LP should be buy and sell-able on the market and be able to put in contracts because even when you use external tools its hard to figure out how to use the LP store.
Why do you post your ideas in completely unrelated threads, Bakster?
I’ve split this out to its own thread.

That’s what Fuzzworks is for. But also, yes. I would like to be able to just straight up sell LP on the market or through contracts.
Bakster posts an idea that isn’t hot garbage. Truly a sign of the end times.

I like the way it is now. Mission running corps and fw corps can finally make income in a straightforward way that’s easy for even newer players to recognize if they at being taken advantage of without tanking the lp market.
A good chunk of the value from lp comes from the effort required to convert it. So while this idea would be more convenient it would Akari drastically devalue lp.
They could always implement a conversion ratio of 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1 or even 10:1 as a disincentive so players could self-convert their stockpiles of LP.
True. If LP were easily sellable they would be significantly cheaper.
“Cheaper” is better than “not used”.
But for those who does spend some effort to convert LP to money, cheaper LP is bad.
Right but this is the niche corps set up to buy lp and corps with lp buy backs are filling right now and it’s a healthy ecosystem. It also pushes players to interact more with each other
Interesting. I feel that something has changed in the 5 years i’ve been away. Don’t remember such a services before. Care to explain a bit?
Corps can buy lp now. Corp projects can automate this.
I don’t think LP should be tradable at all, except maybe between corps within an empire (at a slight loss, naturally). That’s even worse than just throwing EMs at dailies. Why do so many people want to be able to gain everything by selling PLEX? Why even play the game? I do think LP should be a little easier to gain (just a little) but making it just another P2W currency only helps those with deep pockets and no patience. Honestly, CCP needs to make a version of EVE where money means nothing, ships are free, skills are all maxed and all the people allergic to any form of effort can go blow each other up all day.
