Forums » Suggestions
Actually I made the statement in voice chat several times and was told “yeah you should suggest that”. So there are other players who agree, why they don’t come here and post I can not say.
I see more people outing their own alts than I do other players.

A really great Suggestions thread happens when someone makes a suggestion, and the others help refine it through constructive criticism. A less great one involves attacking and defending for pages.
-1 to everything but the mentor stuff, because the mentor system is OOC bullshit anyway. Since that sort of interaction is largely player-to-player rather than character-to-character, I don't really care if it's account-wide. Not with how it currently works, anyway.
Everything else on that list is character stuff. You can whine about things being too hard all you want, but it doesn't change the fundamental issue. Alt 1 should not get any sort of benefit due to the actions of Alt 2. If you think those achievements are too hard, then the correct solution is to suggest ways of making them not be too hard. Or just human the hell up and deal with it.

If you ask me, those type of threads make for a better popcorn time than the other type.

I mean, this thread has been up for 5 days now, where are all these people that support your idea?

I've personally never heard anyone say they don't want to grind alts. If you want an alt, you have to do the work. If it's too much, then just don't make an alt and stick with one character.

+1 to making some of the grind based rewards account wide.
The grind sucks. I hate the grind. Most of the rewards are are barely worth doing once, much less twice.
Word of the day: masochism.

No point trying to bait me wally, but we both know this idea has 0 merit. Sure, the mentor badges are too hard to get and the entire mentor system is flawed, but I still think a better fix for that would be to fix the issues; not simply say "oh well, you have done it once now, have a badge all around".
The "grind" you all keep referencing is a joke in VO, except for building the Trident. Honeslty, I've never known a game be classed as "grindy" when you can have a top tier ship with hours of playing if done right. The Trident/Capship building is the only real grind VO has, and for what it is, it should be grindy.

Mentorship is broken - does anyone actually do this for real? I gave up a while ago as numerous people wanted mentoring but then disappeared.
HD beams - a joke. Only viable for UIT alts. By the time anyone has developed a serco/itani alt then they have effectively excluded themselves from doing the prospecting missions as they will be hated in the opposing faction. Everyone just buys them from a shop or another player.
Dent grindiing - an awful waste of a lifetime, and that's despiteit being a hell of a lot easier now all stuff can be bought in N2 and since the M7 station was cropped. The only thing that has made it a little more difficult is the prevalence of spybots permanently camped in key stations such as F6, M7 and in Brac.
As a compromise how about if you have built a dent on one alt it gets you a Goli on other alts?

You "+1" folks need a better argument than "its too hard" to change my mind. Nothing worth having comes easy. Only Mentorship is suited to account-wide in my opinion. I would suggest that mentor points across all alts on an account count towards the mentor badges, and remove the near pointless 5% discount earned at 5 points. Otherwise, I am still in the "nope" camp (not that its me you need to convince).
Mentoring Should happen as a player/account wide task. Points toward mentor badges should accumulate to the player instead of per character. I think this would help encourage mentoring overall. The total points per badge may need to be adjusted upward a bit so they still require a lot of work but the increased value of the reward does justify the added effort in my opinion.
Hardware should never be shared by alts.
The HD badge is not that big a grind however it does need to be reworked so that serco and itani characters can achieve them. Perhaps splitting the badge into three parts/faction might work better for everyone.
Serco badge required for purchase from serco stations
Itani badge required for Itani stations
Uit badge for uit stations
Any badge for purchase at Corvus stations...
Currently there are 120 missions
Make each badge 60 missions each and add several harder to find ores that are specific to each region
Again - just the opinion of an old miner :}

+1 to PaKettle's revisions.
As for dents - maybe we should pay most attention to those who actually have built capships (- I know that Faille and myself cancel each other out....)

I dids great HD beam badge in sinagle weak! No needs to make easier.
I agree with Pakettle's balance of the prospector badge. You, tvns, may have been able to grind out all the spots in a week, but would you really spend the time to nuetralise yourself to get the badge on a serco/itani charecter that you didnt want to rp as a neutral pilot? I wouldnt.
I will also add a +1 to splitting up the Prospector mission as described. I can imagine it's an issue for Itani/Serco players who want to maintain logical RP standings.
