Researcher ID - It's coming back!

[Moberg]

It's almost like you're suggesting anyone without an SRP doesn't have good intentions or a genuine interest. Maybe it doesn't sprout a magical e-peen, but there is definitely some allusion of grandeur afforded to SRPs. It's a shame that we attach a 250 million powermine/powertrade in order to make sure people have been on the server long enough, but then also add a few months of character existence into the equation to make sure it's around for long enough. It definitely filters out who can make money and who can't be bothered grinding.

You're suggesting a semi-metagaming sort of roleplay where people scan IDs before deciding to interact?

I wasn't suggesting that at all, my apologies if that's what came across. I wouldn't call an SRP an allusion of grandeur, but rather an illusion of superiority.

In regards to the ideas above, I personally like them and hope the admin team does take them into consideration. While it was already reduced to a low 250M (which can easily be earned with 5 ore runs), it does not help those who do not trade at all. I mean, there are obviously loans but there's the risk of your SRP not getting approved and then you having to powertrade to pay it back or face sanction.

In addition, as far as I know most people treat the ID inRP. And even if not, you usually scan the ID of a person to make sure you do not violate rules. I personally do not let that carry over into the roleplay in certain situations, for example when facing Wilde, but in regards to corporate or military roleplay it makes more sense to treat the ID as a roleplay object for myself.
