No comment on first part of my comment? Roll


if you didn't shut up after the first time some one pointed out you were wrong like 100 pages ago. what difference will it make me telling you how wrong you are?

at least the other guy has the excuse of not understanding english very well.


If you didn`t shut up after the first time someone pointed out you are just dodging and avoiding questions like 100 pages ago. What difference will it make me telling you what a trolling, manipulative spinner you are? :D Still I enjoy doing it time after time Lol

Thanks for having consistency of not being able to provide counter arguments through this long thread.

Also, thanks for being with us for 200 pages, spending countless hours for something which is "of no importance" to you Blink


although as shown throughout every time i "dodged a question" it was by answering the question. i had to explain my answers 5 times since it seems everyone in the "omg the sky is falling" camp doesn't quite understand how words work.

counter arguments were provided pages ago, i'm just too lazy to type it all out again. honestly. you youngsters have the energy for repetition, i'm getting old.

just because it isn't important doesn't mean it isn't interesting. sports aren't important yet millions of people spend millions if not billions of hours watching it - because they find it interesting.


Only thing shown throughout every time you dodged the question was twisting out words, taking things out of the context then replying on them, stating lies, trying to manipulate and spin. "omg the sky is falling" camp obviously understood what you are doing so you have been accused by multiple people for doing that.

Counter arguments were not provided, you did not even read all the arguments. I have challenged you multiple times to do so. If they are so dumb, they should be easily challenged. And if other side cannot disapprove you then you win that discussion. Yet you have failed to do it that way and you just keep spamming, hoping that your stamina in manipulation will outlast others and that the noise you create will show people who just join the thread that you actually disapproved someone and that the "supporters" are correct so they will not spend too much time thinking about it on their own but just taken stated lie for granted truth. Ie you are trying with the old one "1000 repeated lie becomes truth" to make your bs truth.

For example Dror has way more arguments for his idea than you do. Even though i completely dislike his idea of making EVE look like counter strike he does provide some arguments which do work in his theory but they have too mine cons he is simply not taking in consideration.

There were also some others who tried discussing with real pro/con arguments.

On the other side we have you,Mr Epeen, divine something, who will keep trolling or repeating stated lies like they are facts and trying to challenge others based on that.

I guess sports are important for those people then? As they are the most interesting thing they can find?Other way they would spend time on something more important. Still, another try of your digression as by looking how much time you dedicate to this topic it seems it is quite important for you to push it. As you do not just watch it, you are top spammer here.

I do not know nor care why do you do it, but saying that you do not care about something and then spend hours and hours, day by day proves your statement is nonsense. Like the most of other things you say Blink Or you have empty life and you find this being so exciting and interesting topic to troll 200 pages. In which case I am sorry for you.

8 out of every 10 will quit when they find it is likely to cost them a few hundred dollars to buy enough SP to fly what they want.

So, what's the alternative suggestion?

It is not perfect but is better than just buying SP.

Briefly;
Create skill cues for particular ships, or easier on Devs, provide links to eveMon, EveHq etc at the time a character is created
Trial last 28 days and starts with 1 mil SP ( 500k unallocated)
Upon subscription a new player / account is given an additional 2 mil unallocated SP.

After 1 month in the game an account can accrue 4 mil SP with no implants or special remap.
Then it is down to us as Eve to keep them invested in the game.

Oh, yeah..

I would imagine that the SP system would be much more rewarding if all skills were divided by faction. Instead of training so much for a single support skill, that skill is divided by 4. That reduces the problems even from fitting SP.

Edit: This sorta relies on the idea that increasing the value (sub retention) of the game is the main reason for the announcement idea. It obviously doesn't support the same benefits as actually adding SP to the character, but it does bridge the low-SP starter niche and their goals more efficiently.

"SP is helpful for the game?" Here's all of the research on motivation -- it says the opposite! What purpose does it serve, then? Starter corps are non-competitive. Sov is unchallenged. "Fix sov!" you say? Remove SP.

no, it isn't. we've established many times how new players can earn billions. go and watch the meta show where the leader of goonswarm explains it - you don't just have to take my word for it, you see.

Not as much as you would imagine - Not long ago plex were 500 mil.
If an item is put on the market too much cheaper than what others are selling it for - It will get purchased in bulk and relisted at the higher prices.
If one of the idle rich in Eve believe they can profit (or just mess with the market) by buying all of a popular item that is available - They will - and turn a nice profit on it by relisting it for more.

As Alavaria Fera said - The joy of player-driven markets.

My opinions are mine.

  If you don't like them or disagree with me that's OK.- - - - - - Just don't bother Hating - I don't care

It really is getting harder and harder to justify $23 a month for each sub.

How about NO?

If people don't like what they are buying they simply should not buy it. Countless times I said already we do not need more super pilots.
Noobs are noobs for a reason.

In addition to that you are killing your own game. EVE is supposed to last forever. How do you want to accomplish that if your playerbase is done training in 2 days?

Can you hear that sound?


Right, that is the sound of EVE Offline.

Eve Minions is recruiting.

So it's traiding warfare and not abuse. Legit part of the game as any warfare.

I do not need it, I was trying to teach you how to get some credibility. Random guy joining now and reading your post can just mark you as bs poster over it as you talk about something that can be easily linked without the link itself.
