Skills are timers. You buy yourself a timer which let's you to do some activity after it has run out. Now, this game is not about waiting timers to run out. It's more about players interacting with other players.

What really matters is ISK.

You have to grind ISK in order to buy ships, fit ships and build ships.

There actually isn't any need for skill system at all. It doesn't serve any purpose in this game.

Skillpoint farming is just a passive income that everyone now has. It's like a planetary colony.

It could be safely removed and nothing would change. Well, more comedy killmails, but no real problems what so ever.

I wonder how you managed to end up here, as you obviously were looking for World of Warcraft.
Let me help you https://duckduckgo.com/?q=world+of+warcraft

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

We should have to use equipment long enough to earn the necessary skills to use T2 equipment.

This would naturally follow the inject/deject thing. Now, we're going to see "level with activity...like all the GOOD games..."

When up to your ears in alligators it's difficult to remember the original objective was to drain the swamp.

As long as the tale of the hunt is told by the hunter, and not the lion, it will favor the hunter.
