Buy Plex.
Sell Plex on market.
Buy SP injectors.
Buy T2 ships.
Buy T2 ammo.
Pew-pew-pew.

This seems like an inordinate and inconvenient click-fest.

Why not just ditch the pretence, and sell the ships and items directly? And I don't mean for AUR in the Nex store. No, that's an unnecessary step. Directly. Go to account management, pay $50 and get 5m SP and a T2 ship pack.

Why all the hassle?

When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe you're just sitting around, reading 'Guns and Ammo', masturbating in your own faeces...do you just stop and go, 'Wow! It is amazing how f*cking crazy I really am!'?

I suspect no small amount of Sarcasm here (if not then i'm scared) if so then tragically I think that's probably next...

Where was your righteous wrath for the last many years when it was:

Buy Plex.
Sell Plex on market.
Buy SP injectors PVP character.
Buy T2 ships.
Buy T2 ammo.
Pew-pew-pew.

Where was the OP before they pulled the trigger on SPIs?

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Do you agree or disagree that we should just cut out the middle man and go straight to dollars-for-ammo*?

I'm guessing that an ISD will shut this down as a "Rant", but stranger things have happened in EVE.

To buck the popular trend, I began to Rage Start instead of Rage Quit.

...and every time I get another piece of Carbon, I know exactly what CCP is getting this Christmas.

Few years too late then, PLEX was allowing that chain of events for quite a while and GTCs even before that.

Simple answer to the op: Because that "clickfest" is mandated interaction with the entire rest of the game preserving balance and value of items and activities rather than bypassing all of it.

THAT... would be something that would kill the game for sure.

I thought you where a noob posting on the forums and was going to hunt you down and kill you ( in game.. No crazies lol) before realizing you where just making a point.

An unusually valid point come to think of it.

The character bazaar was a necessary evil to help combat gold sellers. If they now did away with the bazaar and left just the SP injectors I'd accept that as a possibly slightly better necessary evil since you know the person behind a particular name is no longer legally allowed to change. But keeping both is a cash grab.

That doesn't make sense. Keeping a legacy character trading system that allows for much lower isk/SP trades and lower cost in fees or AUR/PLEX per SP gained for characters over 5m SP is a cash grab, but forcing people into the more expensive method of trading SP is not?

Where does the ISK come from on the market?
Does CCP buy their own PLEX from you?

CCP buys Aurum from Hilmar and converts it to PLEX then sells it on black chinese market to train all skills to lvl 5 with injectors. You cant do anything to avoid that.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.
