Some of you people are truly clueless about Iron Bank... he's a banker of the corp called I want Isk. they own a site where you can gamble isk (and yes the site is rigged like most casinos, you have more chances to lose than gain) @ iwantisk.com

he did not pay 30k... he simply took the isk people put into the site (in their corp wallet) and used almost 2 trillion isk worth.

this guy doesn't even have to play or even log on and his corp deposits him money on a monthly basis... so what he does is go on twitch and give some isk away as "giveaways", fully knowing that this would become popular in eve twich channel... he figured... if he were to donate some isk away, people would donate him real money to stream.

he does have a "real" job however, i guess twitch doesn't pay him enough yet.


as for sp injectors themselves... the entire point of eve for the past 13 years was to gain sp so you could do more with your character, now a new account can max 27 years of skill time into 1 hour... ok... so you basically destroyed the core of your game and told the vets who paid you for 13 years to **** off, it's time for some change.

welp... i am not rich, i can't afford to buy injectors... i also don't play a specific game all day every day to make enough isk to buy some either... so i'm just going to let my sub run out and go play something else.

ccp in a nutshell = cancelled wis, cancelled wod, cancelled dust, no word on legion, seagull talking about a vision that never happened, ccp staff keeps leaving including the founders of the company, sold off white wolf, decided to make some VR games when that platform is not even close to being in demand... the list goes on, these are just examples that come off the top of my head

you're a horrible company man, get your **** together ffs.

i'm out


concentrate on your own game man, why leave a game because someone else decided to flaunt isk, it doesnt change the actual gameplay and the char you are on is a 2013 so pretty obvious you would never be top of the sp leaderboards so whats the point?

horrible company, yes very horrible for trying to make money lol What?

Nice way to f%^k up 10 plus years of training chars CCP

http://eveboard.com/pilot/Jenshae_Chiroptera/progress works fine, but your provided API key seems invalid and has been for a while. Should give info if you fix it.

Speaking of which, I now know what that randomly named API key I deleted a while back was. Guess I could go fix it.

I see a lot of people upset about skill trading. Though beyond personal vanity i dont see any actual arguments against it.

Asking people to begin this game 13 years behind with no possibility to close the gap on the vets is a big ask. Especially if those new players put more time in and undock more on the daily than 99% of the bitter class.

People buying skills has no impact on players who dont use the feature. The game is 13 years old and concurrent player levels are dropping, changes like this are good for the game if people can set aside their misplaced culture shock.

Admittedly, there are many other things they could do to improve the new player experience to help retain more new players, but CCP seems unwilling to make the default state of a fresh install of EVE fit for any purpose giving newbs the impression that EVE is completely unplayable.

If the SP injectors are such a pain in your arse, then just go ffs!
Just eff off and be done with it, holy crap!
Some of you should step away from the PC anyways, because it looks like you take that game as some kind of replacement religion, holy ****!



wow sounds like someone has been injecting themselves to much. Chill dude, the withdrawal symptoms of using so many will drop soon

Yeah it's such a bad move for a corporation to follow the "lead" of successful ones...

Anyone else noticed that no single newbie made a post in this thread regarding how positive a change this is for him/her ?

Is there even such a thing as a true newbie in this game anymore ?

Yea, just sayin .....

Lol that actually is hilarious, EA and Blizzard are enormously successful companies that can crank out AAA titles that gamers **** themselves for in anticipation.

This highlights exactly why the skill injector ability should be removed from the game, it is a bad idea and this only goes to prove it.

Please don't ruin this wonderful game by providing lazy people with shortcuts.

The fact that it takes dedication and time to accomplish anything in this game is exactly why I and most others play it.
