EVE General Discussion

I just want to make sure we're all in agreement that it's okay to create SP from thin air, RE: the reward for Iceland winning the Euro football championship (go Iceland, yay football!)

OR will the Injectors be bought from the market using seized funds, in order to preserve the market instead of trampling it?

If the plan is to magick the Injectors into everyone's redeeming queue and we're okay with it, that means we've completely dropped the original reasoning that all SP will be generated by subscribed players. And I'm just curious if that has finally happened.

May I suggest giving 500k unallocated to each account instead? I guess the difference is your intent. Do you want me to have 500k SP, or do you want me to have an Injector.

I won't get more than 150k per Injector on my characters, so I would receive more benefit from 500k unallocated.

More importantly, there's the market supply to preserve. With 500k unallocated, you'd be giving us a free week of SP but we'd still have to consume an Extractor to put the free SP to market. It would be a lot more stable than a sudden flood of Injectors ready to sell.

Thanks.

do you know how many characters you'd have to extract to provide an injector to every active account

Aprox 160k I would say

My number might be wrong.

Also CCP was beting on something like - if Trump wins and then decides to gove away his wealth and go live in Tibet as a monk we ill give out injectors.

Not out of realm possible.
Just amazingly unlikely.

I understand youre logic - its not the bet, its that they were ready to make SP out of thin air.
I would argue they wouldnt make it out of thin air, more likely take a "loan" in SP that would be covered by future RMT bans.

I totally hope Iceland wins. I am American and impartial, because not EU and our football is different (and I'm sure Iceland could field a HUGE american football team).

I could also really go for an Injector per account. I will use them just like everyone else.

I'm just curious if we've fully accepted SP as something that can be given out on this scale.

They will not win the final so do not worry, I hope they do get there though, to play Germany, the country I was born in :)

CCP giving out SP gifts (such as they sometimes do for extended server outages), fine

Skill trading in any form, no. This will never be ok.

They already made a lie out of that claim with the SP dailies.

The sp that has dissapeared into thin air from extractors I've used on myself and injectors bought on the market and used on my alt more than cover any "free" sp I'm likely to recieve EVER. And imagine that same vanished sp accumulated across all injector use easily covers a free injector for each account. But ultimately wgaf? Ppl making isk off sp trading arent gonna go bankrupt over a single injector per character. Are ppl gonna cry and complain about magic sp every time CCP give out a handfull for server down time? You could just as easily say sp is vanishing into thin air by ppl training w/o optimized attribs. ALL sp appears out of thin air as every active toon in EvE trains skills. You might as well be screaming about magic isk from thin air every time an npc rat is killed. Hell, even a huge percentage of that "sp from thin air" is gonna vanish right back into thin air as the injectors are applied to characters w higher existing sp levels. Ppl just blow my mind sometimes w what they'll complain about.

look at all the euros itt

hey so I kind of feel like out-of-game stuff discussions should be in OOPE. This thread is about ethics in video game XP
