Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I was contemplating this when I wrote my post. But how would they be regulated? Clearly putting them in nulsec would be a good move as most people in null are afraid of getting pew pewed with expensive implants so they avoid using them for the most part. But if we tried to apply it actively to skills would they be a dropped item? Or would you get it for simply attempting or using things related to that skill? Like a bonus you receive if you do said activity so many times. But then what dictates the time the bonus is applied?

Your reasons as to why your proposals should be implemented are flawed and were deconstructed by arguments in this thread already, but here goes:

1) There is nothing wrong with the current skill-training system which takes the game away from 'grinding for SP' model that forces people to play the game (also a cause of internet gaming addiction). Now you mentioned that your booster would reward players "FOR" doing things but you also noted the benefit of doing these things will wear down over time... forcing the rest of the players to do those things again and again to get the said benefit. Therefore, you have again suggested a grind-based skill system, albeit less intense than the standard models, which is a terrible proposal for EVE.

2) It may make sense for skills to be acquired through practice but your proposal doesn't quite suggest that. If this was to make complete sense, then the more time I spend shooting at a stationary target (practice), the better I would get at the relevant skills. There are two ways to implement this - 1) Sit in front of my computer and play (time/practice) constantly shooting at stuff to get skills; or 2) Have a skillbook that my character spends real-time learning/practicing while I have the liberty of doing anything else really; now I know what you are thinking: "Have 2) but with 1) giving you some benefits as well?" - in that case see Point 1) above and also consider the below point:

3) The overall proposal does not benefit any one group over the other in any way, as your proposed system would be applicable to a 100M SP character as it would be to a noob. It does not help noobs any more than a more detailed tutorial would in teaching them aspects of the game.

So, the bottom line? What does your proposal achieve?
- Grinding for SP benefit.
- Opens a clear area of exploitation especially by more veteran players.

I hope that my argument was constructive and made sense - I look forward to a reply.

While I agree with not buffing player training in low/null/wh space, you're a bit incorrect about players having the same training.

Players who are wealthy in real life have an advantage because they can go pvp, lose their implants, then simply buy a plex for new ones. Basically, this gives wealthy players an unfair advantage.

Though I agree this is a bad idea.

Ah, hell. It was a good idea in theory.
Then again everything is, right?
