I'll give you a ltitle hint.

Some of us actaully put a little time time into our accounts and don't like it when peolpe are given shortcuts for something that will not have a lasting impact on game in a good way.

Givnig CCP botched bug reports or showing up for a test evevnt for SP's won't be for the bug reprots...it will be for the SP's.

This is a question of motivation...not goals. They wont give a crap about filing reports. THAT is the point. Let alone showing up to test something that is likely going to be utterly boring or reptitive.

Singualrity kills don't count after all as an example.



It will have good impact - as the QA team will have more data, leading to better game.

As not to spam the reports - that's why I suggested awarding only first dozen or so of quality reports.



More Data != Quality Data (Thats Does Not Equals for those who don't know programming speak)

I disagree with ANY proposal that grants SP to any player for any reason outside of current game mechanics. The way the time based training and skill queue work is one of the fundamental parts of EVE that makes it both different and better than any other game out there. Any proposal that wants to change this is, in my opinion, a bad idea.

What about "paying" players for participating in tests with AUR? AUR seem to be worthless (to me anyways) and people who participate in the tests could be paid, say, 500 AUR/hour for their participation? That wouldn't unbalance skill training, and they could buy themselves monocles or something if they like.

Which would equal precisely 2 more than you...

So...im with Draconis on the "HELL NO". If they won't give us SP on Tranquility for participating in SiSi testing why would they give us SP for finding bugs they are already fully aware of?

Either way anything that is giving free SP for doing nothing is a bad idea.

Personally, I like AUR idea. I find the idea of spending RL for vanity items repugnant (but that's me) and what's available isn't worth the isk on the market. That being said, I'm one of the people on the fence about showing up for mass tests. I keep meaning to but never get around to it. SIS laucher helped this might actualy tip the balance. AUR isn't game altering and really it's probably the only way I'd ever end up having enough to buy anything decent.

It is interesting to see how people would deny other people rewards for their effort.

Free SP, can't support.

Aurum, sure. Free NeX items, sure.

But no free SP.

Not supported

I pay my monthly fee and so do you. You should not get any more SP than me.

Our toons are evenly matched because of it.

Just cause you live in mommy and daddy's basement doesnt mean you should be getting a million more skill points than everyone else.

Its ccp's job to run and test its product and code.
Its our job to report any bugs and play the game.

MNagy, as my mom you taught me there is a difference between millions and ten thousand. Or was it your brother and my dad?
Also people are getting various SP per hour - especially in nonsecure space. The richest get the most as they can afford fly with the best implants.

My personal opinion... They should get the amount of SP that would have been learned in the time of the Mass Test. As a thank you for helping kind of thing. these mass tests are really important for the fixing of problems before we get the stuff, and the more people that show up, the more test point there will be.


However, there should be no bonus to bug reports individually. Way too much room for exploitation... IMO.

Looks like ZeroSeven is still missing the point (by Astromic Units noless) that his presence is completely unwanted.

Your toon still skills up on the regular server while you are playing on the other one.

You do not deserve double the sp vs any other player in the eve universe just becaue you 'Wanted" to go on the other server. You were not forced to go.
