What would you guys think about an option to exchange PLEX for a lot of skill points added to when you right-click on it in your inventory?

That would be a terrible idea. While some might call the ability to buy PLEX with real money a 'pay to win' feature, this would be monumentally gamebreaking and would really make EVE 'pay to win'. The current system is fair and balanced.

CCP Falcon:  This thread is terrible.

No.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

We all desire the ability to jump into certain ships faster, this is a frustration that you'll have to learn to replace with patience.

I would personally not riot upon implementation, I do not feel as strong about it but I also have no problem with the current system, so either way works for me.

I say yes, under the following limits.

1 skill point per plex. Big smile

How about you can do that but if you get pod killed you lose all those "bought" skill points.

Now I would do that in a heart beat, got about 2 mil skill points I do not want. I want them removed from my skill sheet. If CCP gave me a Plex they could have those 2 mil skill points.

Or better yet, I will play CCP a Plex to remove those 2 mil skill points. I do not want any reimbursement for them at all.

I say yes, under the following limits.

1 skill point per plex. Big smile


counter -- approx 2 million SP per PLEX, obtainable over the period of 720 hours (variable based on some unrelated input attributes). Blink

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Does the normal skill training system pause, whilst this is being applied? P

sort of... you can only use the ~2m SP on an alt.

edit -- kills two birds with one stone, really ... you get to train two characters on the same account AND SP for PLEX.
