Player Features and Ideas Discussion

No further explanation is needed. You've had all of it sufficiently explained to you. You either refuse to listen to the explanation claiming that no one has explained anything or you genuinely don't understand. Your lack of comprehension doesn't mean there aren't good reasons and explanations. It means you don't understand them or if you're intentionally ignoring the explanations you've been provided with it proves you're a troll and should be ignored. Either way, you won't get what you want because CCP aren't really really stupid which is what would be required for them to listen to you on this.


That's where you're dead wrong. These threads will keep coming, sure. CCP won't do anything about it as this skill progression concept was designed by them, has been working fine for 10 years and has the massive majority of players behind it as the concepts required to understand why it's necessary really aren't that difficult to comprehend.

You seem to think that your idea would benefit the majority and in that you're wrong too. In fact, I haven't read anything in any of the threads you've posted in where you're right about anything. This also lends itself to the theory that either you're a troll or you lack understanding and that's putting it mildy.

Considering the fact that you can obviously argue well and don't appear to be completely stupid I think I'll call you out as a troll.

+10 for trolling

-1000 for your truly stupid idea.

wow, wow, wow... take it easy. He is been playing for 2 months only (he can claim that its his alt). Lets see if he'll have same ideas in a year or two if hes still around.

the concept is flawed because it hinders people to get into the game, its wait to win vs. pay to win, in that case I prefer the second if they can not come up with something better, I would even suggest you can purchase skill-points with ISK, so a good trader has the possibility to get stronger faster, at the moment this is just a hold back for skilled players, yea I know thats what you need...

however CCP will have to do it someday, either like mentioned 1-3 month of SP plexable a year, or dual skill training or whatever, the system like there is now, holds people back for too long who want to move in faster, 10 years ago it was fine because all started at the same level, but as the game gets older this is becoming a bigger issue

the character trading is an issue, because player decide the price of SP and not CCP

the whole process needs to be in the hand of CCP completely via plexable SP

however with certain limitations like mentioned, 1-3 month SP plexable per year

at the moment rich players could basically purchase those high trained characters to limit them on the market, and therefore raise the prices extremely, CCP at some point will want to have full control of this process and decide how much SP is worth via plex

nobody wants other characters, I want to built my own one, with the name i like etc. thats the most important part in an MMO

nobody wants to use second hand characters! therefore I need a bit more flexibility to Skill mine, I'm asking just for 1-3 additional month of skilpoints per year, easy for everybody, that would not break anything

Then you take the time to carefully skill up your character like everybody else did.

But nicely done.

You can purchase the time directly in the form of second character training. What you want is a time warp that makes your character as skilled as a 5+ year old character. That's paying to win. Remember when CCP tried the pay to win thing before? It didn't turn out so well.

buying 10yr old pilots off the bazaar is already a 'time warp' and is already fully supported by CCP, also you can buy PLEX instead of farming ISK yourself both clear examples of pay to win by your definition and both already supported by CCP.

The thing the OP wants is yet another 'pay to win' feature added to the game that although new is not a radical departure from what is already being supported in EVE.

The time to learn those skills which exist on a purchased character has been spent the same way everyone elses has... over time. Not via some spend money get instant millions of SP.
