Player Features and Ideas Discussion

lets see even a newbie can kill an veteran if he is smart and the veteran isnt skilled eve isnt easy it should not be easy
and not every one has the money for plex for me its a good point in eve that i dont can reach all i want within a few weeks


wait skill enjoy and skill again

You know what else you can accelerate training with? Implants.... :)

So, you effectively want to see the end of Eve? No thanks.

I sympathise but it's a game breaking issue, don't forget we had riots over this type of thing.

Im going to try to be as constructive as possible with this post to explain why this is a bad idea.

Eve is a game all about economics, and basic economics tells us that if something is rare and fairly useful then it's fairly valuable. Economics also tells us that if that thing were to become much more common it would be much less valuable. EG if someone found a cheap easy way to make lead into gold, then gold would not be worth very much.

Ive been playing consistently since early 2007, that makes me not super old, but im not brand new either. My character has over 120 million SP which is fairly uncommon and that makes him fairly valuable. Now if anyone could easily get 120 million SP on their character over night then my character would be much more common and therefore much less valuable.

The reason the character bazaar is ok is because the amount of SP in game hasnt changed when someone buys something from the character bazaar.

TL;DR
Essentially what this would do is cause "SP inflation" therefore making all the other characters in the game worth comparatively less

So spend the dollars to buy a Cerebral Accelerator for that new character on the new account. Or accept that SP only buy a certain amount of advantage in the game, and throwing dollars after SP is only going to help you if you know what to do with those SP, which a genuine new player doesn't.

The most important asset in the game is friends. You don't need to have frigate 5 if you have 5 times as many friends as the guy you're shooting, regardless of SP difference. Bringing more guns and more mid slots to the fight is more important than bringing more SP to the fight.

Another key point regarding this is that in any given situation a character will only be using a subset of skills that are relevant to the current situation. A 2 month old character with 4 mil focused purely in frigate combat skills would be theoretically in a better position than a 10 year old 200 mil + SP character with only 3 mil SP invested in frigate combat skills.

The 10 year old chars massive industrial ability won't help them one bit, however their 10 years game experience will most likely mitigate the 1 mil Sp difference in frigate combat. An older character can just do more, and even then there isn't so much that a young character can't do.

My character is 7 mil sp from a little over 3 months training yet I am mining in a barge, building starbase structures, modules and ships, have multiple PI colonies, flying everything up to Battleships, and now engaging in trade activities.

I'd say that Eve allows you the freedom to become very involved very quickly in my opinion.

What a **** ******* post... Please lock on the premise of a douche bag trolling. (Not reference myself, although I am a douche bag).

This statement is false.
suicide ganking chars are often a few days old.
it is even faster getting a reasonable t1 tackle frig.
nobody hates extra tackle.
frig 5 is what 9 days?
so assault frig or a ceptor can be done within the first month if you want. are these useless ships?
i know i was partaking in huge null fleet battles within 2 months of starting EVE.

No it doesn't. It allows RICH players to accelerate their training.

Basically unbalancing the most balanced thing in the Eve universe (the skillpoint system) in favor of those players who can afford to pay extra $$$ or ISK.
