EVE General Discussion

I'm yet to see a post by tippia with logic. Arguing with him is like bashing your head against a wall repeatedly.

The fact that his argument revolves around him being a older player and 350k being nothing to him shows how detached he actually is from reality.

The ferret is from the sub family Mustelinae, one of the more diverse groups within order Carnivora. Weasles are closer to otters than other members of the same subfamily (Klaus-Peter Koepfli et al, 2008. http://synapsida.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/weasels-in-stone-mustelid-evolution.html).

Oh and why is no one demanding that CCP remove skill points from all characters in the game whenever they dropped the number of skill points for starting players? After all it is only fair and there is a principle at stake right?

On a more serious note, Glathull had a brilliant point from before actually, that seems to have been ignored.



So perhaps everyone would be happier if CCP simply ensured everyone had their support skills trained to at least lvl 3? This would truly benefit new players without being a stealth buff to older players.

After all, this is about principle right?

And I want those skill points back that I missed out on before there was a proper skill queue. Among other things.

There has to be a line, otherwise this becomes insane.

Stop being so damn greedy.

We won't be making it much easier for new players by giving them that extra 350k worth of SP if everyone gets a free unallocated 350k as well, that doesn't narrow the gap at all. Only scoots it over to the right.

Think of the children!!!!

I'd support all accounts receiving these skills to the level new players will be getting if they don't already have them, but come on life-noobs, do the impossible and think about someone other than yourself for once.

My understanding is that several million sp has been disbursed to the community already due to previous skill changes. So this would fall behind that line, wherever you want to draw it.

A newbro Catsnake rolling around in his 350k New sp!

Like I said, I ran out of interesting skills to train.


It was ok because, rather than set a precedent, it followed the dictum of “if you could fly it before, you can fly it after”. I.e. nothing was gained, and nothing was lost (actually, something was lost: you could fit less ability in a clone, but that's so minor that no-one particularly cared).

This as opposed to randomly handing out 350k SP just because someone wanted it, especially since the characters in question didn't lose anything and weren't victims of poor timing. Arbitrary handouts would indeed set a bad precedent.


Actually, both of those show what an illiterate badposter you are. Your strawman has nothing to do with my argument, and the reason you feel like you're bashing your head against a wall is because not having a coherent argument gets you nowhere — said headbashing parallels the futility of that (complete lack of) effort quite neatly.

Arbitrary is a good word. It is arbitrary to not disburse a "trivial," sum of sp when there is no functional way to distinguish between this instance and previous instances of skill modification, all of which were met with proportional sp refunds if not new skills in excess of legacy sp count.

Agreed, however, if they applied it across the board equally to everyone- how would it be unfair to anyone moving forward?

Actually, the base skills for the original implant system are a good example of this.
