EVE Information Portal

When did Eve become Facebook?

Payers don't have to play the game to earn isk, and soon they wont even have to log on to max out their skills.

No No No NO Worst Idea ever please Don't candy Crush my game.

It is curious, isn't it?

Actually, no -- most of the people who dislike the idea are posting word salads rife with the tell-tale signs of an emotional outburst. Any sane person can easily discount these posts, as they add nothing.

Those who like the change typically post like me, and therefore are more worthy of consideration.

I suppose the fact that you have to load the extractor with SP already in someone's brain is completely lost on you.

This is a great idea. Do this!

I like your well set out path of thought.

Ah, yes, the onerous burden of logging in.

I have a 300 day skill queue and I can donate PLEX to my account to keep it alive from without. Clearly, the fact that I need to log in to manage it about twice a year is what made my SP have meaning.

This is ****!

Are you serious?

No thank you this is a terrible idea.

I have been playing this game since day one and for me this idea of yours will kill EVE for me.

I think this is a bad idea.

Buying skillpoints for money is always a bad idea. Doesn't matter if ingame money or real money (which is basically the same in eve terms).

A skill I've just bought doesn't feel als exciting as a skill that I've actually spent some time training for.

Also people will just grind isk not to buy ships and blow them up, but to buy skills and more skills. I don't see that helping the climate of eve one bit. Actually more people likely get bored if they

Instead of investing time in something like this CCP should rather fix the hideous thing that is the attribute and remap system. And the fix would be rather easy: no neural remaps, every attribute has the same basis value of 27 and we keep the learning implants so that pod traveling is still risky.

No more postponing skilltrains into new ships or roles just because it is suboptimal with the current remap which basically only hurts the players younger than 2 years. Overall skilltraining would also be a bit faster (but not much) which is also a good sideeffect since the training time for individual skills only increases by a small amount compared to current optimal primary/secondary attribute remaps (the difference between the full 27 points in the secondary attribute to the usual 21 points with current perfect remaps).

That would be something worth investing development time into CCP. But you guys rather work on something that doesn't really benefit the playerbase as much as it hurts it. Which I can kind of understand since you're a business and it will make you shitloads of money.
