EVE Information Portal

Character bazaar dude....been there for years. Maybe you should, you know...play the game and read the forums vs. just paying to have your character earn SP.

Just out of curiosity...have you ever actually undocked?

F**king idiots

/me opens up Steam for the first time in a month.

Rather than rage-post, I'll just wait for the storm to hopefully blow over and for CCP to publish their actual intentions.

I don't think the diminishing returns is a good idea. An old player should equally be able to acquire SP and apply them towards something like super carrier or titan training as a young player. Why should old players have to suffer because they did not specialize into the biggest ships in the game early?

You are still keeping the character bazaar where people can buy their way into the hundreds of millions of skillpoints, so why have diminishing returns at all? Its not a balanced or fair approach. If I want to spend money to get skillpoints, I should be able to spend money to get skillpoints equally from all sources.

If you are going to make an in-game item for people to buy to apply skillpoints then do it equally for everyone. Have a set standard where 10 dollars buys 100k SP or something and leave it at that.


And for the love of god do something about plex trading. A 20% increase in price within 2 months represents the economy of EVE going down the toilet and doing things in game to earn isk like ratting and mining being a worthless waste of time compared to dropping a few dollars to gain superiority over other players. This game is turning into pay to win at every turn and its disgusting.

Pay for a nice dinner when I take your sister out for a date

Pay your sister to just go straight to my hotel room

Not sure why you'd get excited over this

Still that char had to be trained for all those years.

And why should have i quit years ago? did i killed you recently?

Oh i know. i have a diferent opinion then yourself or CCP?

My point again is that CCP always said this would never hapen ....PAY TO WIN ... LOL

beside this reeking of pay to win (which can already be done today by buying a character off the bazaar)
this messes up our ability to asses a character risk level by looking at its age.

for example , that lone 3 day old character in system with me is not much of a risk..
suddenly , he decloaks in a bomber , points me , and lights a covops cyno for his blops buddies

in other words , this can be exploited to game breaking levels by either players with deep wallets
or vast sums of isk handy .

If anything this positively enforces sticking with your character. Corp history and reputation is more important then overall SP in this game, and more people will want to keep the former if they can adjust the ladder.

The diminishing returns is interesting, but I believe it should be more about **how much SP in a timeframe** that gets dimished, not based off your total SP.

For instance - Someone who has 80m sp, but only wants to change 5m SP every few months should not feel the same isk sink as somebody who has 80m sp, but ones to trade out 40m of it in a week.

With this type of system, long term gameplay is rewarded, those wanting instant gratification or pay-to-win are penalized.

Bwahaha Malc

so true

You wouldn't be able to afford me ...you wanna know why because i have a history ...and associated with that sp. If i was just sitting in a station then sure I would agree with you.
