EVE Information Portal

Ok there you go I just canceled my subscriptions. After the 231 actual days I have spent in game and the HOLY CRAP (I looked it up) thousands of dollars i have spent on this game to be told that my time and the i went threw to get to this point in eve matters less than getting some new kids that will unsub in a month cuts to dang deep. At least the folks at Star Citizen are honest about taking my money.

Now I wish i wouldn't have gotten those Eve Vegas tickets.

CCP you have till Jan to make me change my mind

dude... your point is invalid for two reasons:

1. you: "why is it a bad idea?" "it's already answered, just read it" "no, i'm lazy"

2. saing "there are already pay to win possiblites" is no reason to implement another one wich is even worse

The majority of the objections are unsupported kneejerk posts, of those that do present reasoning and exploits, I haven't seen one that would actually work as stated with the restrictions actually presented in the blog.

Also moving SP back and forth for any remotely trained character is about the worst thing you can do with the system s described,

Exactly, and even if you did the old fashioned way, you plug in the skills, set up your queue and then go watch Walking Dead. Damned hard.

Another player who can't be bothered to actually read some of the previous responses addressing the point why the existence of a character bazaar is not really an excuse to making things worse.

I support this idea/change.

I've bought and sold over 50 toons on the bazaar.

This is just another way to advance the game.

+1

true but you were always able to buy it elsewhere and haul it with an alt. but to my understanding the point of skillpoints in general is that not every player is meant to do anything anytime. you have to spend time to learn something. this would no longer be the case.

5-10k online in next summer? CCP again make blog about micro transaction? Players need destroy jita monument for stop idiot developers? **** storm can destroy Iceland CCP STOP IT!!!
And there my gold svipul, premium +50% loot and bounty, and gold ammo +50% tracking and damage?

This is a terrible idea.

Look, if you want to change the Character Bazaar... then change the Character Bazaar. What you're doing is something else entirely.

Do this:

Have an in-game UI (like the one used for Industry/Blueprints). If the seller followed the rules exactly, he can click on "Sell this Character on the Bazaar." It can be an auction, or a "buy it now" style. Seller gets to choose how much isk, etc etc. One of the requirements should be an alternate character where the ISK would go when the character is sold. People can browse through all the characters for sale.

Once the seller clicks, "Sell Me!" it logs the seller out and the character is unavailable to you. Once somebody buys it in-game, the character is automatically transferred to the buyer's account (like when somebody buys plex - they redeem it) and the ISK is transferred to the character the seller selected as the receiver. Done. Simple.

As far as changing the name and looks... too bad. In EVE, you're the character, not yourself. The great benefit of this game is that the characters are static. I never have to worry about an old friend changing their name and disappearing.

What, a player can side step training by going to the character bazaar with a load of ISK. They can get that ISK by selling PLEX in game.


Further, if a character does buy an SP packet, how is it any less "hard" to figure out where to allocate those SP?

That is the only hard thing about training, the actual acquisition of SP is dead easy.
