so you're not going to answer the question i asked, even after i was asked to ask it?

honestly - if you're not going to answer the question then it shouldn't have been asked for.

you are comparing apples with cars telling people they are the same - happy driving in your apple btw


uh, i haven't mentioned apples or cars.



Well it was a pleasure to talk with you, my good troll - best wishes for you on your future way in eve. Sadly i have to stop reading your posts and responding to them now as i realise this is only resulting in a waste of time. Sadly i feel like you are going to push this further so a few pages ahead all these people reading in here and thinking about this must use their own brains to notice the illogical flaws and arguments :) but i have faith in them

fully dodged? not even remotely. it has been answered that many times it's not even funny.

that's why this thread is as long as it is, because the same questions have to be answered over and over because of people like you who require 30 replies to understand basic points that aren't even related to the topic.


well why did you reply to the message i wrote and you replied about training a skill i was like WTF is that an answer too ???


If we strip away anything virtual from the game we have two constants in play, Time and Money

A legacy character is a snapshot in time, whether 12 years ago or 6 months ago even when unsubbed its frozen in time but in no way can it be manipulated. You can add time to it but it can never be reversed. There is no deconstruction of its timeline, It is a part of the ever evolving universe of eve from a conceptual point of origin.

Now comes a fresh approach, you now want to be able to reverse engineer the timeline. You now want to be able to create elite characters from fragments of time. The convergeance of multiple time streams to manipulate this creation at speed.

The legacy approach has a one off monetary payement, the Hybrid need feeding to progress its ever increasing need for time.


we've been through this. when a character trains a skill doesn't affect anything.


How are they the same ???

a character with mining V gets a 25% bonus to mining yield.

he doesn't magically get 30% if he trained it 4 years ago. he gets 25% too. that's how it's the same.

skills don't magically have different bonuses because they were trained at different points in time.

this question has been answered so many times it's getting tragic now. the answer is even in the devblog.

go and read it.


Cobblers, you are being incredibly obtuse here, the answer is indeed in the devblog and Rise goes to great lengths explaining the "improvements" that will be made on the character bazaar model.... those are the differences, you are just flailing about now trying to deny the obvious differences that everyone (including the developers) have spelled out.

Maybe you need a break, you've been at this thread for quite a while now.

I could be wrong, but what I'm imagening right now is an EVE where buyable SP will actually make people obsess much less over SP...

If you're a smoke addict, you get worried if you don't have a spare pack around the house, even though you probably won't need all those cigarettes before you'll have a chance to buy more.

to be fair, i think this thread is done now. for the last like 150 pages there has been 0 discussion of the devblog as people have had to have basic and irrelevant concepts explaining to them.

Can you sell me 500k sps from Dave Stark for me to inject into Portmanteau please ? Apparently that facility already exists. Thanking you in advance.

It was about the quality of your question, not about me denying it should be answered. If you change the quality, it would move the discussion forward. It should definitely be answered then. I do give you that.

By the way, do you know the joke about the guy listening to the message about a wrong-way driver on the radio traffic service? He responded by “What do you mean, one of them? There are hundreds!” Pirate

Seems to me you are getting quite a few messages about reading posts and quoting properly.

Last time that “greed was good”, the information was leaked. In 2015 it was posted.

Oddly enough I think both POVs will occur. I agree that SPs as a commodity will seems less important to some, to me in fact. But also more SPs within easier reach of newer guys will have the opposite effect, like dangling a pipe in front of a crack ho.

i don't need to change the quality. i described how a process worked and asked you to tell me which process i was talking about. if you don't know which one i'm talking about that's fine.

considering you can create a TSP one however you want, it can very much be the same as a bazaar toon if you want it to.
