EVE Information Portal

This whole is utterly bullshit.
Pay-2-win sneakes into EVE.

You are not alone. I see so much more benefits to old vets than newbros with this feature. As old player I welcome change as it will benefit me. If I was newbro and looking at that 5D 11m 45s skill training and << INSTANT UPGRATE! Insert credit card here! >> button. It would leave bitter taste about EVE:

Everyone,

It’s very important to note here that this means all the skillpoints available to buy on the market in EVE will have originated on other characters where they were trained at the normal rate. Player driven economies are key to EVE design and we want you to decide the value of traded skillpoints while we make sure there is one single mechanism that brings new skillpoints in to the system – training.


1) First of all, the skills injector will only be available on the market in game, so the real question is « At what price ? »

Another way to phrase the question: « Will skills injector accessible to players who do not have 5 or 10 years on Eve? »

I doubt it.

Playing Eve is not spending time generating ISK to be abble to pay our monthly subscription or to purchase our skills injectors. Otherwise, it's no longer a game, but a work to do. Only former players can generate isk without efforts or in a funny way.

For me, despite a year and a half on Eve, I still can’t pay my subscription in game with Plex. Without spending my days generating isk in Eve in front of my screen, how could I?

Then buying in game a skills injector, the potential value of such device is so high, without being a Multi billionaire former player in Eve, I do not think that will be possible.

This means this opportunity will only be for former players, those who are already so powerful and make laws in Eve universe. New players or those who do not spend 10 hours a day generating isk (because there are plenty of things to do in real life) will go their way.

2) Nowhere It’s said that, after my skills extraction, I can’t do the skills injection on me. So the system will be used as skill points redistribution.
If I was a former player with over 80 million SP, that’s what I would do, extract my skills to reinject them elsewhere. Redistribution of my skills so.

This means that the injector skill will certainly not end up on the market.

And if CCP want to lock this ability, it would be impossible because we would just have to use an alt.

So, well ... it's not for us, players who do not have many years in this game. And that is sad.

Why CCP doesn’t see this. Maybe CCP have undeclared sub-objectives, nothing to do with the playability (money for example).

Eve is a many years online game. As such, it faces the problem of all old online games: keeping ancient players by giving them new opportunities, while allowing novice players to have a place in the game.

I have never seen a company succeed that, and found almost the same pattern: More content for former players (but inaccessible for new players), boost new players, artificially (e.g., schematic for any game, giving a novice player the ability to start level 140 rather than level 1, it’s a caricature, but that's it).

CCP what you are doing now by implementing this cancerous feature into Eve despite the enormous amount of opposition to the idea , is flat out betrayal.

I hope you're planning on changing your Corp name after you've milk this game down to the bone marrow because no one is ever going to trust anything released by CCP Games ever again (with the exception to pay2win fanatics of course).

How may I delete this post #473

He doesn't want to acknowledge this obvious issue because it doesn't suit his agenda. He's a Clown legion alt after all.

From now on, you do not know if a few hours old char can light a covert cyno or not.

This makes the world more challenging...

The sell-out of SPs. The inflation of a crucial feature and the fall of a bearing pillar of Eve Online.

This is so desparate they must be in real trouble.
