"I'm not getting the same conclusion regarding either a set availability or value from that. Rather he stated SP availability is variable. Meanwhile I'd question the logic that a high extractor price does anything to change availability in a positive fashion or further the idea that those power blocks can somehow realistically be priced out while still making them obtainable by anyone else."

Do you realistically believe that people that use plex for Isk will continue to use just plex? It will be easier and cheaper to sell extractors, which brings us to the diminishing availability of plex and its exponential increased demand - or, again, do you both think these SP farms will be paid with real subs? The equations are estimations based on current numbers and not accurate models based on an overwhelming probability of the cheap extractors surpassing plex in value. You say it is impossible, but is it really?

And even if this disaster it's curtailed, the damage would have been done. The low cost of the extractors would bring this upside down situation that makes this exploitable by not just the rich 1% but the 10%. That is what you are not grasping.

Where have you been dude? You have just explained that loud and clear that SP sell is bad idea.

You mean the idea like fitting officer mods would bring you a victory? Very true statement.

your trolling level is around -5 with that terrible post. pay to win by definition is when you can pay to gain a clear advantage when in eve all you can do is pay to save time and still be terrible at the game. the fact that you mentioned a computer virus as your reference is just pretty terrible WoW is nothing more then a computer virus that should be whipped from existence. also your opinion does not count as proof of a pay to win option that does not exist and will not exist with this new addition nice try tho.

@ tiddle jr - I never said buying sp was a good idea :P but it hell it gives the rest of us delicious kill mails in the end

It is a serious mistake for anyone to equate the birth date of a player will skill points.

Unfortunately, I am a good example of such misguided thinking.

You are correct. But it does work in one direction at the moment, namely that a young player (for example) cannot fly a dictor. Anyway, uncertainty is good. A couple of weeks ago I lost a Magus to a Hecate plus a Curse (who was sneakily d-scan immune in a plex). I thought it was great. New mechanics which add surprise elements (thinking Command Destroyers) are positive for the game. It has become to algebraic with the outcome calculable before you even undock.

If CCP's willing to float Plex into the game to keep inflation under some sort of control, do you really think they won't float SP injectors in to keep the micro-transaction income in the black ink?

If I wanted to buy FaceBook tokens to fast repair my fleet in Battle Pirates, I'd still be playing frikken Battle Pirates, Not Eve Online.

The theory of a limited amount of SP to buy or sell is false. Who's sandbox are we playing in again?

If the SPs run low, CCP can with a click of a coding, create more out of TQ's thinning air with some alts for sale on the character bazaar to have their brain drain surgery.

Plex getting a little high on the inflation? No biggie, CCP alts can crank out a few dozen contracts at the price they want the market to re-balance to.

They want those Aurum packages to sell, since that is the one thing un-tradable in this whole cash grab scheme. First taste is free, just ask any successful dealer. So I shall pass on sampling the SP injector goods.

I Just Say No.

CCP has decided their outlook on their future as a gaming company (VR for the 1%, rest not worth the effort), their bogus call for 'feedback' on a decision already made and paid for in Aria cloud software, their silence on fulfilling a growing list of promises, and that it's jump on the $5 clicky bandwagon since it's good for us (them).

Someone in that glass tower might wanna scoop this sandbox. The kitty crunchies are piling up and it smells bad.

This nonsense is not what they are actually doing.

Is that mean if player B maxed his trading skills by injectors would also be outperformed by player A who trained all those in a standard manner?

In your example with Comets there is pretty clear that both have similar goals of being perfect Comet pilots if i got you right. And perfect means maxed all related skills. And this is why CCP is introducing this SP bazar. And here where the bullshit is hiden. New arrivals those who have no actual experience got false info and interpret SP purchase as a "golden ticket" to perfect conditions. I haven't found any words in Rise's thread where he mentioned that to newbies.
