EVE General Discussion

There's no reason why the extractors should be expensive. Anything over 500 AUR each would be laughable. If you want to siphon SP from one character to another you're already taking quite a hit in SP loss, assuming the recipient is over 5M SP.

my guess would be a plex buys 2 completed skill packets. which would likely price the skill extractors around 200-300mil, no idea how much aur that is, I've never dealt in the stuff and have no plans to.

Got news for you all. Whether the extractors are $2.50, $5 or $10 you will buy them.

You will buy them with Aur, or you will buy them with isk but you will buy them.

You will buy them with joy or you will buy them with furious rage and many tears...but you WILL buy them. Hahahaha

No, not necessarily. Most of my characters are fairly high in SP. I wont need an extractor nor an injector.

CCP - finally disclose this price!!!

Well, tourny players will have a stash of these for sure just for that reason. Also, keep in mind that to my understanding, an injector is spawned when the player uses the extractor, so depending on how things go you may only have to pay for the extractor anyways, unless you intend to "buy" SP rather than simply moving some of it around. Personally, I'm planning on doing the same thing as you to gut some unused and obsolete skills to tidy up things, only I'll either dump the injector juice someplace else useful or throw them on the market to get some ISK back.

And my vote is between 1/2 to a full PLEX in AUR. I don't think CCP will (or rather should) aim to overprice them since, unlike any of the purely cosmetic product of the past that people have already listed off as example, these actually have a functioning value in game and it would be detrimental to younger players -- the so-called target audience -- who might not have super rich wallets to make it so expensive that only older players can afford to use that service. Pants and ship SKIN's are one thing, they don't impact game play just because you have them or don't. Skill packets are a bit different since they effect a core game play system. Time will tell, I suppose.

The price will certainly determine the number of extractors I will buy. Even if this were the only consideration of CCP, how to milk most real cash out of the player base with this is not such an easy question to answer. I'm sure though that a very high price is not the best for that. Furthermore, even if one is totally cynic about CCP, it is far from clear that this is their only consideration. The game is very "top heavy", reducing this (depleting the mountain of SP that older players have heaped up) might be a major motivation for CCP. That will also translate into money, but down the line and by improved health of the game long term, not by direct sales of extractors now.

Mining on my main is not enough to fill an SP extractor...so nope, not even then unless there is another junk skill I want to get rid of.

Still, if the price is half a PLEX, not even worth it. Ever. Because I don't see the long run price of a SP injector to rise much above 1/3rd the price of a PLEX.

The players are giving too much information to CPP with their coments because the extractors have no value in themselves. From my point of view 5-8 dollars price is crazy and many players agree with those prices (oficial forums and reddit). If the extractor item is expensive, the objective of its implementation (improve and create content) will not be reached because most people could not afford.

Well, i'm an idealist .With a balanced decision by CCP the player numbers will go up, the content too and CCP will make money for many more years. With high prices the global impact of this deep change in the game will be almost nonexistent and all of us, players and CCP, will have missed a great opportunity.
