sooner i can use the sentries on my Stratios the better, 10 day waiting time at the moment.
Plus i've got an old character who could use a reshuffle for SP.

Only ten more days wait..?? WTF..?? I have trained many skills that took over a month, why is it so hard to just wait like everybody else did before you..??

Instant gratification kiddies will be the reasoning behind this games demise, that and CCPs greed to fund other projects before Eve finally dies a horribly embarrassing death.

The huge influx of RL money CCP is going to be making off of this embarrassment is going to be monumental, I can't see a reason why they would not make the tiny step towards full pay to win withing the next few years since buying skills will obviously be a huge financial success, most likely right before this game goes completely WoW kiddie friendly will be my guess.

Was fun while it lasted though, was by far the best MMO ever.

never played WoW, but considering WoW is very successful. I don't see how being like WoW is a bad thing.

I like to play, i dislike waiting. If theres something I can do in game to speed up the training time, i do it as its a way to play.

When theres nothing i can do to speed it up through playing, it feels like i'm paying for the privilege of waiting. Is it that surprising i've played since 2010 and yet haven't been subbed for all of 2011,2012, most of 2013, and just returned in 2016. I pay to play, not to wait.



They discussed this when they considered a daily mission reward system. Where your first agent mission gives bonus rewards.
No idea if thats still on the board, but it encouraged logging in to play more often, rather than subscribe and leave for a few months.

Trading raw unallocated skillpoints, regardless of the diminshing returns, is an absolutely terrible idea and should never happen. There is no way this should be acceptable. I'm not going to say "worst idea ever" or anything like that, because there can always be a worse idea... but this is close. It was bad enough when the implication was that it would be specific skills being transferred and not unallocated SP.

How has this gained so much support? Terrible idea with too much room for abuse. Please, PLEASE, do not implement this.

Called it :D Obvious tactics are obvious.

Worse thing about this is you can take 500K SP from any skill. some of the long level 5 skills only able to take 500K bring that skill down to level 4. but if your passed 80Mill SP you only getting 150K SP back it takes more SP from you and you are like loosing SP
bit harsh on the old Vets or people passed 80Mill SP bit unfair very greedy from CCP

Patch Notes for February 2016 Release
2016-02-05 10:11
Patch Notes for February 2016 Release 1.0
Released on Tuesday, February 9th, 2016

FEATURES & CHANGES :

Skill Trading:


Summary: It will now be possible for players to trade skill points between each other on the in-game market using two new items, the ‘Skill Extractor’ and ‘Skill Injector’. For a detailed overview of the feature please take a look at these two dev blogs: Exploring the Character Bazaar and Skill Trading, and Skill Trading in New Eden.

New Items: Skill Extractor and Skill Injector

Skill Extractor
• Skill Extractors are purchased from the new Eden Store for Aurum.
• Skill Extractors can be bought and sold in the in-game market. They are listed under ‘Pilot’s Services’.
• By consuming a Skill Extractor and extracting 500,000 Skill Points from previously trained skills, players can create a Skill Injector.
• There are a number of restrictions to the use of Skill Extractors: ◦ Skill Extractors may be only activated if the client was started using the fully supported game launcher. This is to ensure two-factor authentication support for skill trading.
◦ Characters must be docked and have no active ship.
◦ Characters must have more than 5,500,000 trained skill points.
◦ Skills which are a prerequisite of another trained skill cannot be extracted. (Note here that you can extract if all dependent skills have been extracted first)
◦ The following skills can not be extracted: ◾ Infomorph Psychology
◾ Advanced Infomorph Psychology
◾ Cybernetics
◾ Command Center Upgrade
◾ Interplanetary Consolidation



Skill Injector
• Skill Injectors can be bought and sold in the in-game market. They are listed under ‘Pilot’s Services’.
• Skill Injectors can be consumed by a character to add unallocated skill points in to a characters skill point pool. ◦ These skill points can be distributed immediately, but will stay in the pool indefinitely if not used.
◦ The amount of skill points granted by Skill Injectors varies based on the total skill points trained previously on the character using the injector, according to the following scale: ◾ Less than 5,000,000 skill points trained -> 500,000 unallocated SP injected
◾ 5,000,000 - 50,000,000 skill points trained -> 400,000 unallocated SP injected
◾ 50,000,000 - 80,000,000 skill points trained -> 300,000 unallocated SP injected
◾ 80,000,000 or greater skill points trained -> 150,000 unallocated SP injected

◦ The amount of skill points you will receive per injector will be highlighted for you in the show info page for the Skill Injector item.


In conjunction with the Skill Trading feature, we’ve made a number of changes and improvements to skill book injection and the training queue, specifically:
• Skills can now be injected at any time, regardless of requirements.
• To begin training a skill, you must now either meet all prerequisites for the skill or have at least 1 skillpoint already trained in that skill.
• Skills with untrained prerequisites can now be added to the queue if they come after prerequisite training.
• Unallocated skillpoints can now be applied to your training queue.

I wonder if CCP are going to reduce the subscription Or Monthly Subscription as we are getting Ripped off With SP Skill Trading


The investment of money in EVE should not give you an unfair advantage over the investment of time.

I wonder if now the people who were claiming that this will be great for newbies and all us bitter old vets were just complaining for nothing still think this is going to help newbies.

Malcanis's Law comes to mind.
