Skill Discussions

Absolutely not. In my eyes you reached that top first

I can see skill injectors going into a fierce price war as more and more of them are on the market and compete with each other, but I got no use for them as most of the skills I wanted maxed out are already done.....Hitting 270 million SP and done the natural way....



Skill injectors in game = using steroids in real life.....

Someone was bound to do it..

Does he have all the rare/discontinued skills too? I can't recall what is/is not still out there...

Dr Caymus im playing since 2004/04 and in my eyes you still are the reigning SP champ, you made it that far oldschool style, not like the wannabees, buying themselves into it, so sir you have my respect.

Myself i have 236m SP, and i worked hard to achieve that, nevertheless all undone now with some people playing with their credit card.

The true essence of this game is lost, im gonna have a hard time staying around trying to convince myself to keep playing, not sure if i can hold on till the summer.

Any other sci fi mmos recommended ? :)

He didn't pay a cent IRL, he is the guy who runs iwantisk

I feel for you. I was using my main here to complete individual skill categories. I'll definitely keep plugging on that, but I don't think it is going to be quite the obsession that it was for me prior to skill injections. In fact, I may actually buy some injectors with my idle ISK, just to speed some of the lower skills along.

To have fun, pvp an be among the best.

Nuff said.

2 times 20m SP = 40m
x 4 = 80m SP
x 5 = 100m SP
x 10 = 200m SP
x 20 = 400m SP
x 22 = 440m SP

I'm at 185m sp with my other (original) char a bit less, and I'll continue to pay my two subs and enjoy the game, on and off, as I have since 2008.

No amount of other players' shenanigans are going to stop me from playing. The rich & powerful have always been able to take shortcuts because we let them, and because CCP remain true to the free market principle while ever dreaming up new ways to earn r/l income.

As an older player the likes of Dr C, Chribba et al are all names whose fame (or notoriety) will never diminish, simply because they've achieved their popularity through solid effort (or plain sneakiness).

A few people jumping the skill queue is like someone jumping a British bus queue. There's some muttering, maybe a few hard stares, then everyone gets on the double decker anyway and the incident blows over given time. And those who queued in the proper manner can remain righteous.

Legal exploitation is a feature of Eve that will never go away, and although sometimes it's a bit hard to swallow, I console myself with the reminder that if Eve wasn't the unforgiving sandbox that it's always been.. well then 90% of its rich, varied and often outrageous history would never have existed.

yes there are several players I have heard of, 1 being dropped 22k in credit cards to max out, others had so much isk from numerous venues of market manipulation/scamming/isboxing/running empire have also maxed.

while people make the comparison of skills don't mean anything also don't see if you have been training those skills and know nothing has only gotten worse in having skills and still knowing nothing.

then you have the people that's been playing and building the isk and spent it that know how to play now have an advantage.

but yes the number of people being MAX trained is increasing if not them just maxing the combat skills they want to go out and pvp with
