Tier type Injectors?

So yea, I like this skill injector thing but what's up with the fixed amount? Why not provide maybe three tiers of injectors for those wishing to inject a smaller amount of points like 50,000 or 100,000. The current set amounts aren't really helpful for new players and the isk cost associated with them. How many new players reach 600 million in the first 6 months of playing?

if you can't afford it, then don't use it.

Injectors and extractors arent really to benefit grinders, lets be honest they were release to encourage people to buy more plex/aurum

Calm down miner. As you pointed out, people think they can get away with stuff they would not in rl... Like for example illegal mining... - Ima Wreckyou*

Your experience would be non-standard. Most rookies, myself included, take a while to even figure out the game, much less be masters of earning ISK. If you had a veteran helping you, and no desire to actually figure out what is going on with the game, or were some savant at understanding complicated mechanisms, then yeah, a billion ISK a day is certainly reachable...

The second comment is probably closer to the truth on CCP intent, but several reasons are likely behind the drive to injectors.

As to the concept of creating tiers, it wouldn't matter one way or the other. The market would just balance out slightly differently with little effect on the game.

As newcomers to the game, you should be worrying less about your skill training and more about your personal ability training. It would likely be better spent getting into a Corp than can help you along and maybe even help getting you an injector for SP's if they think you are ready for it.

Injectors aren't for shiny newbies, they are for ones ready to move into the 'experienced' group and need to catch up or for vets wanting the adjust things around or make some ISK off of dead SP's.

Sorry, this feature is not intended for new players. That's just something everyone says including CCP to win some sympathy of clueless people for a stupid feature no one can support with a real argument.

Oh, a REAL argument is required, then? Guess we meet at fanfest and argue for REAL then, maybe even start a REAL fight. Cause everything that's argued on the forums is fake, obviously.

I thought about this as well. Introducing smaller injectors will improve SP liquidity. Let the markets be free!

I really like injectors \extractors.

they allow me to train into experimental stuff and if I screw up I can re allocate.
then to gain lost SP via the tiercide just get injector on market.
