Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

I hate this idea so much.

Eve is wonderful because it doesn't matter when you log in, or if you have to AFK for a day or month, but this punishes that idea way too hard.

Please do not go down this road CCP.

Bad idea. Unless you're going to do it for every trade/profession. Even then it's still terrible.

I'm not sure I like the idea in general, but if you're going to do it, you should include pvp activity and not just rat killing. Being in space shooting other players should be at least as valuable as shooting a random rat.

This is also punitive, as others have mentioned, to characters whose purpose has nothing to do with shooting anything at all. Scouts, logistics, freighters, etc. It's pretty silly to do this for PVE activities only and not other things - either do it right, as a complete range of bonuses for a range of activities or not at all.

Uh... say what now?

Much like everyone else, I think this is a pretty bad and desperate idea.

Once again, i'm sure the negative feedback won't be at all listened to.

I'm going to give this "feature" a thumbs down.

CCP isn't taking away passive SP. You can go AFK and still come back to something. Having come to Eve through Dust, I'm perfectly conditioned to both active and passive system (they had a daily mission system there too). Unlike, Dust, you can buy skill injectors off other players at will.

wow

no

So I log in my character(s), fly to an asteroid belt, pop one NPC frigate, fly back, log out - the game got better for whom how now?!

It will be somewhat amusing, I guess, to see the server load from thousands upon thousands of Jita-based players jumping to the nearest asteroid belts and back, day after day... Will people form orderly queues in the belts waiting for NPC spawns? I'm guessing we will see discussions on what ship and fit will allow for the fastest and safest "undock from Jita - find NPC - pop it - return to Jita" turnaround.

As much as I hunger for SP as newish player (injector donations welcome...), making the grind specific is just a bad idea. Right now, I can do whatever I want to do in EVE to get SP, as long as it earns me ISK. Because as soon as I hit 630M or thereabouts, I can buy a skill injector.

The route to SP via ISK also provides a natural evaluation of how valuable to the rest of the game my activity is. As it turns out, killing a belt rat is not something anybody gives a rat's ass about. Let's say killing a rat give me about 25k ISK (bounty, loot, salvage). I will need to kill over 25,000 rats then to afford a skill injector. If I am a new player, I would get 500,000 SP from injecting. So a single rat kill is worth less than 20 SP... Better find something more profitable to do in EVe. And that's how it should be.

At the very least if you decide to go forth with this project, why not 30 000 sp per day for the first three NPC kills on the ACCOUNT, instead of 10 000 sp per CHARACTER?

Dailies are already a pain, but having to cycle through your characters makes this go way over the top.
