Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

With more SP coming through more avenues, injector prices will adjust accordingly. The market price on a brand new item is not very ideal to base a long term metric off of. PLEX is an astounding example of that but that's an entirely different can of worms.

Serious question CCP; are you high?

Ok..

Can we presume that this is for subbed accounts only? Yes it should be obvious but it hasn't been asked yet.

It shouldn't be for every character per account, maybe have it in the redeemable items list so you can choose which one would get it would be better.

It should never be pvp based, not everyone can pvp, everyone can pve. (you know what I mean)

Hunting around for specific rats would be a pain in the arse, make it any npc, belt, mission, anom regardless of what space you live in.

As long as extractors, plex, and subscriptions all have a real world value, their value relative to each other will stay similar.

Unless of course CCP starts handing out free SP every day.

Good to hear. Some of us have asking for this for years--better incentives to actually play the game, instead of logging in and queuing up a long skill and just forgetting about the game for a month. This also provides a catch up mechanic outside of the bazaar and injectors, which is great. The best thing about this is that, it's not punitive to those that don't like or agree with it, in that they'll still be able to gain SP at the same rate as before, if they don't want to log in. My hope is that this will be expanded into all other areas of the game, such as PvP, exploration etc.

Well if the game interface was polished enough to make even the simplest of those things enjoyable, this might be the case. But until Eve comes out of Beta, which will prolly come soon, I'm really happy to be able to get rid of tedious workarounds like start/stopping training queues, using evemon, switching chars, etc. .

Please no daily quests. Or daily login rewards or whatever daily mechanic you can steal from generic mmos.

A beauty of EvE always was that it lacked those silly little tricks trying to force you to log in or do menial tasks you don't care about. Don't throw that away.

As a relatively new player (10.5m SP) that is severely frustrated at the amount of time and sub it takes to pilot even the simplest of ships effectively (just getting into solo-pvp in something like a Hawk takes 60+days with "recommended" skills, fitting skills like weapon upgrades etc at 4 and not 5) even I detest this ridiculous mechanic.

While I would definitely like for my Weapon Upgrades 5, Caldari Cruiser 5 etc to finally finish so I can actually have some fun already I would prefer a more elegant solution than just handing out 10k SP for free just because you log in every day.
While this system would mean that new players would thrive and essentially just have more fun as a whole and thus feel more inclined to actually sub once their free month runs out, the people who have already played the game for years and are essentially its backbone and the substance that makes it what it is are getting stabbed in the back by this I would think.

Thousands of people injecting 10k SP every single day adds up to billions of magical SP appearing out of nowhere in a relatively short time frame.

Please give me and other newbros free skill points CCP, but not this way.

And when you log in 2 hour late because you needed to stay late at school/work, your schedule with be screwed, and then you will feel like ****.

I think it is a huge mistake to offer skill points for any activity in game. I think it is an even bigger mistake to offer them as rewards for PVE content, in a game where the PVE content is probably its least recommendable feature and something a significant portion of the playerbase does not like to participate in.

I do think it is a decent idea to offer certain rewards for logging in or performing some activity every so often, and when this feature was first announced way back in a previous fanfest the rewards discussed were things like standings increases or LP. I would much prefer a different kind of reward for “Dailies.”

This also biases skill training against players who cannot log in very frequently. One of the major selling points of EVE for some players is that it does not have a grind necessary to keep competitive with other players requiring you to log in or complete certain activities on a daily or weekly basis. Many of EVE's players are older professionals who cannot log in every day, and the fact that you don't lose anything but not logging in every day is part of the attraction of the game (e.g., some people leave EVE during deployment in the services and are not able to activity log in--now they would be missing out on literally millions of skill points). This change is a big step toward removing that accessibility for older or busier players.

Also in a dev blog just a few weeks ago CCP said "we make sure there is one single mechanism that brings new skillpoints in to the system – training." A few weeks later and they've decided otherwise? Or were they just lying when they wrote this, knowing they would be implementing another way to gain SP?
