After playing Eve for awhile and other games Eve has stood out with its Skill train way... other games you kill something you get EXP ((experience points)) and that allows skills to level, here yah just wait... could it get anymore boring? Yes Mine? PVE? PVP? but there is a line where Making Isk and losing isk gets boring... How about work for something worth more.... something we all want.. SKILL POINTS

Angents reward Loyalty points some dont, couldnt CCP make ones the reward Skill points? not rediculous amounts but a reasnoble amount. like

Level 1 missions Range From 0-100 SP
Level 2 Missions Range From 101-200SP
Level 3 Missions Range From 201-300SP
Level 4 Missions Range From 301-400SP
and
Level 5 Missions Range From 401-500SP

Im not sure if someone has tried to sugest and idea like this before or not...
this would Promote missions alot more... added we get abit of ISK as well with the Reward... And even have a choice to have a LP reward OR SP Reward..

I know i would be doing Missions that rewarded like that, Instead of just waiting 30+days with lvl 4 Inplants to train a skill and it wouldnt detour new gamers from playing this game if they found out there was also a quick way to train skills...

CCP you guys would be making a killing off this game cause for some reason i love it i have 4 accounts on here of my own.. and im slowly getting bored of the game because im sick of making isk and losing it.... waiting to long to try out a new mod or ship cause i have to wait almost 2-3 months to fly it properly... If anyone else can sugest/argue to my idea go ahead.. end of the day its just a sugestion to Promote missioning and game play.

Good luck. I have no suggestion or argument, except that this will never happen.

One can only try. CCP doesnt have to do it like that but with in reason of something like that.. CCP needs to give something other then just ISK and LP To work for... its starting become abit boring now...

Getting something more than ISK and LP won't fix boredom. They would need to rework how missions are done to fix that.

Frequently. Usually in the Skills subforum where it invariably meets a fiery demise.

Linking gameplay to SP is anathema to everything that makes EVE unique. Specifically linking missions to SP is particularly bad in a self-described PvP-driven game. Why, pray tell, should mission runners get something extra and unique for grinding L4s with little to no risk -- to keep them doing it?

Well its more to the point that i think SP would be more value to people and, it'd help people skill train somewhat faster and spend a month PVPing/ratting/Missioning/Mining With there new ships and test out there new skills quiker... and it wouldnt to much more boring,

Whats stoping a pvper from running missions? I pvp myself and i still have the time to run missions because well i need the isk somehow to pay for lost ships... i also mine if i feel like it...
If your pvper that holds Pods for ransom get your isk and have no need to do missions. well not anyone problem but yours..
Everyone can it its availble to everyone and CCP could make a reason to put a risk behind the mission so its not as easy as it looks to complete it....

Even another sugestion came to mind where pvpers kill someone with out an updated Clone get there SP thats lost split amongst there fleet... yes another bad sugestion.. but then your gonna go on about miners.. they sit for hours on end making isk no need to go missioning, again.. missioning is available TO EVERYONE whether you chose to do it or not is your problem...

That is the way i see it..

This seems like a bad idea. Why not give miners skill points for mining ore? How about PI people for doing PI? PVPers for killing other players? Belt ratters for belt ratting? Do you see where this is going? EVE has a skill queue for a reason; it's to prevent this sort of thing from happening.

Missions already have substantial rewards in the form of isk, salvage and LP. EVE is not McDonald's.

This is one of those times when it IS appropriate to tell the OP to 'go back to WoW.

Doing this would destroy Eve. I've got better things to do than farm XP.

Right now, EvE is different from all those other so-called MMO's, because there is no level grind.

Awarding SP for Missions or whatever, would make EvE exactly the same as those other so-called MMO's.

And me having tried LotRO, I'd want to avoid that at all costs. Level Grind is boring as ****, so I honestly don't see how that would solve your problem of boredom.

So basically, you're doing it wrong and EvE might not be for you. WoW, LotRO and all that generic crap is that way. --->

Patience is a virtue and we don't need or want any aspect of EVE to be dumbed down. If EVE is boring for you please go and do something else.

Hmm I thought EvE giving you only moderate ISK and LP from L4s is because they encourage you to do other things than grind missions.

So why asking them to do the opposite?

Skill points are per how old your character is, not how much free time you have to play 15 hours a day.
That will make this game utterly silly, finding just a couple of months old characters having tens of millions of skill points.

Not that I complain about having 100 million SP in 2 months and able to max every skills I want, but it will completely kill the "epicness" feel of the game.

Dear OP,

It's not CCP's fault you are bored with EVE, it's your lack of creativity. Missions weren't designed to entertain players for the lifespan of their character. Move on to greater things. EVE......is......a......sandbox. Go play
