Missions & Complexes

+1 douche for non-content

Now I have to answer to this. I was borex with eve once, was only logging for 10 minutes every 2 days and still making 1bil per month per char doing pI and trading. My point is, u dont need allmost any skills to make iskies in eve. And that way you can buy chat fast enough with skills you want. I see no need to add exp for certain activies.
There are tons of guides and spreadshies on internet to help you to be effcient!
AND like someone told real experience comes with learning tactis in eve (I know, lost billions last month learning wh zurvival basics:-)

sorry for mistakes, writing from phone:-D

I have typed a response to this thread at least 5 times already and every time I cancel the post.... I guess because I feel like I'm beating a dead horse by saying this is a bad idea. But you asked for comments so...

I have to agree that making a change like this for missions only would be extremely unfair. CCP would have to add skill point rewards for doing just about anything in the game in order to make it fair. Skill points per rat killed, complex completed, roid mined, etc., etc. That would turn EVE into every other MMO ever made, and that would really, really suck. I fail to see the benefit in ruining one of the more unique aspects of EVE.

... and no, that wasn't a good troll. Back to Troll Detection Class for you!

the oldschool superbillion SP club wont ever let this pass ... they want to keep their advantage as it is.

In a way its annoying that your activity level in the game doesent help your skill points gathering in anyway.

I've been wanting to post something here since yesterday when I first read found this topic just haven't had the time to put a post together that didn't make me sound like narrow minded nay sayer regarding this particular suggestion, anyway here goes.

One of the basic mechanics used in any rpg is the concept of making your character grow more powerful (evolve) over time. In eve this evolution mechanic is designed in such a way that is requires very very little interaction between the player and the actual game, it's a simple case of deciding what skill you want to train and dropping it at the top of your skill queue and the rest happens automatically. As with all rpgs there are factors that affect the speed at which this evolution occurs but at the end of the day there is a limit to how many of these skill points can be obtain over a given period of time. The Limit for eve is 2700 skill points per hour which translates to 64800 per day.

Now it seems to me one of the intentions behind the OP's suggestion is to introduce a way to increase this limit above the current maximum based on the amount of time a player spends interacting with the game in a specific way. The only real effect this will have is the number of skill points obtainable on a given day will be 64800 from passive training + whatever is achievable by running missions. If ccp were to agree that the current maximum daily limit is too low they could quite easily just increase the passive hourly gain from 2700 to whatever they feel is more appropriate. Now lets assume ccp know what they are doing and indeed want 64800 to be the maximum achievable in a given day then in order to allow for sp rewards from missions or any other ingame activity they would have to reduce the passive sp gains accordingly. Then it needs to be decided if they want the maximum to be achieved by spending all 23.5 hours the server is online by performing the chosen activity or if they want to allow players to gain the skill points in only a few hours and cap it off at the chosen limit.

At the end of the day each active eve account has the same potential for gaining skill points as every other (old and new alike) and no matter what system is used there will always be a limit to how many skill points one can obtain in any given period of time. The idea of changing the current system to negatively affect people who spend less time per day/week playing eve and create the illusion of benefitting those who play more doesn't really seem to me like it will improve the game in any way.

First of all.
My drones can take out a frigate. And my avatar is a bit older then 1 month.

So I will see it as a terrible thing if you get SP from missions.
What you earn from playing is that the other pilots will recognise you. Even if you are not able to fly a navy something with T2 fit, you are still able to do something with others, like pvp og null-sec mining.

Also EVE is not about grinding. But taking your time. Yes. It takes sometime to be able to fly the ship you want to fly.
But even a decent fit is great if used the right way.

HARE-BRAINED and USELESS idea.

This will be SOOOOO abused.

Skillpoints have gotten enough LOVE. Folks don't even have to deal with Learning Skills anymore.

One huge gignormous NO to this. Kill it at once.

And boredom relief as an excuse for this ? Oh Lord this is so wrong.....................

You put WAY too much thought into this nonsense. Just had to say : tl;dr.

+1 because I agree with basis - but - as with Ynot Eyob and someone else (sorry, can't remember your name!), I think this would be awesome IF LIMITED TO NEW PLAYERS. Isn't the point of new players to prolong the games life? They'll learn soon enough not to expect "free" skill points... but the boost to the fun factor would help retain some I think.

The difference is that I actually try and contribute. Your moronic "contributions" really don't count.
