Can we just get to the part where we can buy skillpoints already?

Seriously.. let me remap my skills for like 20$ or buy a few million SP or something. Its gonna happen sooner or later, and I'd just like it to happen sooner.



No, I do not want to buy your crappy recycled character with a sh**ty track/employment record and even worse name.

No, NO!! NOOOOO!!!

A large part of the Eve experience - to me - is the involvement in training skills.
You start buying skill points then Eve becomes pointless,
You work hard, play hard and reap the rewards.
Being able to buy skillpoints would dilute all of that.

Totally stupid suggestion, Mr. Op, and this thread should go in to the "Totally Stupid Ideas" Thread posted under "Nihillum".

NO!

Sitting back and letting the game train skills isn't exactly hard work if you ask me.

Now learning the systems, why certain ships work better than others, what ammo to use, etc, etc, etc is hard work and wil reap rewards.

Do you realize how stupid you sound considering "character bazaar" and "timecode bazaar" ? The only difference with my proposal is being able to skill up my character as opposed to using someone else's leftovers.

Or how about this... Name change for aurum!

You buy a character off of the bazaar, find it's got a crappy name and a worse reputation. Give ISK/PLEX, bam, new name.

Keep on trying to rationlise your desire, matters not to me.

However, if you were punting the ability to "buy" faction standings, then I'll back you Cool

Its unfortunate but you are probobly right about it. When it does, I'm out.

The reality of Eve is that, if you don't love it like it is today, you should probobly go ahead and unsub.

As long as a history tab kept a record of previous names, I'd be up for this method.

Got to love retards who don't want to play the game the way it was designed and how everyone else does.

I know I'll just buy myself where I want to go....

Before i tell you gtfo lemme explain

with the character bazar you can choose from various characters non of them would be perfect, especially with the prices for them...

If you are able to by lets say 2 mil sp, this cuts down 1 month of training and you can distribute them how you want.

So... GTFO

Ooooh... just figured out a name for Hilmar's next private jet! "Hilmar's Greed"!

You all know that $->SP will be implemented sooner or later... if EVE is going to be sacrificed on the altar to Hilmar's Greed, I'd like to have it done and over with, rather than the slow painful death of gradual neglect that we have been seeing.

edit: if you couldn't tell by my post, I'm against $->SP but I'm even more against bad soap operas such as the one the development of EVE has turned into.
