Like SP buffs for money/plex or bonus remaps for money/plex


Or race/bloodline/gender change for money/plex.


People want these things and they have money to throw at you for providing it so why not?


Say a 100% SP gain buff for 30 days that cost 2 plex. You can't even argue that it causes any form of imbalance because you can already spend money on plexes. Plexes for isk and then use the isk to buy any 200 million SP character of your choice on the bazaar.


I'd even argue in favour of name changes for money/plex. People argue that a characters history is important in Eve. So add a big red line of text in the employment history that says "Changed name from X to X"

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

Because most, if not all of them are game-breakingly bad ideas.

Because when they even suggested it, it leaked, and thousands and thousands of players ragequit and almost bankrupted the company.

I am sure if they added pay to win like a SP boost they would be haemorrhaging money within a month and go bankrupt three months later.

Pay for vanity, alright, knock yourself out and have fun with it.

There is a massive difference between people buying high SP chars on the bazaar and devaluing SP by adding boosters.
What a stupid comparison. -.-

How so? How is 40 million SP in a year game breaking but 200 million SP in a day not?

Ill tell the OP this;

While this thread is fail, they have really gone out of their way to make a hellacreepy avatar.

Seriously, its like what if Pinocchio had been created in 1936 and Mr Geppetto got a visit from Mr Gestapo shortly after the puppet learned to use the telephone

its like the anti-Golem or something

Because it didn't take a day to create a 200mil SP character to sell on the Bazaar. Someone still had to train that 200mil SP toon for it to be sold and bought.

Imagine how much more gamebreaking it would be if that 200mil SP toon took less than half the time because someone with money just used PLEX to boost it.

Yes you can argue against it... Characters you buy have set skills, not chosen by you. They also have a post on the forums that shows they were bought. You want all the best combined with buying skills. Double skillpoint gain is bad.

So as long as there is a limited amount of pay to win its ok.
