EVE Information Portal

The hypocrisy of some people here is staggering, if there is no difference between advancing using any current in game / bazaar methods, the end goal is to help all including the new players then its quite simple.

To remove it from internal manipulation from anyone in game.

CCP to sell it for aurum in the store so current people can buy with isk and to be sold on the website where the plex are sold so that anyone with cash or new players that want to advance but have no in game currency. It will still have its depreciation scale.

Anyone can look at it how they like whether it be pay2progress or pay2win. If its done this way there is no downside except its another MT added, it cannot be manipulated at all , its totally accessible to all worry free.

EDIT: To any that say about CCP getting skillpoints from thin air, The mechanism to allow this to be done is from thin air as anything from the NEX store is from thin air - Its not seeded in game cannot be farm for, so by far the lesser of the 2 evils if it cannot be manipulated.

It's been growing all this time, right up to the point where CCP decided to focus less on PVP.

About as dumb as imagining everybody who wants to do any of the things you listed will be able to afford the time or money to do so, especially new players.

Mr. Date of Birth: 2007-10-31 you know so much about problems of newbies.

as hes that old i assume he knows alot of the problems of newbies.

What are concerns of grandma about you? Does she know about that you against new change in EVE?

You do have to forgive the resident troll with his less than intelligent statements, He thinks that everyone above 50 mill skillpoints was granted them from the jovian's ........ Only the new batch of new players have it harsh

How is that remotely a legitimate argument? Implants already create exactly this, it is in game already and has been for years, same goes with skill book purchases. People can already speed thier skill progression through Rl cash, has been that way ever since Plex were introduced.

Your argument is basically that aspiration is a terrible thing that somehow makes people stop trying, pretty much the opposite of what most of human existence proves. For some reason the possibility of speeding your skill progression by playing the game will put people off playing the game? Wtf nonsense is that?

And who are they "keeping up with"? What difference is there that somebody who started same day as me uses his bought isk to buy 500k sp instead of a set of plus fives? Plex being available to isk has already put player progression in the world of rl money.

Do I think there should be limits to prevent the few super rich (whether rl or in game) swallowing up all the excess sp? definately. Put a limit on how many TSP a character can add in a month (i would say 10 but maybe less would work), put a hardcap on skills (i woud put it at the maximum possible sp anyone playing from day 1 could have). Nobody who wants the system to just help give their friends a start, respec thier chars or transfer sp from a main to an alt would have a problem with any of those. Older players could only at most speed thier progression by around 30%, no matter how rich they are. There would be restricted demand so prices would remain low and find an equilibrium (if there is no limit you would see everybody dump their unwanted sp day 1 and prices would rise constantly after that)

These null sec pilots who are supposedly the ones getting the massive advantage? That will be the day.

I have to admit that I'm not quite this fired up anymore, but I still think this is a bad idea. For a lot of the reasons stated by others who also don't like it. I know there are arguments from the in-favor side and I am not saying their arguments are illogical or otherwise don't hold water. However when it comes to what I want from a game and game design priorities(especially for MMOs) the pro arguments fall under the con arguments in priority/preference.
