EVE Information Portal

You dont seem to be a person who knows the lenghts nerdy gamers who dont leave home and earn a lot doing IT stuff are capable of doing with money they dont spend on weekends at the beach ... do you ?

Your killmails will stop the moment people like me have the oportunity to amass 20 ships with full skill to face anything you bring. You will see the game soon disfavor you when people with skill and no clue start receiving buffs and skilled people start to being nerfet until flatline gaming removes ingame skill and IRL skill to a narrow level.

That is simple causality. Once you have no more limits to content people can jump into without learning, you have to flatline everyone to cookie cutter. That is essentially how WoW, GW and most NCSoft games are the way they are today.

you're meant to call it nonsense by dismissing i with facts.

let me give you an example; "it's bad because it's bypassing mechanics" - dismissed with the obvious; we've been doing it for ages with the character bazzar.

now, have another go. i know you can do this, i have faith in you.

Those "arbitrary restrictions" are called "the spirit of the game". Having spaceships instead of elves is an arbitrary restriction too.

CCP promised us that beyond necessary evils like PLEX and the Character Bazaar we would NEVER be able to use real life money to gain advantage in EVE Online. Being able to stuff the characters I use with SP (-minus whatever shrinkage they implement) from characters i don't use (5 of my character see little use currently) is going back on that promise made after Monoclegate.

Instead of having to THINK about what I want to train on an upcoming character (like last night trying to decide if I wanted to spend 8 days getting a toon into a Svipul of keep on with the 8 days to tech2 medium beams so that toon could fly in Phantasm Fleets), it's just whip out the old credit card and have it all RIGHT NOW (for less than i would spend in the current Character Bazaar).

EVE should never cater to such instant gratification instincts.

New players don't buy characters from the bazaar? Really?

Older players >50m see diminishing returns with this mechanic. With the AUR cost it's not worth doing.

Then you aren't reading Tip's posts critically.

Jenn, explain to me very specifically how this mechanic adds a pay to win vector that buying a perfect Svipul pilot from Character Bazaar doesn't already offer.

Edit: Where did you get that it's less than Character Bazaar?

And then i challenge you to find 300mil sp char now and you cannot find it. Yet with this "feature" it will be doable. But then you skip to commenting that SP does not matter which is not related to original argument at all. And so you just keep taking one sentence out of context and keep changing subject every time you cannot come up with and argument for a challenge. Why are you surprised then, when i treat you as troll?

You have spammed this thread a lot, yet I do not think you made a single proper counter argument to solid arguments which are done here. SO enjoy your troll treatment.

Not everyone agrees with that assumption or there wouldn't be 90+ pages of paying subscribers saying "NO".

The choices you made during skill training are a permanent mark on the character and should be.

Eve is NOT just about blowing things up. There's trade and community and capability is part of building the community.

As it stands your kill count will become the new demarcation of maturity and activity in the game. That's not a good thing, because there's so many other things you can accomplish in game that aren't tracked.

you know ccp looking at this thread and thinking about the vets saying we can just rinse our alts of sp and apply to our main, CCP: "yes this is working they are all talking about rinsing alts, they have to buy aurum to do that, op success"

try reading the devblog.

it clearly states it favours younger players.

the diminishing returns are to protect the prestige, which does not mean anything as it cannot be protected if someone really wants to drop cash to do it. So that protection is fake, it is just more expensive to reach that prestige.

don`t let facts get in the way of your quoting though - ah you are not operating with any facts anyway, i do not have to finish this one :)
