The AUR price is ruinously low. The majority of SP extraction will be currently unneeded SP and it will be sold no matter how little profit is in it, making the injectors little more expensive than extractors long term. The bulk price of 800 AUR/extractor means that with the low margin on injectors, buying injectors is not only faster than buying multiple pilot training certificates, it's cheaper too. The long term effects of this on CCP's revenue and the health of the game will be disastrous, you need to double the AUR price.

Well, this needs to be paid attention to

Im still not sure what the difference between this or buying a character off the bazaar. Either way it is a way to convert real money to game power. Still doesnt change the fact that a crappy pilot is still a crappy pilot and wont last very long in game.

OUCH, the cost of an Skill Extractor is about 300 mil ISK. I guess the injectors will be around the 700 mil ISK price. A bit expensive for gaining 10 days of training.

Its not Haters mate, after 11 years you get to see when one of the CCP dudes decides to have one of these HUGE brain fart moments and they release information then stay totally silent on certain important details of said eureka moment. It becomes a please realize what your doing .... not !!!

Instead of just biting the bullet and selling them to everyone for a set fee you get this convoluted crap that now the price has been released a few days before it goes live all those poor sods who were hailing it as the second coming of EvE have realized they've been conned again.

Well played Rise, Maybe the masses would be better to remember next time - Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me

Basically what they are saying is PLEX is going up to 2 bil soon and toons sold on the Bazaar should go up in price as well. The Bazaar is way underpriced.

They say you can't polish a turd but you really can...of course, that means you just end up with a shiny turd....

They'll be around 500 - 600mil assuming PLEX at 1.2B.

Roughly 275mil for an extractor, and around 300mil for the 500k SP.

My guess is they will stabilise between 500mil to 600mil.

Certainly if they go anything over 600mil then farmers will be jumping in.

A PLEX should buy a newbie 1M SP (for this they will have to use CC but then that was always obvious to anyone with common sense).

I'd say CCP has got the price about right, too low and it is easily abusable by the big alliances, and too high and it is prohibitive for the masses.

I still think this skill trading proposal is a stupid idea and detrimental to the game and is not at all very eve-like, but pricing at 800aur to 1000aur was the only option that CCP could realistically go with.

When they said it was going to be equivalent to the cost of using the bazaar I must admit I took it with a pinch of salt, this is priced way over cost of doing business in the bazaar.

Well this is one of the things I was hoping for if they insisted with this SP trading garbage and that was to raise the prices soo high that the scrubs would have to work overtime (and maybe sell some of their personal belongings on Ebay) to pay for them, LOL.

I condone this decision by CCP because at the very least, it'll reduce the cancerous effects that SP trading will have on Eve and prolong its lifespan.

The high aurum price and decreasing yield for high SP characters means that the character bazaar will be much cheaper than buying injectors. People who want to buy a lot of SP will continue to buy a character.

So this limits the SP injectors to people who just need a little SP to do get into a new ship, use a module or whatever. This is not very impactful to the overall balance of the game. So actually the high price makes me less worried about the consequences of SP trading, because it's so inefficient.
