Ah yes, one of those clever new players investing in their character.

I don't really care what IronBank does, tbh.

They already did. They described us as "ready for big changes in New Eden" and then "relaxed the scale a little to allow more flexibility at the high end".

Hmm, maybe there is a silver lining after all.

Some of you people are truly clueless about Iron Bank... he's a banker of the corp called I want Isk. they own a site where you can gamble isk (and yes the site is rigged like most casinos, you have more chances to lose than gain) @ iwantisk.com

he did not pay 30k... he simply took the isk people put into the site (in their corp wallet) and used almost 2 trillion isk worth.

this guy doesn't even have to play or even log on and his corp deposits him money on a monthly basis... so what he does is go on twitch and give some isk away as "giveaways", fully knowing that this would become popular in eve twich channel... he figured... if he were to donate some isk away, people would donate him real money to stream.

he does have a "real" job however, i guess twitch doesn't pay him enough yet.


as for sp injectors themselves... the entire point of eve for the past 13 years was to gain sp so you could do more with your character, now a new account can max 27 years of skill time into 1 hour... ok... so you basically destroyed the core of your game and told the vets who paid you for 13 years to **** off, it's time for some change.

welp... i am not rich, i can't afford to buy injectors... i also don't play a specific game all day every day to make enough isk to buy some either... so i'm just going to let my sub run out and go play something else.

ccp in a nutshell = cancelled wis, cancelled wod, cancelled dust, no word on legion, seagull talking about a vision that never happened, ccp staff keeps leaving including the founders of the company, sold off white wolf, decided to make some VR games when that platform is not even close to being in demand... the list goes on, these are just examples that come off the top of my head

you're a horrible company man, get your **** together ffs.

Along with others I have posted to the new feature discussion and new ideas discussion about the negative consequences of being able to buy skill points. (qv)

For some players it is only now dawning on them how it is going to affect the game, as others like Ironinject, or whatever his name is, follow in his footsteps and depreciate the years of work by players who trained skills with time. Shell out some bucks, and you too can have more skill points than Dr. Caymus!

Generating revenue by gimicks and selling P2W functionality, instead of by improving gameplay is a road to ruin, killing the golden goose. Disgusted veterans who see years of their lives rendered pointless for a few dollars start to log off. They are replaced by rich 13-year-olds with the attention span of Daffy Duck.

We already saw this whole scenario play out in Dark Age of Camelot, initially a very successful game, which the development company out of sheer greed ruined with a P2W scheme. RIP Dark Age of Camelot (October 2001 to May 29, 2014).

The appearance of this individual with his bought skill points is a very bad omen for all of us. Cry

To the underlined.

It's those freaking players that are breaking down their characters to sell. Where do you think the injectors come from?

Stop putting these vets on some kind of pedestal and stop pretending you are bedazzled by the aura of pure goodness surrounding them. They're the ones taking advantage of this. If they weren't selling off all their SP, there'd be none to buy.

If the SP injectors are such a pain in your arse, then just go ffs!
Just eff off and be done with it, holy crap!
Some of you should step away from the PC anyways, because it looks like you take that game as some kind of replacement religion, holy ****!

They're also the ones setting up SP farms to keep the supply flowing once they've finished lobotomising their own alts.

How many of the scandalized players in this thread have sold SP injectors?

Calm down fan-boy.

As to veterans selling SP?
I doubt that many who care would "harm" their mains.
Alts with limited purpose that have trained random skills because they have a skill queue to fill on the other hand ...

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Still, it undermines the argument that is based on "the principle of it all!!!!!!"

Tell us, have you sold any SP injectors?

Oh wow, an ad hominem, you're such a cool guy.
That hasn't anything to do with "fan boy" it's just that whiners like you make me sick.
If that game is sooo cruel than leave for fucks sake, simple concept, isn't it?

I didn't think it was a dodge but if you want it categorically then "No." I never have and never will use a skill extractor or injector.

Thank you for being explicit vs. being snide and snarky.

Still as for the rest of the scandalized posters...I'd be curious.

Not any more. CCP has become a large part of Iceland's economy and they have a greater responsibility to the community around them than messing with a bunch of people online.


The word **** in context means theft or abduction which is the historical definition of the word also, not the hysterical definition you've used here.

Not sure there is a way to prove it though.
I think the only thing you can do is look at kill boards for a sudden increase in different ships or a drop in old ships.

I still mine though but haven't lost a barge or exhumer in about 4-5 years, which immediately shows a flaw in this.

I mean the eveboard seems to only show the latest point that we reached.
