Originally by: Pteranodon Edited by: Pteranodon on 30/12/2009 11:44:17Eve is one of the very few games where you get to where you are going because you deserve it & not because you bought your way to the top
You are not getting anywhere because you deserved it, or even because you worked hard to achieve it, you have gotten to where you are simply because you have PAID $15 USD a month for X number of months to get to where you are, and because you have sufficient brain power to set your skill cue.
You are already paying for your skill points every time you pay the monthly access fee and no amount of hard work or effort, other than implants and learning skills and keeping your skill cue full is going to change that. In effect, the game offers no sense of accomplishment other than waiting the prescribed time limit for each skill to learn.
Is there any real difference between paying 12 months access fees over 12 months and having a 10 mil Sp or paying 12 months access fees in 1 go and having a 10 mil Sp character out the box. I think there is not difference at all, other than i can afford to drop $1000 USD into this game and you cannot. Also, this is not going to keep me in the game any longer, i play games typically for 12 to 24 months then move on, paying for a 12 month old character out the box wont make me play any less or any more, it will just bypass a whole lot of boring **** and a whole lot of waiting. CCP would make more money out of a player like me with this type of scheme.
The same goes with Plex. Poverty Joe cannot afford to pay for monthy game fees, so he works hard in game because he has no job and makes his 300 Mil Isk and buys a plex from me who drops 6 Plex into the game each week because i have a job and can earn $100 USD faster and more efficient than the many hours it would take to make 1.5 Bil Isk by playing the game. I am no better off than Poverty Joe other than i have gotten my 200 Mil Isk ship quicker and with less effort, and everyone benefits.
I think having SP cards that can be bought and sold just like plex would be a boon, and there is no difference in doing that directly or by buying plex and buying a toon off another player, infact it would be a whole lot safer and something that could fetch a premium as you then get to have a toon named something you like rather than MaryJane666. It would also be a plus to the balance sheet at CCP.
So i am for something like this as it does not change any of the games dynamics at all, as all skill point acquisition is, is TIME, nothing more, nothing less and for me, time is something i can put a value to and its usually over $100 USD an hour.

The purpose of the SP system is to gradually give you more stuff. Starting off say flying a Tengu is not really different from starting off flying rifters or whatever. The game is the same. But you won't get as much new stuff over time since you started at the top.

You fail to grok the argument fully, there is instant gratification already, buy a character of another player. I have done this already 2 times, so i have 3 characters and 3 accounts, i have been instantly gratified and not had to wait 12 months to get characters who can do what i want now.
I can assure you, that this has not lead to instant boredom, far from it in fact, it has unlocked the more interesting parts of the game to me, and allowed me to be playing the parts of the game i find currently most interesting. Having to wait 12 months to do things i am going to enjoy is not going to make me play the game longer than if i was given a 10mil SP char out of the box.
So, there is no difference in buying StupidName666 off a player with ISK from plex bought from CCP and buying 10 mil SP directly off of CCP to be used on a character with a name you actually like. The end result is the same, a faster entry point into a game.

So why would you want to get into capship the first thing you do? You'll only lose them since you don't know how to use them.
…because that's pretty much the only thing that fits this description. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

Yeah... but who wants to buy character "TirdBurd" at least the option to exchange skills to other characters accts ie. I purchase "TirdBurd" now change the name and pic so I have some fame to claim.

I totally understand the driving force behind the OP. Training Jump Drive Cal 5 sucks, but I totally disagree with paying for faster training times.

I'm not sure how long EVE is going to last but I think it is safe to bet that a player starting right in this moment would probably never see 150M points accumulated. Then again I could be wrong. I hope.
Dont say that, its my dream. Well FT who wants my stufz?
