I am 2008, so this boost probably isn't going to affect me.
I was chatting with my friend about starting playing Eve. Sure we could have some fun blobbing, smacktalking and getting blown up, but the time requirements to be effective living self supporting outside of hisec are prohibitive. The time requirements of getting a career up to the point where you could fund a Rifter exploding habit without PLEX or rich friends are prohibitive.
This is not an easy game to get into, I accept it wasn't easy back in the day either. Making new players run some kind of hamster wheel gauntlet just because we did is not the way to encourage new people!
Time prohibitive?
Do you realize how many Rifters you can buy and outfit (and insure) with an hour of ratting or missioning? To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Amen to that. I tried Tera when it came out back in April. The combat was fun but I quit before the level cap. I just can no longer stand the XP grind and the moving from zone to zone hack and slash format. SWTOR was the same experience for me. I am a realist; I would much rather go camping than wonder around frontierland at Disney World. |

The thing that's great about the current training scheme is that it takes time. It takes commitment. Over the time it takes to train these long skills you have time to learn how to use whatever it is you're training for. Countless times I've seen a 2 month old player jump into lowsec in a terribly fitted battleship thinking they're the dogs danglers. Then a Merlin, a 500k isk frig shoots them down to reality. I did it myself. The point is.. the long training times may suck, but in the long run they're worth it to learn the game. |

A better way would be to buff the cyber learning implants; have the betas start at +3 and they go up from there. |
