More money under the cover of helping new players instead changing old, outdated xp gaining system. If I was a new player skill packets will drive me away from the game rather than encourage to play. Why dimnish return at all? You already screwing vets with it, rellocating SP is useless on their high SP characters ( I don't mean creating alts here). If bringing more players with easy access to SP is healthy for the game let the credit cards decide, it all about money. Vets, what vets? If vets get more ppl to play with, it's good right? More money for you, more players on-line, win-win. I finally get what MMOG stands for: Microtransactions Multiplayer Online Game. In case of EvE hard to talk about Massive.

512k SP? Ppl are so naive. It's all about money. Some of you are happy that you'll respec you mining skills. Right...you'll pay for SP loss, because that is what it be, unless you are <5mil SP.
EvE is eating it's tail. Overall PCU will increase, but we are going back to alts on-line with spike on new citadels.
Focus Nordgren. If this don't work you'll be the person resposible for slow death of EvE. We will see in feburaury 2017 I guess.

David Semris wrote:I still do not understand how is this supposed to attract new players. I long to see the commercial: "New players do not despair! For a few thousand Euro you can instantly level up and catch up with those bitter vets!" That will surely get a great attention and it will work like a magnet to attract new players. It don't. It's a way to remove unnecessary SP are put it into alt. All points that Rise made in his blog are already flawed. There will be no skills respecs (because of cap) and it will be expensive to "catch up" with vets. Skill points system is flawed. CCP knows it. They will make money on it and people will pay them for system that is flawed. Which is super funny because I was thinking EvE players are better than average button mashers. I guess they are not. I'm waiting for the price of those thing, and how much PLEX will rise. PLEX price is crucial in this game.

There will have to be SPs farms becasue whole idea is eating itself from inside. Every injector used on char >5 mil SP erasing % of created SP. So after a time prices for packet will be increasing, there will be less and less SP overall. SP farms are passive income, something that CCP don't like. Some of you may be very disappointed about price of extractor. It's not necessary must be connected to how much SP we may gain in one month.

Someone wanting to buy 50 million skillpoints would have to pay $500 + 25 PLEX = $1000.
Total money spent on an extraction + injection session for 50 million points = $1,500, spent by various parties (even if the PLEX is bought with ISK, someone has to buy it with RL money and put it on the market). A year's subscription is $132; 1 person rearranging 50 million skillpoints is worth 11 years of subscription to CCP.
People are using the "rich kids" examples as if they'll be common, when in fact $500 is unheard of in this community where we're complaining that $15/mo is too much to pay for a game.
Well thank you, another argument that this has nothing to do with helping new players to catch up.

Zappity wrote:Wow. I'm so glad CCP isn't watching this thread any more. It is depressing. Yes it is. CSM problems, lack of communication in focus groups, modules tiercide lost somewhere. In the meantime they monetized outdated xp system. We all know there is an issue with SP gaining. So rather than change it they charge it. Truly, this is rubicon.

Player B have 50 mil SP with which he have perfect skills in a Comet, but he didn't wait 2 years, he bought it all on the market with his credit card.
lets say both have the exact same fit (somehow...). What advantages does player B have over player A ? none
Player A have a serious advantage because he have more experience of PvP.
I love Player A, player B examples, here's my: 2 players, both 0 day newbros Player A don't buy SP packet and just wait to train skills Player B bought and currently flying T3D with T2 modules
Now they clash in PvP battle, who has advantage? Player A with propablly his first T1 frig or Player B with T3D? I could do this whole day. When you go faster than others (SP) you are paying to be better. Nobody tell me flying raven is same thing than flying golem, flying T1 hauler than cloaky one, not to mention T3 cruisers.
There are artificial thersholds for hulls. I love the argument that it's the experience that is matter the most. Why there are thersholds then? Where's the benefit? How good would be T2 cruiser if I could fly it without high level skills from day 1?

Quote: (...)We're complaining against any form of microtransactions, and that's pointless because money is a strong motivator and the're going forward with it; (...) Money grabbing is a cancer of the whole gaming branch. CA is releasing new total war at april. As an addon those who pre-order will get DLC (one of the ingame faction). So game is not even released and they add DLC to it...Something that was cut out from the base and sold out as DLC...I could understand something like SKINs (actually I'm not, paying for hull painted blue is not worth it), but DLC to not released game? CCP can't sell patches as addons, because it won't work. It would slipt game into not connected parts and they want the universe to be homogenic for all. So they have to find new ways of milking us from cash. SP selling idea is so incoherent (for whom?) and full of possible exploits that they have to find other sources. Big expansions may be one (players will come to see what has changed), some possiblities in Aria also, like other currencies for those who don't get paid in euros (it's like 15 euros straight for all euro zone, but average income is different in every country, not to mention middle europe). If selling SP won't work they will have to change skilling system drastically. I have no problem with vanity items, if someone is stupid enough to pay for them, it's good for CCP. Monetizing other aspects is walking on thin ice. but maybe I'm wrong? Maybe it is what gaming community wants? They are paying they are gaining, no time for weakness. CCP is already happy with less playing but more paying. We will see I guess.
