My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

300,000 SP per injector in the 50m-80m bracket is a bit too steep. Bump it up to 400k at least. That's the bracket which is going to have your #1 skill packet consumer. Put a hard 0% utilisation at around 100m SP and it's all good. |

And they are most likely heavily invested in continuing to play anyway so they won't care about this change. I doubt that many older players ( 2-3 years +) would quit over this since they are already invested in the game and play because they like it above other games. This mechanic will simply milk new players for more RL cash and benefit very space rich older players.
Note that I do not consider a new player paying however much for the PLEX to buy SP up to the entry point for a bigger alliance to be a benefit to them. |

Well I can hope beyond reason CCP will see this and consider it, but my guess is going to be not likely.
One of the ways in which I think you should change this for the vets is you remove the restrictions on sp incoming if you've had sp outgoing.
For example. Lets say I'm 120mil sp. Over the years CCP has made a lot of changes to skills over time that are regarded not nearly as important as they once were and now I have *useless* (to me) sp. I'd love to be able to move that SP to other skills.
So lets say I do one extraction for 500k sp. I'm then allowed to buy an injector and use the full 500k. However, the next injector I bought would still be liable for the 150k amount.
If you want you could even subject this to certain limits, like I could only *move* 2mil sp a year like that etc.
Player is still paying market costs etc and CCP still gets its share. Otherwise will be a nice feature for noobs, something else I'm not ever going to use as a bitter vet with 3 chars above 120mil sp. |

The skill amounts should still be adjusted to 512k instead of 500k so it matches up with actual skill amounts. Aside from that, looks cool. |

For once, it seems reddit has the best opinion of skill tradiing. The overall opinion is pretty level-headed over there compared to here and twitter.

It probably has some thing to do with cheapening the effort that I put into training skills over the years.
But since CCP has already decided to go ahead with this idea, it's apparent that alienating the older player base is less important than pandering to the impatient newbros.
In the end they will do neither. Veterans (and veteran organizations) will learn how to leverage this to better their experience, while new players will find it a turn off or even detrimental.
We've seen thinking like this from CCP before. The question becomes "how many times must a way of thinking fail before it's abandoned?".

edit: not yet, but February is still a way away. Maybe if this crosses 400 posts it'll be abandoned though, I worry!

The cost benefit and lost potential usage of extracted skills for whatever reason in the future means I would never be extracting from myself. I would however pay a higher aurum price for a self extractor/injector. It's not tradable (call it genetically coded). You even give it a slight diminished return, but the point is that it resculpts the points of self. Otherwise if I want to get rid of 5 mil in leadership stuff to basically get 1.5 mil in something else plus the cost of a ton of aurum just doesn't make any sense, especially given than game is ever changing and you could tie some leadership skill to a ship, (command Desi anyone?) Honestly a self-restricted "skill rearranger" (which you can buy and trade, but only when empty, and can only use on the character that extracts sp to it) would be nice. You could make it so when you use the "skill rearranger" you fill up your 500k, but instead of giving you a filled extractor, it gives that character the (450k?) SP. No ability to transfer SP to another character.
This is what I am aiming for as well. The proposed system is too inefficient for personal use. |

The idea that a player is new at >50m is a very incorrect one. Apparently CCP believes that is the case, but that doesnt change much.
For this idea to not break the game it should have been capped at 10-15m. But of course then it would have been helping primarily new players (or alts, because we need more of those!), and that would be bad. |

If your goal is to provide "options to help new players with progression" why is this change allowed to affect characters with more than say 50 mill SP?
Did your lead designer not pose the question of how much assistance new players needed to be competitive? Or did your Senior Producers simply rejoice at the idea of more people engaging with these micro-transactions on their older accounts?
The exclusivity of the early adoption SP pool for your title is gone, what separated a player of 4 or 10 years is now nothing other than their employment history and DOB. |

Ok, honestly as a "vet" (do I qualify? What's the SP minimum to qualify) it isn't that great even for me to make new alts as I am unlikely to (1) suddenly need a new general alt... or even a new specialized alt, and (2) it will presumably be "cheaper" to train the usual way, and I don't have that sudden need.
But I do think the genuinely new player (not just the alt of someone who probably also has 5 other alts and won't need all of them RIGHT NOW) is the one who benefits the most from just a single little boost of 500k SP.
They can't go and do something else... except train I guess. So it helps this particular edge a lot.

I understand, which is why my idea didn't come without limits to do it. That said the major flaw with this idea is that I don't think that there is enough incentive for people to extract SP in the first place. |
