I agree with the OP that there needs to be a sort of SP gain / action system. I don't know how it would be implemented, and I cannot be bothered to give examples of one. However, I do not enjoy sitting around for months at a time waiting for base skills so that I can be semi-proficient in more than just buzzing around in a frigate scrambling people.
Did I play WoW? Yes. One of eight MMO's I've played, In thas particular MMO I had 8 max level characters. I'm a power leveler and I admit that I would power level the **** out of myself given the oppurtunity in Eve Online. I don't understand why you people feel like you're being "punished" just because given the oppurtunity I would move more quickly in the game instead of being stuck at your turtle pace.
I challange you all to give me one VALID reason, for why this shouldn't be implemented in some way or form?
You say that it would encourage power leveling; so what? How many people ghosted characters for years just to sell them in the future?
It would create an unfair advantage to people who played? What's wrong with that? You're saying its wrong for people who PLAY to be rewarded for actually PLAYING? Why is the guy with 2 jobs who logs in 1 time a week entitled to be just as good as the guy who bleeds his heart and soul in to the game every day? Because the other guy was "lucky" enough to find the game first? How is that anymore fair?
CCP if you have any intention of expanding this game and your playerbase you need to learn to make your game more accesible. I don't care about quality vs quantity, I just want to see over a million people playing Eve-O.

Because this is not WOW.
Stop being a MMOTARD and accept the fact that EVE-Online will remain unique for that very reason.
If you don't have time to play the game... then you shouldn't be playing it in the first place.
I have a full time job... I pay my bills...just like any other hard working individual. The only reason I play this game is because its not like other MMO[RPG]s where I won't get overhsaodwed by some punkass idiot who's played only a week and does things that other players spent weeks if not months of hard earned time and work getting to.
Everyone has an equal chance of acheiving the ability to use/employ the hundreds of fun little things you can in this game.... each advanced aspect takes time.
Not effort.
Anyone can sit on there ass for an few hours and level up a character.
Few have brains enough...let alone the Maturity to wait.... and be patient.
Patience is everything in this game.... and that's why I will gladly spend more money on this game to keep it that way.
Don't like it?
GTFO and GB2WOW.
Personally I love the fact that I have to wait an entire month just to use something very high tech.
Granted... maybe the timers could be shortened just a tad.... but then again.... it would devalue the full worth of said thing.
Personally this entire proposal says one thing.... you lack patience... you have no maturity in such a thing... and your tired of waiting to level up your uber chacter.
Tough.... adapt or quit....
I love how everyone's argument falls into insults someone proclaiming yourself to be more "mature" just because you apparently can wait and I can't. I never said I could not wait, infact if the skill system were to stay the same I could care less. However, waiting is NOT fun, and no amount of BS that you spew at me can make me believe that you actually think that waiting is FUN. Waiting is inherently not fun, for you waiting is conveniant because you do not have free time.
The problem isn't that I do not have time to play the game, the problem is I do have time to play the game. Yet other then mining / running l3's for isk to buy items I can't even use ( I have a Abaddon sitting in my hanger that I won't even attempt to fly until the end of January). Sorry, waiting in this game isn't entertaining and it isn't fun. I'll wait of course, as I said before I've got every intention of playing this game for the next year or two. However, I will not be against a more active SP gain system on top of the system we currently have.

OK, here's one:

Once again, why is this wrong? So apparently advancing your character more quickly through your own efforts is a bad thing?

Thank you for proving my point as far as maturity goes. /thumbs up
"Good things come to those who wait"
And what of hard work, persistence and perserverance? These aren't traits that should be bear results? Being able to wait for months, weeks, and years at a time shouldn't be the only way to "reward" players.

Largest time I've had to wait was no more than a month. Anything more than that.... your exaggerating and too lazy to switch your skills.
I do know that there's a great deal of discussion over a skill queue.
I dont know of a skill that takes a year... maybe doomsday weapon operation level 5? : O )
Do you honestly believe I was talking about one single skill taking years to train?

No, implementing a system that its proponents freely admit they will abuse is a bad thing.
So...Playing Eve activly in an effort to progress a toon faster = abuse?

Originally by: Drake Draconis You really are a one of a kind.... I'll give you that much.
Instead of giving vague ambiguous statements how about you just answer the question.
