Every reply I've seen about there needing to be more risk FOR NEW PILOTS has either completely forgotten what it's like to be new or is just bitter. Why on earth is it a bad thing to make it slightly easier for new players to get into the game? Why would you expect them to know all about jump clones or how everything they want to do even works? Unless they have friends or very quickly fell into a corp that was exceptionally helpful, they won't even know what questions to ask to find out about this stuff.
Most new pilots learn by doing and EVE should make it easier for new players to do things. This doesn't mean they should get into capitals in a week, it means they should be able to risk less to see more. Removing learning implants is a great way to do that.
I was sorely tempted to just underline every use of the phrase "new pilot," because it really seems that most of the people replying against it are somehow missing that when they read these posts.
If only there was a place in EVE, an expanse of space, fit for learning all the ups and downs of life in New Eden. A magical place where new players could learn in a low risk environment, protected by an elite police force to help prevent a bad experience, and at the very least avenge the criminals that still manage to destroy your things.
Oh wait it's called hisec. Where i spent my first 6 months and if I recall (not hard since i've only been playing for 9 months) is this safe, low risk learning environment for new players that you sujest. Cool thing about hisec is that unless your a) in your pod or b) a war target, chances of losing your pod are extremely slim, and learning implants are great for young characters when taking hours off of training times is really important. Furthermore there's plenty of places to learn pvp in hisec (Euni for example). So keep learning implants unless there is a plan to remove hisec. |
