Why the hell would I want to spend ISK on something that is nothing more than a piece of paper saying "I know this"?

---

I think he's talking about spending ISK to get Certificates which would give you the SP specified in the Certificate.

If that's the case, fail for another thread from a new player that wants SP but doesn't want to wait around for it. In WoW you spend every waking moment killing X number of rats to make your character level up. In Eve you set skills that train over real life hours. Much better, in my opinion, which is why I'm playing this game.

If he meant spending ISK to get the Certificates after you've skilled, which we currently get for free, I'm with Drake and would just say no to certificates. They would be pointless.

The day you can buy SP, with ISK or otherwise, is the day I quit Eve as it would have become Neopets Online, pay money for your new clothes on your character, Yay! Thankfully, that day will never come.

Here's a thought- though admittedly, I probably wouldn't support my own idea, despite it benefiting CCP:

Players submit PLEX cards to CONCORD covering the amount of days they want to train- in other words, say you were 90 days away from the skills needed for a Hull Tanking - Elite certificate. You would submit 3 PLEXes to CONCORD in exchange for the skills- that way you tie it in to legally purchasing isk, and CCP gains revenue overall from PLEX sales.

^Rough idea, like I said- but I'm curious what your opinions are of it.

5: Rinse and repeat.

Conclusion - Anyone who makes a suggestion for buying SP is a ####ing ######## of a idiot.

Sorry... you have no excuse for not thinking ahead.

Please people... give it up... stop turning EVE into WOW.

I am guessing that you have not taken basic game theory, have you?

EVE does well because it appeals to people outside the WoW playerbase. If it altered to compete directly with WoW, it would die a horrible death, just like all the other 'WoW killers' out there.

1. I was drunk.
2. Even while drunk I was being sarcastic. I mis-typed on account of laughing, not the vodka. ;p

Lol, I just have to point out that a persons IQ have nothing to do with social skills. As if I insult you for a stupid opinion. According to your statement it means I have Low IQ? Mind clarify this just a little.
And for the record, the higher IQ a person have, the less social skill they tend to have.
So; are you saying that Drake is a genius?

Jemos, I meant exactly what I meant. I had enough IQ and mere guts to say "ok, I'm wrong, respect to your opinion", and Drake does not have the ability to control himself enough to point to mistakes of others without resorting to insults which are of not intellectual, but purely biological nature. Now I think opinions are more thank clear. I thank everyone again, let's end this.
