This thread is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
You know, I almost always switch to a "combat clone" before I go for PvP roams. I generally use only +3% or even +1% hardwirings and +2 implants on it. It's kind of disappointing that my clone costs are bigger than the cost of the implants.
Like I've said in other threads before, I'd probably be more active if I didn't have to worry about losing ISK the equivalent of ten fully t2 fitted rifters for example if I got podded.
IMHO all the clone prices should be slashed at least around 90%. I firmly believe that would encourage solo PVP and PVP in general more than any of the other commonly tossed around ideas on the forums (remove local, force hiseccers to mine / PVE in lowsec and other "great" ideas).

Stopping developing my main character is not a choice. Well okay, it is, but it is a mind bogglingly idiotic one and I can't believe you're actually serious. Are you? |

There's nothing holy about your skillpoint total. SP are just tools, and adding on more tools just for the sake of saying you have the biggest collection, and then complaining that they weigh you down isn't rational.
I've chosen not to use alts. Why do I have to make an alt so that I can enjoy the game more? I think I'm already being punished for not being 200% more efficient in generating ISK for this policy I've set for myself. I think that is "punishment" enough as I'm not fauceting billions of ISK to the game.
I'll tell you what's not rational - you saying I can't or shouldn't gather more SP on the only character I ever aim to play, just because you seem to think that a character that is old is swimming in ISK. I'm not, partially because I don't have alts, it's undeniable that alts help you generate a lot more ISK than you could on a single account. And the other part is, m not good at playing the markets. |

Pod loss is the only ISK sink in PvP. Everything else is either ISK-neutral or creates ISK (insurance)
To add to Marconus's post and just keep repeating what other people have said; It's a poor ISK sink if people avoid PVP because they don't want to lose their pod. Again - I don't think the costs need to be eliminated completely but slashed very hard to be more reasonable. |
