Originally by: Research Monkey1 If u really want u kinda can buy SP. just buy plex and buy a set of +5's or buy a whole new toon. I think if people were able to buy SP they would be much mroe likely to rage quit due to not knowing enough about the game as if they had learnt it by playing and experiencing.... i can imagine all the titan pilots stuck on lo-sec gates going "WTF!!???!!! why can't i jump thru to Hi-sec?"
As things are now players will quit the game, because they feel stuck with a huge gap between new and old players. The friends i play eve with all fly cross faction battleships, and training for marauders and carriers, when i do level 4 missions with them to grind some isk i'm stuck flying the trashcan destroyer with tractor beams and salvagers. I'm training to fly a logistics ship which is going to take 46 days to train, and that is the minimun skill required to fly the ship. I can fly battlecruisers, also with close to minimum skills, which i use for solo missions and stuff like that. Still i know for the next 2-3 months most of my time in eve will be spend in my trashcan destroyer, not really the most fun thing to do...
When doing the missions i'm completely useless, they are just nice to let me tag along and get some free isk, the job i'm doing anyone would be able to do on an alt. It does take some of the fun out of the game, the waiting for skills to finish is not the challenge and learning experince some players are trying to make it out to be. I'm not saying new players should get everything served on a silver plate, but on the other hand it would be nice to play with you friends, without having the feeling you are being carried around.
Those friends that are carrying you around are probably also wishing you could fly something bigger... but I am pretty damned sure they are also glad you are taking your time and learning how they do stuff. Imagine you had the skills and isk to fly a battleship... you get in, buy all the mods, but have no clue how to fit the damned thing with your own personal flare instead of a cookie cutter setup...
Now imagine the same with no flare and suddenly a module you would have fitted would save the day, I dunno like a smartbomb or something, you manage to clear the one npc or player frigate that was holding him down... how thankful is he that you learned the game rather than buying skills and mods and saying "Yeah I rock"...
My point, regardless of how much you have in isk or skills you will NEVER compensate time spent ingame with it... ----------------------------
