Edited by: Shoah VI on 24/09/2010 18:55:33 I've been playing EVE for only a few months now but I enjoy it from the previous dungeon-grinding game I used to play (you know what I'm talking about). I am, however, disappointed in the incentives for getting another person to play the game. Sure 30 days is great and all, but that's kind of expected in a MMO now. Not too long ago one of the other game companies released a Recruit a Friend bonus which gives triple experience for 90 days between 2 accounts. I'm sure CCP could think up something equivalent to this (50-100% skill training bonus for X days). Anyway that's just my 2 cents.

So you want to start a new RMT racket?

I'm seriously getting sick and tired of these noobs who think they can just bully their way into easy street. ========================= CEO of Shadow Cadre http://www.shadowcadre.com ========================= |

No, that it has become 'standard' isn't good enough of a reason to accelerate training in a game where you don't gain the training based on how long you play the game ie every jump you make nets you 100 skill points. The only thing close in EVE would be to double your bounties or something but seriously a free month for getting another player to signup is enough.

Wow, the anger. I guess opinions aren't appreciated if they aren't about fixing lag or the UI. How am I bullying anyone again? I don't remember making any threats about quitting or pointless things like that.

Don't play coy with us... It's very obvious what your up to.
Obvious Stealth Troll is Obvious
Let me break it down real easy for you.
A: Every time a foolish proposal such as yours (a repeat of the same old stupid whine) is made its done so from a number of obvious faults: Lack of Experience and they think they are experts on the subject already, Lack of time put in and too lazy and tired of waiting while the majority of the population who have played EVE far longer than you have (2 years plus here) who have put in many many days of training to get where they are don't take kindly to some noob who walks up here and thinks they deserve better by taking short cuts, didn't bother to research the subject before blowing said mouth off.
B: Didn't bother to take into account just how unique EVE Online is and then borrowing from an obvious game of which you came from (WOW very likely) and then start equating things from it such as speed of XP gathering.
C: Ignoring experience by not talking to other pilots and getting input from them before broaching the idea.
D: Ignoring other failed posts in the past of the same subject matter and obviously discounting the volatile nature of daring to ask such a question.
And last but not least... the most obvious fail point of them all!
E: By invoking such an idea.... what's to stop a gang of guys from getting individual email accounts and then inviting them all together to start up a new racket...wait a few months... then sell the chars back at tons of money (or isk for that matter).
RMT is something CCP want's to stop... not make worse.
Not that I don't mind seeing a total noob of an idiot buy a char with a dread/carrier/rorqual show up in Low Sec to get his butt blown up repeatedly... the point is still valid... some of us like the fact we invested many months of training to fly that nice shiny ship and mods... only to see a noob such as yourself invite a few friends to play EVE and then suddenly you gain a ton of SP's with very very little effort.
Anger?
Your underestimating that anger.
EVE Chars are like finely crafted pieces of wood... some of us are not so good as others... but all have one thing in common... it takes time... and I don't like it when someone gets ahead due to wealth that I don't possess or sheer social power thanks to an exploit that you propose.
You didn't make a threat but your idea is the largest threat of them all.
If you can't stand the time it takes to get anywhere in the game... then leave.
The free 30 days bonus for getting someone to subscribe is wroth it IMHO.
To change that is a total waste of time as its all to easy to get enough ISK to buy a PLEX as it is.
It's bad enough that CCP is toying with the idea to use PLEX to exchange for neural remaps... and that's ****ed ALOT of pilots off.
Gee I wonder why... maybe its due to the fact that some of us put a little time and effort into the game than most lazy noobs eh? ========================= CEO of Shadow Cadre http://www.shadowcadre.com ========================= |

Remember, the buddy account offer gets used for alt accounts more often than it gets used for actual friends. And you can activate a buddy account with nothing but a PLEX. Do you really want to create a state of affairs where people can pay game currency to get a boost that massive to their stats?
First rule of Eve game design - whatever you create, players will abuse as hard as it can possibly be abused. Keep that in mind when you make proposals. === "The data does not support that polished quality sells better than new features" "Once Incarna and Dust are fully implemented, focus will probably shift far more towards improvement" CCP, FTW? |

No.
Any change that lets a player get an advantage for out-of-game actions is bad. The posts above are a good example why it wouldn't work. Even if you somehow made it so that it cannot be abused, it would unbalance the game.

Start a trial account, buy a PLEX, get faster skill training? Hell yeah.
By that, of course, I mean no.
And to be a bit more constructive: the buddy rewards don't mean anything as long as you don't actually have to invite a friend (= new customer) to the game. If the rewards were any more significant (= any better than the price of one PLEX), people could just send invites to themselves over and over to exploit the mechanic (see above). ___________ EVE is dying!

And this is the most ridiculous thing I have seen in a long time. I love how Blizzard (you can say it's WoW btw) nullified any "achievements" that other players made without those buddy invites.
