sure the 2+ mil "bonus" sp will serve us well, but will we ever catch our predecessors? We had a chance before.... now they will all be beyond us.

think about your pvp? the better skills/better cool head wins right? what if you can't ever catch them? SOL in my opinion.

---

You've always been able to "catch up", and the removal of learning skills doesn't change that in any way.

Malcanis' Law: Whenever a mechanics change is proposed on behalf of "new players", that change is always to the overwhelming advantage of richer, older players.

I still love this one and still think it applys to this as well.

---

I think this is one of the rare cases, where it either doesn't apply or the extend is so minimal, that it doesn't matter or the amount of benefit compared to now will not be shifted.

OK ... it's like this ...

You have two kinds of people ... those who just want everything as fast as they can get it and don't give a damn about using their intellect to plan anything out - or to work for anything - and those who aren't idiots.

Type A here ... doesn't give a damn about anything but getting what they want NOW!!! -- NOW!!! NOW!!!! NOW!!!!!!

Type B here - thinks about things and benefits in the long term from doing things in an intelligent manner.


You've just rewarded all the impatient little ****s - and dumbed down the game.

Those with discipline - who would work hard in the beginning that they might benefit from it later ... well ... you don't have as many of them ... so ... you'll probably end up with more subscribers by doing this - and that after all - is all you really care about. The game will be more appealing to impatient little ****s and less appealing to those with intellect.

*shrug*

Whatever ...

I've seen gaming companies go straight to hell amidst massive cheering before (massive cheering on the part of impatient little ****s) so I know better than to think that the few voices in opposition to dumbing down the game will even be heard. I hope that all of you cheering this decision enjoy the type of community we will have as the impatient little ****s become even more dominant than they are now - but - the weeding out process of impatient little ****s - who were to damn impatient to learn their learning skills and quit the game - was a good thing. It increased the average intelligence of those playing the game.

The period of learning also gave new players a buffer, a time in which to gain some in game experience before they began training for things they knew absolutely nothing about. Yes ... I'm certain ... that you will have lots and lots more impatient little ****s running around in Drakes - a whole lot sooner than they would have been - and clearly having absolutely no idea what they are doing. Of course - when they lose those ships and are begging in local for money ... I'm not ****ing going to give them any ... and maybe we'll shed ourselves of a few impatient little ****s through that process. Of course ... they'll be more coming down the pipe.


Anyway ...


Congratulations to the developers for succumbing to this stupidity - if you get tired of working for CCP - you can always find a home over at SOE - where you'll fit right in.


Oh ... and just in case you thought your selves superior to the people over at SOE ... here's a clue - you're not. You just proved it.

firstly, there's plenty of type b idiots.

second, the large mass of idiots get filtered out the second they realize this is not a dogfighting game and the majority of combat is calculating whether or not the transversal is minor enough your guns can hit the other guy.

if they manage to get that far, they get filtered out by the need for standings to do better missions. the gimmee crowd has not won yet, and while this can be percieved as a concession to them, it is really just ccp taking back something that didnt contribute to the game.

Joy. What next? Removing the crafting system and replacing it with a nice simple buy from NPC vendor one?

If I wanted a simple console game I'd go buy a console.

Way to go SOE.

Um....there is no crafting in EVE......If you want crafting, GO PLAY WOW!!!!!
