I heard so many times about having to play for 20 years to learn all skills in the game. Athough the lifespan of a MMO can reach that, its unlikely that it will reach that before a sequnce (EVE 2?) is released.

Even those who have 7 years of skill training are very far from that. But th newbie gets to wait many months training before putting his hands on a Battlecruiser or a Battleship with basic skills.

No one wants EVE to become a game full of Titans, its not about maximizing skills. A player after 2-3 months could with good planning (lets face it a newbie won't start the game planning so much) be able to fly a decently fit a Batllecruiser. By decent lets say something that could do level 3 missions without much hassle.

When you consider so many different aspects of EVE (mining, PI, PVP, Exploration...) its kinda hard for a new player to plan and train so much, with so little options. You can expect to fly a decent hulk and mission before sitting for half a year.

If the training skills were like 10-20, training a level 5 skill for 60 days wouldn't be that bad, but let's face it, half of the game choices is about 100+ level 5 skills.

I could be saying a lot of crap since my knowledge is very limited and I recognize it, but from a new player point of view, from a PVPer wanting more victims roaming, wouldn't it be better to make these pilots be ready faster?.

Yea those who spent 7 years with the actual skill training rate would feel robbed but, seriously? Someone with 1 year of skill training advantage would never be able to be reached from a starter because both would have their training skills shortened.

I don't know if this sounds as a killer factor for some, but considering how long it would take for a player to reach 50% of the possible skills learned and the time that takes for a starter to pass the "horrible piece of crap pilot" to the "horrible pilot" skill-wise, I do think that making skills being learned even at +100% speed wouldn't do any harm to the game veterans AND it would bring new players into action faster.

I know that EVE is not for everyone and Wow is not here and easy things are not here, and spoon fed players are not here, but I really think that speed the training would help the game so much. Unless you guys still think that waiting 2 months to learn a skill something exciting.

Well its just something to think about, i'm not trying to take what anyone have already, so don't panic or rage over it. Remember if training skills would be faster now, it would allow veterans to experience things they were about to give up due to training boredom time.

In EVE, PVE can happen anywhere, anytime. Whenever you undock, you subject yourself to involuntary PVE.
