I always say "skilltraining in EVE compared to skilltraining on other games is like welface compared to work - you don't have to do anything for it but you don't get a lot in return either".
Apparently most EVE people like the welfare model. *shrugs*

I'm not saying the EVE skill method is inherently bad or flawed, I'm just saying it is incredibly slow.

àyou're only painting it in a negative light.
I'm just saying it's very slow.
I can imagine that in a non-linear game with lots of very diverse options it would be very hard to implement a "SP for X activity" mechanic, but they could have made skilltraining maxed at at least 5,000 SP/hour and not 2,700.

Skill training in EVE compared to skill training in other games is like a trust fund compared to work ù you don't have to do anything for it, and can go and enjoy life instead (and some people can't stop obsessing about how some other guy's trust fund is marginally and meaninglessly larger).
Well skilling up any possible class and profession to the max may in another game may cost you 2 years, perhaps 3, in EVE it costs like 22 years. So your trust fund may only get you 10-15% of a workers fee.
Next to that, skilling in other games isn't seperate from playing the game. It's just that most games mainly focus on killing enemies and that's also the thing that gets you xp.
