If you're going to sell SP - Do it this way. A 2008 Character, that has been playing on and off untill now. They dont have a 2008-2011 full years training - but since they've lived that long - allow them to BUY the skillpoints that they missed out on when they were afk for the equivilant of the subscription cost for that time. Allow them to do it in "chunks" rather than all at once and only all at once as the option. Not everyone in eve is a rich crumpet.

Sorry for the insults - my patience with idiots that start arguing without reading what you say is now non-existant.


I disagree with them selling stuff like what they ARE GOING TO DO with the Faction towers.

Here's what CCP's plan is with that. They took it out a few patches ago. Now they're wating. When the current supply of BPC's runs thin - and the remainder's prices go thru the roof - they will introduce them again via Arum.

So players are forced to buy the BP with Arum to seed the market.

Good marketing move? Yes.

One hell of a low-life move on the part of the eve players? Hell yes.

Why are they doing this? They want more cash from microtransactions.


The step of taking items acquired thru the game - wether it be from Faction standings/LP or building from scrach - i do not like.

Why?

It changes the game playing field to "Whomever has the most cash IRL wins the game" - In terms of them being able to have a monopoly on items.

Do we realy think CCP will be reasonable with item prices when they are charging $80 for a Monocle?

Hell no!

Expect the faction tower BPC's to be around the $80 mark, if not more.


This is why we need to build a bridge Re: CCP's Arum and selling items in game. And instead of boo-hooing over the fact that it's here - start pointing CCP into the directoin we want them to go with it.

I think everyone should agree that if they sell in game items - like the faction tower BPC's - this game is royally screwd.

Instead we need to point CCP in the direction of ideas/things that will NOT tear our game apart and turn it into a who's rich wins senario - but things that everyone would be interested in getting because it's cool/nice to have - and at the same time changing their Arum model to run off "Sell bulk to make lots cash" - rather than "Sell a few for huge prices"

Aside from the fact that I'm sitting on a bunch of faction tower BPs and don't really care let me touch on something.

YOU may pay cash for them, just as YOU may buy GTCs to convert to plex for other in game items now.

I play for free and I will pay for any of these alleged MT only items with ISK.

So as far as I'm concerned nothing has changed.

But in general I am opposed to the things I said no to in my previous post. Most because they are game breaking and one because it's going to kill the game for those with lower end systems or lower bandwidth internet connections.

Once you are in the station, anything goes. The more crap you can buy the better. Good for us and good for CCP. But again, I personally will never have to pay cash for anything in this game again. I'm not quite yet sitting on a hundred billion but I'm pretty close.

So do I win because I have more than you? Be it cash or ISK?

NO!

For one thing YOU CAN"T WIN EVE. There is no 'win' so stop using that term. What I can do is buy more shinys than you. I can also lose more shinys than you.

So.. if these towers or any other non game breaking items can be purchased with cash and then put on the open market for ISK, I say meh vOv
Not so much different than what we have now. If they are cash only... well, TBH, I don't see that happening.

Now why you gotta break character and make a rational post?

I would like to point out that you don't play for free. Just because you aren't paying your cash for it doesn't make it free. You gave ISK to someone who did pay cash for that plex in order to get that "free" play.

I swear about half the breakdown in communication is that people can't think a process more than 1 step in either direction.

Other than that I pretty much agree with what you said here.


Damn I feel dirty.
