NO
Originally by: Mspaine 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.
NO

YES
You do realise that their current plans - the ones they are going ahead with - is to sell ships, items and skillpoints to anyone who has the cash? Yes?
Anyone will be able to buy a facion battleship, Marauder, Freighter/Jumpfreighter purely by goign to account managment, plugging in their credit card details, selecting which character and hitting the buy button.
Same applies for skillpoints. Why spend months training up a character when they can just buy 50mil SP straight from the acc management page and assign the sp to a character - buy the skillbooks then hit insta-learn on whatever they want.
It also seems they dont intend on lowering the prices to make their sales an actual "micro" transaction. Microtransactions work becuase they price is small and every man and his dog will buy it because its cheap and affordable. $80 for an eyepiece $10 for boots is laughable.
Change is coming slash allready has knocked on our front door and moved in. It's not going away - CCP's financial reports say this. What we can do is help guide CCP in a way which will help pull them out of the debt dumps by means of putting up "reasonable" things for sale at "reasonable" prices depending on the item.
At current - they dont give a toss about how the playerbase feels because the playerbase has shown them outright rage at the fact they "dare introdouce cash for items" - even if it is vanity. They are acting like any other person would when they're in debt up the arse and need to get out for the sake of their kids.
In the position that we realise nothign can be done to stop the sale of virtual items for cash from CCP - we can point them in the direction of how to do it corectly in a way that will benefit them - and keep the playerbase happy. Both sides need to be willing to give and take on this matter for it to work tho.
The point is more than no game-affecting RMT is acceptable in whatever way.
It still feels like a knee-jerk reaction to CCP's financial problems and "Hey! Other MMO's are making lots of money with MT, lets do it too!".
