Just like soccer is unfriendly to casuals who play maybe once a month, only those who play everyday have a chance to play in UEFA finals. Happy with the analogy?
And yes, you do come to the sandbox and act like a spoiled child. The sandbox offers you two choices- use gear that you can actually afford, or make more isk.
That said, I could afford to pvp in full +5s. The training time gain they provide is however not worth it. In fact net gain from using them is 0 SP in the first year. You're obsessing over something very minor, use a cheap clone if you are spacepoor and enjoy the game without stress from clone loss. That is what all others do.

Plenty of people play sports casually. That's how they get good. And please, no name calling. I feel like I've been respectful up to this point. No one person here (outside the voted officers of the CSM) has a want or desire any more or less valid than any other. There are consequences and my wants may affect your wants and then compromise can happen. But saying that I don't have the privilege to come in here in request things while you do speaks poorly to your argument.
I have no right to this game. I have no right to play it or to force change. I do currently maintain the privilege of making requests so please either tell me why this change would affect you or others negatively. If you can't, please move on rather than tell me how I should play the game. |

Exactly. Hop into a clean clone, leave your expensive implants behind, and get your fear of death and training time loss over with. Soonest begun, soonest done. I promise it doesn't hurt, and you really won't miss the few hundred SP difference that a day of PVP in a clean clone will give you. If you're really interested in PVP, this is the only way it's ever going to happen for you, because I seriously doubt that attribute implants are ever going away, and we both know that any sort of jump clone revamp is extremely low on the list of priorities.
Your other option is to use an alt for PVP, but that means an additional account, buying a character, or pausing training on your main to train an alt on your current account. |

Thank you for being respectful. I think I will go out and just try it. I wanted you to know with all the other arguments being flung back and forth that yours were among the most significant in terms of adjusting my attitudes on the subject because you were civil and treated me like a fellow human being. Please continue that trend :) |

I meant no disrespect, I used your own words about the spoiled child thing.
I fully agree with Altares, just do it and stop stressing, this game is noy about SP, it's about having a good time and getting kicks. You will lose isk and your pride will get hurt. If losses wouldn't sting EVE wouldn't be this addictive :)

Make Clone jumps timer relative to the LY distance to the clone?
same station, instant, 1 ly = 2 hours, max 24 hours?
problem solved, alliances have to commit for long trips and fights, if you want to fight in your home system you don't have to sacrifice your training implants. |

I am in faction war and have gotten unlucky a few times on the pods.
Now, what I do to cut down on the cost is this:
I only use 2 implants corresponding to what two attributes are what I am training for at the time. No need to get +charisma implants if I am training, say, Gunnery V. It helps that I do get a fairly steep discount because we in Faction War can ninja plexes sometimes and get huge amounts of LP. If you do get podded, do not get more implants until you are finished playing for the day.
If I get unlucky, fine.. I am only out 2 implants. Also... try to keep to the +3s. The +5s I would not suggest unless you are strictly a bear in high sec. They are much more reasonable. |

saying u have to have expensive implants to keep up ur training time is a bogus argument as has been said.
ur acting like ur entitled to that training time. ur not. and passive skilling makes the fact that ur not on 24/7 irrelevant. if u cannot log on to swap between clones, the training lost between a +5 head and a +3 head over a week is negligible. ur warped perception where u assume u should be able to train as fast as everyone else as well as PvP is where u are going wrong. the truth is that this IS possible, its just costly.
if u want to PvP, then accept the gimped training time, or accept the risks and the costs that come with it. u cannot have ur cake and eat it. |

Keep only implants like Slaves, Crystals etc ... You want to buff yourself in pvp , pve with implants ? Still possible. But placing mandatory(let's be honest) implants in your head is kinda worst thing that happend to pvp. People are ok with losing clone, pvp frigate along with fit worth maybe 10kk but are quiet not ok with losing 500kk in implants along with pitiful 10kk frigate.
Noone can put reasonable argument behind damn attribute implants. Just rise all attributes for all toons across the board +5. Gj now why train cybernetics ? Plenty of reasons : slaves, crystals , snakes , genoltuion, skill hardwire.
Give this game best change ever - remove attributes implant. You do this and i will pvp EVERY SINGLE DAY. I will provide you many KM's every single day. But cba to lose training time becuase i have to sit in damn jump clone. Wow damn 24h jump clone. It's not even about time i don't want jump clones at all. Remove them along with attribute implants.
Whoever thinks it's bad idea must really be out of this world. You don't want those carebears jump into low sec in GREAT NUMBERS ? Because now all they risk is thier ship and clone ? You don't want number of pvping people doubled,tripled or even more ? Really you don't want ? If not keep those implants and keep those people in high sec because of that. I would do pve content in low sec and pvp all the time if you would remove those bloody implants. Now i do travel to low sec but not very often and try not to pvp - usually on pve bussiness - mostly short ones.
Since at any given time, any skill in training uses only 2 attributes, I imagine there is people out there with clones fitted with two implants they JC around with, only risking two implants per clone loss. With +4's I imagine the loss is quite manageble for low PvP activity. Still, you're right, the current system rubs me the wrong way.
I suddenly woke up thinking I had a Nightmare, then remembered I can't even fly Amarr Battleships. |

The difference here versus your proposal (which I think has merit, don't get me wrong), is that you don't have people jumping Hi-Sec down to Null, doing a roam with their Alliance/Defending POS/whatever and then jumping back out once that is done. That should be discouraged.
If you are willing to physically fly to Null and jump into a PVP JC at the station you dock at though? I think that solves the ping pong Hi/Low <-> Null stuff.
I like this! I want this! CCP, make this happen!

This is one of many points Marlona already addressed quite well.
Add clone cost+implants+timer and you get a nice soup tasting "less pvp" than the other way around. The fact someone pvp in a rookie ship with 7B implants doesn't make it any better smarter skilled eve'ish but a gaming choice, it's his own choice and up to him to assume the consequences for doing so, doesn't matter he can die like that 20 times in the same day or a year this player does not represent the average player, the majority or good "uberness" example at all.
The fact someone chooses not to log in or undock because of implanted clone/timer it's also a valid choice. Not encouraging pvp but rather force players to stay dock and not risk the implanted clone because silly timer, even if some nerd on GD said you'd look cooler doing so, it's bad for the game.
By the looks of Eve-kill and ratio implanted/not implanted then expensive/cheap implanted players who pvp, it's safe to say clone cost+timer+implants really needs a good take a look at, put all numbers on the table (easy for CCP) and find the good solution to promote pvp by offering better options. *removed inappropriate ASCII art signature* - CCP Eterne |

By the looks of your character name I'm sure you "Banzai" on every group of ships you find out even knowing you're gonna die without killing one of them, because you're not a risk averse guy right?
And also because you're not a risk averse guy you don't use safe spots to gtfo is things turn bad for you.
You always pvp with HG Slave or Chrystal and named implants because you're not a risk averse guy, right?
And because you're not a risk averse guy I'm sure you always faction/officer fit your pvp ships, amirite again?
So you, the not risk averse uber player, can for once give us some lessons of humility indeed.

While the difference gain in between +4's and +5's is very small, I wouldn't say using +4's vs 0 implants brings no gain and it's unworthy.

what is this post even trying to say? the original poster wants the benefits of +5 implants, but none of the costs associated with it. trying to suggest ur training is gimped because u have +4's for a few days instead of +5's is just insulting to ones own intelligence.
u PvE with ur slaves? ur a genius! i've never owned a set of slaves or crystals, ive never had enough money to spend on such items. Nor a faction fit anything. I have a rattler that is a remnant from wealthier days and has a single faction omni tracker (oh sh!). I've never plugged in anything higher than a +4 or 3% implant. every implant beyond them has been sold to fund PvP. i can hand on heart say i've never had anything higher than a 4bil wallet, and that was from my unemployed days. it didnt last long.
I DO "Banzai" into fights, my most expensive clone is my PvP clone. **** K/d ratios, **** isk/loss ratios. at least i get out and have fun rather than crying that the items i bought and used of my own free will are preventing me from doing what i want to do. OGB? if i could afford it pal
get over urself. |

Surely, but what's the problem? Two +4s are practically free.

I agree with this your post completely. (+5) or (+4) to all Attributes and removal of outdated learning implants will bring more PvP. A set of +4 keeped me out of low/null sec for my first few months.
As for Jump Clones - QoL level reduction to 23h would be enough to keep it from creeping. Something like a new skill that reduce time between JC usage by 1% per level. Reducing it more would affect balance too much. |

Even if the value for you or me of those +4's is different from other players, it's a sandbox, we don't play all the same way in the same areas, we're not all special nerds 12h a day getting internet props or e-honor, you know this.
I'm not for the removal of attributes implants but for changes on clones prices and JC timers, it's not the same thing.
My answer to your post was just to point out there's a significant difference in between +4's and zero implants, not to address if someone should pvp with or not. *removed inappropriate ASCII art signature* - CCP Eterne |

While I already agreed to just go out and try it and return back to see how it is I would like to make this follow up statement to those still discussing it.
I try very hard to make sure that when I'm arguing against an idea, I try to think of how it would be detrimental to myself, the game as a whole, or how it would cost too much development time.
A person saying they don't think I should have it just because isn't an argument. If the rule isn't targeted to a specific person or pointed very precisely to a small group of people is there for the benefit for many, not one.
You may have convinced me to just go try it, but there are tons of people who don't read the forums. You cannot adjust social realities by principle. They must be adjusted by policy. If the current game mechanics are keeping a lot of people out a new policy must be put in place. Either something that communicates the same conversation here, but more likely an adjustment to jump clone rules or implants. Ultimately it will be up to CCP to figure out what they want to do here based upon the metrics involved. But you cannot wish people to change their behavior en masse. |
