We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you Breaking News...
OP wants to flip the switch to turn EVE from 'earn your way into ships/modules/etc' mode into 'instant gratification' mode as the default.
Video at eleven.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

All I will say is "BAD IDEA." The reasons have already been mentioned by many people in the thread. |

Even if CCP decided to give new accounts All Level V skills and a 500 billion ISK wallet, newbies would still get their azzes handed to them in combat. They wouldn't have the first clue how to use those skill points and ISK to get what they want out of the game, and would soon be broke and extremely frustrated. There would be cries of cheating and haxxorz ... after all, how can a character with All Level V skills be beaten by a character with only 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 million SP? You know ... somebody who actually earned those skill points over time while playing the game and learning all about it?
Earning skill points over time gives new players a chance to learn more about the game. This makes it so character skill doesn't out-progress player knowledge/skill.
And to the poster who requested a one-month double boost to skill points earned for new accounts? They tried that already. People complained bitterly when their boosted time was up, even though it was quite clearly stated that it was for a limited time only. You could even combine the boost with a Cerebral Accelerator to REALLY get that learning going. The complaining about what amount of time the boosts should be for led to CCP taking it out of the game. |

Yes, there are some mechanisms that definitely need getting used to.
Yes, creating routines is useful.
No, this doesn't take years unless you are extremely slow. As in paralyzed.
lol Wow. Troll much? Or are you getting mad for no reason whatsoever?
The "mechanisms" that need getting used to don't stop after a certain amount of time.
For mission-running, there's the transition from L1 to L2 missions, from L2 to L3 missions, from L3 to L4 missions, and learning that some missions within the same level are much harder than others. Then there's the epic arcs and COSMOS missions.
Other parts of the game are similar, with thresholds to pass at various points.
The game isn't rocket science. It's spreadsheets. Not everyone gets spreadsheets. |
