Let me explain it this way:
This idea would disadvantage early adopters of EVE.
Like seeding more T2 BPOs using the same lottery system the older players benefitted from, CCP will never do it again due to oldfag tears and MUH INFLATION. (Secret: CCP seeded a Gold Magnate (a collector ship never to be seeded again) into a private lottery which was leaked to be rigged and no one gave a rats ass somehow.)
Oldfags comprise the vast majority of the nullsec blocs, which in turn manipulate CCP in almsot every conceivable way short of waterboarding the devs on their way to work.
Hence, your idea will never happen.

I buy a shiny fit faction battleship looking for a fight, and end up getting concorded or ganked because I don't understand the game mechanics. And the losses will continue until I quit or learn the very hard way. How do you address this?
If you can give me well thought out, and good answers to these three simple questions/scenario's, I will support your idea.
From CCP's perspective: Player tries EVE online, pays 700$ more than usual, leaves anyways.
(EVE has horrible player retention regardless, if anything it might increase it and at the very least make CCP more money.)
From regular EVE players' perspective: Shiny killmail, more circulation of hard-to-sell faction modules due to there being more easily-attainable alternatives.
From Nullsec Bloc's perspective: No hauler/tackle/EWAR? Here, have 3 plex, now go get'em!
From ISK trillionaire's viewpoint: Look, Guys, I can fly the Revenant with perfect skills!
From IRL Trillionnaire're viewpoint: Look, Guys, I have maxed out every skill! How come I still lose at PvP? *leaves game* CCP shares go up 10 points.
From poorfag's viewpoint: Value of PLEX skyrockets initially until markets re-stabilize at 2-3x current value.
Everyone wins. (Except character bazarr biomass farmers) |
