If this is indeed the case, the sensible thing is to remove the problem outright for everyone rather than make it contingent on the size of your wallet. Have to agree with the above..^ The real problem would be, is that such a function just gives more options to those that can (afford the costs) as to those that simply cannot, to increase cost's to 2xPlex for such a function would make the idea even more untenable than that it is now. Players do like a level playing field when all is said and done. If they can't afford it, they can't have it. That's how the game works. There's nothing unfair here. Not everybody can buy everything, that's normal and working as intended. Why should it be different for remaps? Seeking fame and fortune? ;) No age limit! There's a tears bonus program !

Personally, I would really enjoy being able to pay to not be bothered by the damage mechanics GÇö screw the scrubs who can't afford it tooGǪ.

Are you serious?! It is pretty much the definition of unfair if the game mechanics treats people differently depending on characteristics that have no connection to the game itself. The advanced prototype accelerator gives +17 points for seven days and currently costs 2 billion ISK. The prototype one costs 250 million ISK for +9 for 14 days and the standard one gives +3 for 35 days plus 20% RoF bonus, also for around 200 million ISK.*
These were given out to people who bought new accounts and can be bought by new players via contracts, meaning they'll have to push a PLEX into the system to get it.
Okay, that's not really the same. I still don't see the issue though. They only manage to skill faster, but that doesn't make them win the game.
What kind of harm do you see emerging from it?

The consequences of buying nvincibility are vastly different from those from buying a remap. The remap only allows you to shorten a timeframe, it doesn't remove whole mechanics.

Thread == dead.
CCP, debuff Barges, or buff Ganking. Either will do for me, but we need more Yaaar! in this game lest it become WoW in Spaaaaace! -á~ Me |

So it's definitely something they could put back into their catalogue. The Eve Store is kind of a head-scratcher. I can see they are committed to only selling high-quality gear, which is admirable, but the choices of merchandise are baffling. A Guristas hoodie and bag? The t-shirt that some characters wear in their avatar? These are obscure and esoteric even for the Eve playerbase. Guristas hoodie is popular because it allows an EVE player to pass as a Donnie Darko fan to the general public (avoiding the image of being a basement-dwelling MMO nerd) while still being recognizable to other EVE players. |

I remember reading somewhere in a recend dev blog that they were actually looking at removing attribues/replacing them.

Completely comparable. Skipping game mechanics that apply to everyone else is skipping game mechanics that apply to everyone else. Whether the effect is small or large is irrelevant GÇö what matters is that the mechanics are there to balance out the gameplay and make everyone subject to the same set of coherent and consistent rules. Being allowed to skip any of them is inherently bad. There's a reason why being able to ignore game mechanics is perhaps the most common and universal way to get yourself banned from a game.

It's in the summer CSM minutes; some of the reps put forward that it's a bad mechanic and a couple of devs agree.
