One of the most obvious is to simply give new characters 2-3M free SP to spend as they see fit.

who goes to the trouble of rolling a new toon just to gank some freighter? Do that **** as an outlaw with a kill rights list a km long.

The pay to win is already very prevalent in eve

Winning is what ever you make it to be in eve. Finally flying that new shiny ship, getting those sweet sweet killmails, owning your own piece of space, collecting billions of isk in day trading among thousands more.

This is proposed as a tool to help those who want it. If you are already winning eve your way then don't use it but i don't see why it matters if other choose to use and pay for it. It's not like it's a proposal for over night cap pilots.

If sp is so insignificant why do you all care so much about the thought of someone catching up to your 5+ year old character?

I still don't get it... As a monthly paying customer where do i sign up for my free 700m from a plex sale? Oh wait no i have to PAY extra for that, how is that not the definition of pay-to-win?

Through the character bazaar isk = sp, therefore we already have a mechanism for paying to win with sp. Is it such a stretch to allow this on someones personal account instead of having to buy someone elses?

To the second paragraph true and very fair, if plex and character bazaar weren't a thing i can't see sp boosts being a thing either.

If we wanted to play games that weren't EVE, we'd be playing them already.

Man, is that the best you can come up with?
I am surprised your propaganda team has not pulled your posting privileges.

It amounts to just one more PLEX sink, and one more currency faucet for CCP.

I think salvos fancys tippa.
I can't see anything els this could actually be about.

To "stay competitive"?

Y
Those who dont, can continue life in their car without a cupholder.

Think about this contretely.

Lets say you and I both have 2 PLEXs.
You choose to spend those to maintain one toon, and train it 50-75% faster.
Whereas I choose to spend mine on maintaining two accounts, with 6 toons total.
A third guy instead chooses to spend his by maintaining one account, and parallel training his 2nd toon on that account.
A fourth guy decides to sell his for ISK to fund his terrible PvP endevours.
Fifth guy uses one to convert to AUR, and maintain his main account with painted ships.

I have no problem with any of the above. Why do you?

I tend to agree I would prefer the option was PLEX specific, rather than purchaseable by cash. But it really makes very little objective difference. However that might reduce the kneejerk reaction some superficial people have ro any mention of cash transactions.

For Tippia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_mechanics

The game mechanic of SP is not changed.

There are already SP accelerators in starter packs. There are already implants in-game. There are already neural re-maps.

Did you complain like this when the "game mechanic" of only being able to train one character per account, was changed?
For that you basically get 200% SP per month, as a sum total, across two characters, instead of only 150% on one toon, as would be the case in this.

There are none.

Want to discuss it on voice?

Argumentum ad publicum, and false implication as if I had ever stated the above.

Shame you won't voice comm. You could have recorded it and had me banned :D.

It is though, sincerely, my experience that talking helps resolve many written and literal misunderstandings.I know, for a FACT, that you are misreading what I have said. Possibly, I am yours as well.
But as long as either of us insists in our misreading, there can be no way forward.

*looks at text*
*reads it*
It says "Learn to read".

Is that an answer to my question? Nope.

Everytime you do this Tippia, this categorical inability or refusal to answer simple and direct questions, I laugh, hard.
And the funniest thing about it? Is you actually have the audacity to expect others to answer your questions, when you categorically are incapable or unwilling to do the same in reciprocation.

Did you complain like this when the "game mechanic" of only being able to train one character per account, was changed?

Since the mechanics for acquiring SP on your character didn't change, no. All characters are still subject to the same rules and the same mechanics that determine the acquisition speed.

Where. I must have overlooked it.

I know.

I made the distinction for your benefit, to include that you are not only misunderstanding what I have written, but you are also misunderstanding its "literal" meaning.

Do you REALLY, seriously, believe I don't know the definitions of the words "written" and "literal"?
I even paused at that point when I was writing the post, and decided DELIBERATELY to include the "literal" part so that my statement would also carry the definitions of that word, additionally to "written".

You DO know that they are not the same word, right? And that their definitions carry nuances and specifics unique to each?

[
Its up to you whether you choose to believe me or not, when I say I included them BOTH, deliberately.
And as above, its up to you to get extremely panty-mad about it too and make empty EVE threats all you like :D

Please, tell me again, how you claim that "written" and "literal" are the same word, and mean exactly the same thing?

Care to repeat that?

Also.
Love all the "does not bother me, but I now randomly announce that KOS for my entire alliance whom are all under my influence lolz".
Clearly not bothered, no.

Just because you get upset about something, does not mean you are being trolled.

told you he fancys her

Who was the one who tried to make a jab at "written" and "literal", (wrongly) claiming they mean the same thing?
Was that me? Nope.

How is usd -> plex -> isk not rmt? Real money to in game item.
.

Isk -> Plex -> game time -> usd not paid

Because a PLEX can be converted to an ETC, retaining most of its value. Which is also why EVE's ISK is the only virtual currency that can be tied to a real currency, the spent sheckels don't really disappear anywhere until the PLEX is activated to whatever purpose.

Ramona's threat

I wish you where cute when you are angry. But you're an ugly mad :(

And all this, because "literal" and "written" are infact two distinct and separate words.
So much hate...

According to zkilllboard, again, you have exactly ONE kill in your career, against 9 losses, and that was when you were in RvB.
Once again, not exactly something that keeps people awake at night, unless you plan on going after him with an alt that has far more PvP experience.

It kind of loses its cachet if an alt nails him, unless the alt then trash talks saying "I am Ramona", but why give up one of your alts.

Oh, BTW. of the 4 chars in Ramona's corp, 2 have no combat history at all, and one other has zero kills, one loss.
Looks like Ramona is a low sec FW plexer, at a cursory glance.

So I guess it will have to be ANOTHER alt of Ramona's that does the deed.

Thanks for your announcement.
I don't care.

I look forward to the KM.
Since you can't post KM's here, please email it to me.

So I guess your comment about "see you soon" to him holds no water.
As I said, don't think he, or anyone, worries to much about your KOS promises.

Just keep posting.
That is what you think you are good at.

Seemed to bother you enough to place him on your offical troll KOS list. For what its worth.

Apology accepted...... o7
