Actually, that is also the answer to that question. You're catching on, but no need to derp yourself over it.

You can't force a question on an answer, just because the answer is the correct one for other questions. The world isn't black or white, and if you asked if it were, I'd say 'Yes'.
You don't have to like an answer, if you truly wanted it, it wouldn't matter what it was.

Im at a loss for words to describe how utterly wrong you are, and how contrary your position is to what language is, and what its purpose is.
Ask me a question, any question, and I will demonstrate.

So you say the world (though infact we where only tqlking about language), isnt black or white. But if I ask you if its black or white, you'd answer "yes"? Is that not blatantly contradictory, even disregarding the syntax makes no sense in the first place?

Yeah, there would be no harm at all.
I suspect CCP doesn't want to do it because the last time free sp was given for downtime things didn't appear to go smoothly for some people, which would have generated support tickets. So I'd say they're trying to avoid that this time.
Of course it would be fairer if everyone got it, not surprising some vets say otherwise it, wouldn't even really effect them at all.

Tippia wrote:GǪand the rest of us are saying that, on the scale of things, the 6 days worth of training is nothing.
Yeah, when you have 10s of millions of SP it looks like nothing. When you are just starting out it is a considerable difference.
It is called decreasing returns to scale. This change means nothing to me. My main has over 120 million SP. 350,000 extra SP means almost nothing because the marginal improvement in my characters ability to fly various ships is very, very small. This change though will let a new player get into a broader range of ships immediately (or when he has the ISK).

Agreed. If they gave it too me, I might forget to distribute it for days even weeks. The butthurt coming from players older than me is amazing. Talk about needing to HTFU.

Dude she is pointing out that Tippia can be impossible to argue with. You can present a nearly universally accepted concept and Tippia will say, "No, I do not agree that water is wet, because :reasons:." In short, Val'Dore is poking fun at Tippia...you just missed the joke.

If you've been playing eve for under 3 years, you're a n00b.
That's just how the game is.
Don't worry OP, in 2 years we'll be able to finally start playing EvE
I'll say that to be fair, CCP should give this 400k SP bonus to all players under a year old. Because like you said, they're still considered to be new.

Forget it, it's a Tippia post they often lack coherency or logic. For example Tippia is going on about how handing out 350,000 to new players who are 6 months or a year old is a devastating precedent, but somehow Tippia got 7 million SP for "free" and that's okay nor setting a precedent.

I'm yet to see a post by tippia with logic. Arguing with him is like bashing your head against a wall repeatedly.
The fact that his argument revolves around him being a older player and 350k being nothing to him shows how detached he actually is from reality.

The ferret is from the sub family Mustelinae, one of the more diverse groups within order Carnivora. Weasles are closer to otters than other members of the same subfamily (Klaus-Peter Koepfli et al, 2008. http://synapsida.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/weasels-in-stone-mustelid-evolution.html).
Oh and why is no one demanding that CCP remove skill points from all characters in the game whenever they dropped the number of skill points for starting players? After all it is only fair and there is a principle at stake right?
On a more serious note, Glathull had a brilliant point from before actually, that seems to have been ignored.
Glathull wrote:I think the argument about X number of skill points is completely beside the point. The intent wasn't to hand out some specific and arbitrary number of points to new players. The intent was to give new players a wider array of options starting out. Instead of thinking of it as 350,000 skill points to do what they want with, think of it as level 3 of gunnery or something.
Let's pretend that you already have gunnery to 3. What do you want CCP to do? Give you gunnery lvl 3 again? It's no use to you. You've already got it. If you've been training for more than a week, you've made your decisions and the skill ranks being handed out to new players is equivalent of what you spent your first week on.
So perhaps everyone would be happier if CCP simply ensured everyone had their support skills trained to at least lvl 3? This would truly benefit new players without being a stealth buff to older players.
After all, this is about principle right? |

I'd like 350k SP.
Cutting out a newbies first week of obligatory skill training does not change the fact I spent that week myself getting those SP the hard way, with the limitations on hand and I still stuck with it. Giving 350k SP is a pretty token gesture to your existing playerbase who already support you.
If they don't, then so be it, but I will still point out that I did things the hard way too.

Stop being so damn greedy.
We won't be making it much easier for new players by giving them that extra 350k worth of SP if everyone gets a free unallocated 350k as well, that doesn't narrow the gap at all. Only scoots it over to the right.
Think of the children!!!!
I'd support all accounts receiving these skills to the level new players will be getting if they don't already have them, but come on life-noobs, do the impossible and think about someone other than yourself for once. |
