Just read the blog
It's a very good idea, must admit never knew that many characters went through the bazaar each day.
Diminishing returns is also a very good idea, as it protects your older customers characters sp lead, which they deserve. It also allows others to get to a point where they can have more options with what they want to do in the game.
The only thing is to protect those older customers characters you will probably need a limit to which you can use them to boost a character. Off the top of my head, I'd say 150 million sp. But of course you would be in a better position to know what that cut of point should be.
Get rid of the character bazaar and replace with an in-game system like you are proposing in a very good idea.
Edit:
It also does away with the problem of someone buying a character where they don't like the name. |

I was wondering if they would consider NOT SELLING SKILL POINTS but maybe they could use some of the following ideas:
A character 'REMAP SP' item from the store - in case you want to turn those mining SP into Combat SP The ability to package ''WHOLE CHARACTERS' to be sold on the market - get rid of the Bazaar bring it in-game Boosters for SP gain that are balanced towards lower SP character - the Blood boosters were very popular
Remapping SP for AUR/PLEX is a much better idea than SP-harvesting.
They're replacing the current bazaar. Some people create characters just for the bazaar so CCP is giving them something to do. |

There is a potential problem with the system.
If demand out strips supply then you are likely to get some of the richer players in EvE stockpiling them, they may do this anyway and release them slowly so that the price is artificially high.
You could combat this although it could be potentially ineffective.
When you buy the packet off of the market, you don't get the packet you get the sp ready to use. The problem is that all they would have to do is repackage them.

Diminishing returns is a bad idea, because it says a big F you to your most loyal customers. It only protects older character's SP investment from poor people - or at least "not rich" people. Fixed that for you...
Diminishing returns are fine, the system really allows newer players (5 million +) to get to a stage where they can try something they actually want to do.
If you just want to fly frigates you only need a set amount of sp, sp after that is irrelevant.
If you want to fly cruisers you need a bit more, after that any extra sp is irrelevant.
Battleship you will need more, any sp after that will be irrelevant.
and so on...
Don't forget players that have been around a long time should have a lot of isk anyway. So are more likely to be able to afford them anyway. Without having to spend any more RL currency. |

And by your logic, some means all... ^^
Of course not, if it did , I'd have said so.
Edit:
Actually, it was a little dig at them really. As I was pointing out not all older players feel the same way they do. |

If someone quits over this, the chances are they would have quit sooner or later anyway.
Or they may see it as the last straw, but that would mean they're already unhappy about the direction the game is moving in. |
