This means from now on no matter what decision you make in the game it has no consequence any more? Just buy some more SP to get all the ships you want to fly, without any effort.

You are sitting on your char, the char you created and like. Suddenly FCs come with a new fleet ideia

You need to fly Machariels

You look into your char and think. damn 34 days for me to be able to fly those

You can always buy a char ofc but on your char .... nope

Now with this you can simply go and buy the skillpoints you need, place it on your char ... you can fly a machariel

Pay To Win

I mean F*CK his 12 years of efforts

You get to keep the char you want with the name you picked and the skillpoints you decided to train and not someone elses ideias/trainings/skillpoints

The effort involved in researching, planning, and implementing those 12 years of skills. I mean, someone spending 12 years perfecting something passive shouldn't count as having done anything.

Gardeners are by this logic, worthless.

I will try to stay away from replying to troll alts but just so other know skill queue was not there since start. For years you had to time skills and plan when you will change it, wake up to do it etc.

Also there was no attributes remap either so you had to plan well how to develop your char.

And even after getting those it still takes effort to do the best possible planning to utilize the most of your attributes in the long run.

And if nothing else I am sure plenty would stop playing and training if they knew this will happen. Why should i spend hundreds / thousands bucks on subscription while having to bother about training when I can just come and drop the money and get everything i want?

I am an individual with unique real life aviation ... experiences

Soooo what you're saying is that I could break my 150m sp toon down into 3 perfectly focused 50m sp toons for the cost of cash.

What then was the entire point of training for this long?

No, you could never do that. You could only ever accumulate SP on a character at the speed dictated by the character's attributes. With this change, no such limit exists.

By trading SP rather than skills, accumulation speed has no upper limit and only depends on your willingness to shell out cash, and thus you have a situation where you pay to bypass a mechanical limitation GÇö a limitation that is in place in full force in the bazaar (which is why the bazaar doesn't break things).

The point remains the same: this idea will let you bypass a core game mechanic simply by throwing cash at it

GǪaside from the core mechanic that determines how quickly a single character can accumulate SP, since with this idea there is no limit other than how much money you choose to throw at it.

It doesn't matter whether or not it is GÇ£extraGÇ¥ SP; what matters is that training speed is now functionally infinite, but only for those why are willing to pay. Such mechanical bypasses are bad in and of themselves, since they render the underlying mechanic pointless; hiding them behind money changes them from merely bad to utterly horrendous.

I am mildly amused how much the "for" crowd is feeling the need to pad the thread out in order to make opinion seem split.

You just proved that you do not understand how the character bazaar works.
No. The bazaar does not allow you to bypass core game mechanics.

In fact, it currently requires those game mechanics to have been at work

There are no two ways about it: this idea lets you train skill many times faster than the mechanics for training skills allow
