You learned nothing from the Jita riots.
You learned nothing from the reasons your servers that used to have 70 to 90 thousand people on them two years ago now have 15 to 20 thousand people on them.

The fact that CCP is even tossing this idea around tells me volumes on their current financial situation.
I had doubts before this post. Granted I took a year and three month break from EVE awhile back and came back to servers that had 15 to 20 thousand people on them instead of the 60 to 90 thousand people on them.
I can't blame CCP for trying to spin this idea. I really do believe they are desperate for cash. Speaking of cash how is all that cash you poured into DUST doing?
Like it or not CCP is losing money and they already alienated their veteran players from the Jita riots onwards to the latest Fozzie sov.
They really have put them selves into a situation where they really do need to appeal to new players as they already lost a huge chunk of players in the past year or two.
I really love this game, but the utter nonsense the devs keep thinking up instead of listening to the player base.
Case in point I assure you this was not even screened on the CSM before this blog.
EVE is in a downward spiral.....don't believe me? compare server numbers today with two years ago...I am talking more than a 300% drop. This is FORCING CCP to try to appeal to newer players, such changes might not appeal to us the people that have played EVE for years. But this tells me CCP is in alot of trouble due to years of mishandling the EVE community that they are now forced to think up things like this to appeal to new blood.

Personally P2W is bad, HOWEVER . . . if this was implimented in the same way as remaps ( ie you can remove skills once per year, and implant them, say twice) then it might be a better solution if you are really that keen to roll the dice.
This is not a bad idea. Problem is it does not generate cash for CCP like this suggestion does.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive, and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote. I hate to say it, but the biggest troll in this thread is by far CCP that posts a dev-blog like this,
coming out with a concept that is against everything at the core of EVE concepts because they are strapped for cash.
CCP embracing all these writers and historians that glorify what EVE was and should be but at the same time making fozzie sov basically killing it.
I really think CCP is confused as hell as t what they want to do, they already watched their player base drop from 70K-90K average on the servers two years ago to 15k-20k average on the servers now.
Here is a hint.
STOP alienating your customer base then waking up in an empty bed and scrambling to reach out to newer players that neither have the time nor love invested into the game as the older players do.
The only way, someone will be loyal to this game, is if they are emotionally attached to their characters, and the stories they are living with them. That is not something you can just inject to the new player base. And no amount of tutorials or opportunity maps will give this to the new players.
The buy SP is so short sighted imo that as soon as a new player realizes that more SP=/=a sure win in pvp him and his monthly subscription will evaporate faster than your one month old player losing officer fit caldari navy ravens off the jita undock. And I am sure CCP knows how long those visa warriors stick around and play eve.
P.S.
All the people that say this is a great concept.....
/me whispers......they haven't paid a dime to CCP in years. And fully embrace a new way for them not to.

Doing so would be going against a core mechanic of EVE online just to get extra cash so yah.
