Seen this game over many epochs. From beta to launch and in between many extended breaks. You did great things and expanded the horizons of the game in the beginning. Then you had mission creep and expanded your own horizons too far. You tried unsuccessfully to turn EVE into barbie fashion designer and ended up pissing a lot of people off. You really failed to learn anything from it other than you are consistently incompetent with PR and customer service. You squandered the treasure of a niche game with a niche market and ended up with multiple failed projects.
You temporarily began to work on your game again. I came back to what is essentially the Jove seeping into the game, Space Aids, a daft implementation of skins, and now you want to just sell SP straight off. I understand you guys have a problem with retention but this is not the answer. You need to slow down for once and stop yourselves.
My only question is how desperate are you right now? The character bazaar is a well moderated and nuanced way to get the kind of character you want, make it easier whatever but this is not the answer. You are going to massively inflate the cost of characters across the board. You are going to put even more strain on plex and cause further inflation. You are going to introduce a new and highly exploitable farming mechanic.
You are going to allow the ISK rich of eve to create armies of highly trained day old alts that will create chaos everywhere. You are going to allow people with trillions of ISK to grief this game in ways you never want to experience. You are opening this can of worms up when so many of your core concepts are terribly broken still. When you have people like Fozzie who's name is spoken like an expletive by the people I know since I came back.
I don't know if it's your water or all the hipsters and skeletons you hang out with but knock it off.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.
One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.
