i did read it, i even quoted it.
yes, it's aimed at them in the same way; they can both purchase SP if they want. |

I don't understand why you say I project emotion. I simply told you the rules are not modified. If someone could buy a permit to not get concorded in HS for real money, that would be changing the rules with a P2W mechanic. But not this.
well it depends how one use words i guess.
If i say the rule is a character gains sp through time in a specific amount - so after 1 year he maybe got 20m sp for example and through additional payment i can end up with 50m instead or more - i am able to call that a modification - as rl money gets transfered in this process it is possible to call that a modification through the use of rl money - if you do not - ok
if i-¦m using the wrong words to describe this - please teach me better ones - english is not my native language ;) but i-¦m sure you are able to understand the meaning...

So it sums up in shut up and leave if your opinion is against this - i can assure you it-¦s not my business what anyone likes to do with his / her money. Personally i want to avoid games that only want money for everything you do. Thats one of the primary things that attracted me to eve. As this is changed now more and more i-¦m leaving. As already mentioned my subs are running out in a few days and ... bye. But that doesn-¦t mean i have to remain silent until this :) Again, your not forced to pay RL money to use this feature. Why does it matter if someone else chooses to? The end result is the same. His SP boost isn't bigger just because he used his credit card and you used your ISK. again - yes this is true. you are able to do so. but will this be the norm? I guess not. What if new players want to use this - as stated this is aimed at them. do they have a good iskincome to support this? what are they going to do? and if this is only a feature to support the playerbase - why additional moneycosts? i have no problem in someone bossting himself - i have a problem with the shown "we are going to milk you even further" attitude. CCP has already monetized eve with a monthly subscription - then added plex as a second - then added aurum as a third - and now features are coming to generate pressure to use them all. which one is paying the bill doesn-¦t matter for me
I don't see it as milking us tho. Milking us would be making this an exclusively RL money only option. Infact I don't think there are any features at all which are strictly RL money only, not even the subscription which is a phenomenal thing for a company to do.
Also Plex as a second, Aurum as a third? Plex is the root, Aurum and ISK are conversion routes from Plex. It in itself isn't a CCP monetized item. To this day there are 3 things you can by with your credit card. Game time, Plex and character transfers. This isn't going to change. |

This however, gives the option for people to skip this bad mechanic if they either invest the needed time to farm the ISK or some RL money. SP queues have always been bad, since it didn't promote active play.

advancement would probably be a more appropriate word there than modification, as you are paying to advance from 20m sp after 1 year to 50m sp after 1 year. |

No different to buying a plex, selling it for ISK and then buying a cerebral accelerator and a top set of Implants with said ISK. I've now boosted my SP gain during that time window just the same as this new feature, just be it over a shorter time span. |

You cannot change the meaning of a word, based on your own interest.
That being said, I understand your example. And it would have merit, if every character was forced to train at a specific rate all the time. But that is not the case. Some people will choose only to train the skills they need, then train another character. Or they could choose to buy a character from the bazaar, increasing the SP gained for the individual (and SP lost for the seller, but it's the same in the proposed feature).
So no, nothing is being modified, since SP alone does not change any rules of the game. And "interfering" with rl money already exists with the character bazaar.
Anyway, the point is that no rules are being modified by paying a fee to CCP.

Theres alot of difference there, cybenetics lvl1 doesnt allow a top set of implants, cerebral accel last for a short time and is one off after your so old, doesnt allow you to go from 0 to 10,000,00 in as long as would take to inject them. |

Nobody wont remove skill quee. Change only will make new options available and all players will have same accses to it.
Syn'Drakkahr wrote: 30+k players that can purchase SP from the market is not unique.
So I make a conclusion from your statement that you think - only quantity of skills points makes players unique. I so much doubt that everyone will train same skils and there no chance that even small group of players will be able(or wishing to) to maxing out every skill because creating new specialized toon will be cost much cheaper than maxing out single charachter.

Oh, really?
So today I can train up and skill a GUARANTEED unwatchlisted cyno alt in seconds using plex, can I?
Because once this goes live, I can do that. And I absolutely 100% ******* guarantee EVERY super pilot will do this.
There are far too many horrible offshoots to this specific implementation and furthermore it is caught in the paradox of being either ruthlessly exploitable by the old guard - or utterly worthless to newbeans.

Of course there is a difference, I was just answering within the context of Jared Khanar's post. (In which he was talking about SP gained in the space of a year)
And yes, of course there are ways to potentially abuse this system. That's why the debate should be about reducing these abuses rather than outright writing it off as a bad idea. |

I don't think this is an issue with SP, but with cyno ships. So how could cyno ships be balanced in order to work around this issue? Maybe some form of animation or graphic (like the guns fitted on your ship), that you can see before you engage someone and not only after they've deployed the cyno?

There are no limitations in existence which will make this an acceptable idea once you look beyond the highlights and into the detail. The very notion of this being both workable whilst unabusable is a perfect paradox. |

What?
Do you even know what supers use cyno alts for and why they are watch listed?
Not to mention the idea of using the bazaar is a) slow and b) reliant on supply. |

Exactly. Cyno alts. Incursion Alts. Burner and FW mission frigate/bomber alts will be instant, because you can do soooo many isk making things with low SP alts that it ain't even funny. And only people who know what they are doing will want to do that in the 1st place.
On a side note, I think I will start bookmarking the most naive posts people make when ideas like this come up so i can make a "remember when you thought this was a good idea" blog post somewhere about it years later lol.
Now that i think about it, I should have started in 2008 when they announced Dominion SOV, you know, that thing that was supposed to be WONDERFUL for new players and small groups

Instant T3 subsytem skill loss negated Need a scout? Hello instant unaffiliated interceptor pilot Never have your cyno alts watchlisted for moves again, ever. Need a new suicide ganker or scout for it because you've been burned? Why hello there. Need a POS gunner in an emergency? No problem!
FFS I could create a griffin alt and skill it instantly to come fly over and break tackle on something I foolishly engaged on my mission boat.
The possibilities for creating clean new alts is...frankly mental and if you really think the players won't abuse the ever loving out of this well then I guess you don't know us very well.
This removes any/all delays on having a functional anonymous alt being created with a specific purpose. If you can't see the holes in that...well /me shrugs |

I don't believe in an unsolvable problem. Now I think about it too, I don't see the Cyno alt "problem" as an issue. It already wouldn't take long to fill every spare character slot I own with Cyno alts. It's going to take even less time after the starting skills changes. At this point we are already pissing into the wind when it comes to complaining about the ease of making cyno alts.
(Also who the funk in the right mind is going to spend the obviously high amount of ISK or -ú required to actually make all these instant cyno alts? These SP injections won't come cheap and if someone wants to empty their warchest into such a blatant waste of ISK then I say let em get on with it.) |

As far as I understand, it's for moving your caps safely, right? But yeah, I was looking at it from the scenario of people dropping caps on cruisers fleest in lowsec.
Anyway, as said and as you've already confirmed. It can still be done with the bazaar. Although, very clunky and slow, is still possible.
So again, the issue is just with cap movement and how is works in the game. Something that might be addressed in the upcoming cap rebalance. Anyway, it still is not an issue that is a direct consequence of the proposed change. The issue are caps.

I'm sure super pilots would trust cyno toons from the bazaar not to be watchlisted by PL. Yup. I mean, that assumes it's not a PL player selling it for a set up anyway.

Besides, there are a rash of other nasties with this and all to solve what problem again? Your and Tippia's argument is actually one of the more valid ones, in this sea of nonsense these past pages have been.
I think you guys have a point and the feature needs to be balanced around this. Either that, or some other major balance changes in the game needs to be made, so instantly trained alts could not be an issue.
However, there is a problem with retaining new players. And how the skill queue is a bad mechanic that does not promote active play. Maybe this is not the solution, but I commend CCP for trying to solve this issue and proposing such a controversial change to how skills are trained.
But it is also very naive to say there does not exist a problem. Basically, the skill queue and its afk promoting properties is the problem, and something drastic needs to happen with EvE in order to attract new players and promote what EvE is really about. Being actively out in space, creating interaction between players and not sitting in a station ship spinning, waiting for a digital bar to fill up.

Besides, there are a rash of other nasties with this and all to solve what problem again? Well CCP Rise simply didn't like the name Kil2, what other reason does he need? Barely any fresh characters realize there's an option through the character bazaar. If CCP could figure out a method of improving gameplay accessibility by granulating that on the in-game market --
Should they make more money off of SP? It's a system that ruins the potential of the game, sets up payments on top of sub payments, and cheapens the role-playing experience. The game could just as well thrive through being a true sandbox. That's where the referral and sustain potential is.
"SP is helpful for the game?" Here's all of the research on motivation -- it says the opposite! What purpose does it serve, then? Starter corps are non-competitive. Sov is unchallenged. "Fix sov!" you say? Remove SP.
