I didn't really agree with this at first, and the lower the discussion went on the more I thought it wasn't a good idea. From the get-go this blog was BS. The negativity wasn't normal EVE loathing. Across the board it was deemed pretty unfavorable. There is a purpose and reason to the skills and the wait. If someone screws up, they screwed up. In a game where you are told everything you do has repercussion somewhere, somehow, so should skills. The long wait is to make sure you have the actual game skills to advance to high game play. Letting every John and Mary buy some skills off dead alts from people just increases how many u ready people will be doing stupid things. Plus there is always potential for abuse from EVE rich and RL rich people. |

OK, so I've seen the posts now saying there is some issues when you buy a toon on the Bizaar. Last night, we had a guy that wanted to be recruited in our lounge that bought a 18mil Sp carrier toon for an unreasonable amount of money. He can't do anything with it. He's screwed and he admitted it. I don't feel bad for him. He made the choice. He was the one who didn't read the fine print when he bought the toon.
Good. I don't need that in my corp. Part of EVE is consquence and getting good at the game. If you're that dense that you can't buy a toon right why would I want a player who is new or has a young toon that is fixing his/her skillpoints? He still has months to go, but he's clearly not suited for what we do an a corp or alliance. Now, with this new... system... EVE can be over run by new/returning people who don't know what they are doing, dying because they don't un or getting rejected like that dude, and then quitting. Why? Because it's still not going to fix the skillpoint v skillset issue. |

I'm posting just to repeat what I, and others, keep repeating. This isn't going to help new players. This is going to work for large alliances and people with deep wallets. You will have tons of people buying SP, and dying repeatedly, who are new because they don't understand how to play. They'll figure out what others did to get their ISK going, auto level up, and die. Fleets on 0.0 will be boring as **** because it'll be easier to counter their ships in war by buying the skills to make an army. The winners of eve will be the people who have the biggest RL wallets. This system, as you can tell from DOZENS of posts, sws how many scenarios players are coming up with to game this system. I do not see this benefitting players like you think. More examples have been given of how older players can use them with much better efficiency. |

Is CCP afraid they can't sugar coat this (seemingly) unpopular change with fancy marketing language when there are clear stats about its popularity?
This is something I am curious about too. Clearly the replies CCP talks of are not the ones I've read here or reddit |

I'd be surprised if they did take a vote for a decision like this.
Never heard of surveys I take it. |

Since when are surveys specifically for customer satisfaction? When did they get demoted to strictly that function?
As far as I can remember surveys have been used to gauge how customers view new concepts. Companies do it all the time. |
