I'm pretty ambivalent regarding the entire notion of skill trading. I'm hard-pressed to really find anything overly objectionable (to me) about the idea itself. This part of the blog really stood out to me, however:
Quote:The blog sparked a really great discussion in the EVE community. We decided to be fairly hands off and see where it would lead without us trying to persuade anyone. We werenGÇÖt sure exactly what to expect but it quickly became clear that many of you were able to see the potential benefits and that youGÇÖre also ready for some big changes in EVE, especially when they might help bring in newer players or give you more freedom with your own characters. After going through a lot of feedback while refining the design, I am now here to announce that we will be adding Skill Trading to New Eden and it is currently scheduled for our February release.
Did you guys hire a Fox News staffer to ghost write this?
On its very best day, the response to this idea could never be described as anything other than, "Extremely contentious." Making it sound like it has been predominantly supported and, as good little Devs, you've listened to the community, is weapons-grade PR spin.

Making it sound like it has been predominantly supported and, as good little Devs, you've listened to the community, is weapons-grade PR spin. It's because CCP doesn't read their own forums & use Reddit instead. (The idea didn't go down too bad over there)
I imagine it's less the venue, and more that they heard what they wanted to hear while conveniently tuning out the rest.
The blog is even worded in a way that it can still be technically correct: I'm sure many of us do, indeed, think it's a good idea. Of course, "many" isn't a relative quantifier, such as "most" or "a majority" - it's just an arbitrary value of "a lot". Obviously many of us also think it's a ******* terrible idea, but that didn't receive any mention for some reason.
Maybe I'm just a cynic, but the whole blog reads like an infomercial to me.

To make not so obscene money from copy/research that would be a decade too late to start. PI is a joke, not obscene amount of money. You won't be bathing in isk either from manufacturing in this severely overproduced economy. And to even a scratch a decent profit from any of those (these days especially), requires decent amount of studying and befriending 3rd party tools/excel/etc.
I can generate a couple billion in profit per week with a few minutes of effort a day with manufacturing on a single character.
PI income, particularly for pure factory planets, is ******* *ludicrous* right now thanks to the massive speculative pre-build of citadel components currently taking place.
You are possibly just bad at the game.

"For some time" meaning, "For some time prior to even the first blog's posting date?"

Something like reddened skin and a grouping of needle marks on the temples or forehead or whatever. Maybe bloodshot eyes too. Or hair styles where a small circular patch of hair is missing (at the extraction/injection site).
Saw the fan-made concept art for this on Reddit, +1.
Make the impure ones readily visible.

over those 2 weeks i've mined over 5b. after expenses i still have 4b.
now i face ANOTHER 2 weeks of mining(now in my barge) until i can use a manticore or confessor.
Confirming that if you cannot fly either a manticore or a confessor, literally the only thing you can do is mine.
