Yes that's another thing I've been trying to explain to people but alas. This whole "think of the newbies" is (as it always has been) a lie. Newbies will look at this, see a whiff of P2W and go "so I have to pay extra to catch up" and won't even bother playing. There's only four reasons people are in favour of this idea.
a) they want to get rid of some skills because their OCD demands it (so it's for selfish reasons)
b) they have some old high SP chars they don't have a use for any more and they'll bleed that one for personal use (so for selfish reasons)
c) they see a new market they can dive into, preferably one where they create their own supply and demand, quite possibly with RMT in mind (so for selfish reasons). This is what large "newbro" entities will be doing
d) someone rich going "lol, I'll make an OP alt. This will be fun"
So CCP, and parts of the CSM it seems, listened to their :logic: about how it would be good for the game & newbies and they gobbled it up, they fell for it because they're not intelligent enough to see through it. And personally I'm not interested in playing a game who's DEVS are too stupid to poop to a point where they require constant "wtf are you doing CCP" by each and every CSM, year after year. THIS time CCP did something truly ******** and I want no part of it.
Goodbye EVE. |

A lot of people are very afraid that people with a big CC can get high on skill-points very quick.
To mitigate that I proposed in the original thread that you could make a limit for players in amounts of packages consumed.
Say, 2 each year.
Then you can progress a jump forward, but you limit growth overall.

CCP Phantom wrote:A couple months ago we introduced the idea of Skill Trading which resulted in lots of valuable feedback. After going through a lot of feedback while refining the design, we would like to be add Skill Trading to New Eden and it is currently scheduled for our February release. Please read the latest blog from CCP Rise and Team Size Matters Skill trading in New Eden for all the details. We welcome all your feedback, thank you!
I want to start by saying I like the concept but this is the typical business model we come to except from CCP? Milk you customers until they're dry? Are we to expect every new feature will have some type of monetary value attached it. Seriously think about what your about to do and the message its sending to the community.
Why do we need to have an AUR item other than it puts money in CCP pocket. STOP this now before you **** off more of your customers.
Simple solution.
1. allow players to extract any level of any skill by using the skill book of the skill in question and attach the level extracted onto the skill book which player can then sell on the open market to whomever.
2. allow players to extract SP to a SP pool on the character to distribute how they feel. this should have a cost involved and should have something similar to jump fatigue so that players aren't change there skills weekly.
Done. See when you stop seeing your customers as cash cows, it ends up being really simple.

Using this feature takes someones money, but no one ever stated that was free.

Their is no reason for it to have a monetary value to it. Other than to put money into CCP pockets. which they get enough from subscriptions already! Next you will be charged for docking and undocking at NPC stations. Please insert CC here to dock!
Enjoy paying for your new feature, ill spend my money on something more entertaining.

Now a Corp will not have to lower their standards to try and get more people into their Corp. They will simply tell new players that they need to spend $60-80 a month on this game their first few months to get them into a position isk and skill point wise to make themselves worth having around.
Now eager players who want to play the game but want to take short cuts to get into the good game play have the perfect game supported mechanic to get the good gear and skills to fly it, before "they" are even ready.
Now new players will be told they need to spend $50 plus a month for a few months at least before anyone will look at them for joining a Corp.
Now the skill point / isk barrier is simply a real life money barrier.
And now Corps can take the easy way out and simply tell new players, "pay up to join up" instead of "skill up to join up".
I think that will turn many prospective new players away from this game.
But I know, the decision has been made because of the potential new cash flows the company may see...
But they are now "burning the candle from both ends".
The lost cash flows may be greater than the gained ones when it is all said and done. Sometimes greed and taking or making available the easy way out is not in the best corporate interest.

Couple more solutions to the issues people have. Sorry, I'm an engineer, it's what I do.
1) It takes just as long to drain skills INTO an extractor as it takes to TRAIN them. The injector works like a cerebral accelerator, doubling your training time for the next X Million skillpoints.
No instant alts. No waking up a popsicle to bleed 10 years of skills in 10 minutes.
2) Extract a skill. That's what the injector holds. That's all it holds, just that skill, NOT SP.
New players could probably pick up Mining V for 250K + injector cost (make em cheap).
3) Cooldown, like jump clones or jump fatigue. Roll in a whole set of skills and implants to manage it.
You can inject once a month at 100% efficiency... Train Cyber Learning to V and it's only 21 days!
I think the "instant" bit is what I'm hung up on the most. Put some brakes on the SP both out of the old toon and into the new one.

CCP can you please have the skill point extractor "Extract" 512,000 SP instead of "500,000". 500,000 does not make sense the way skills are right now. if you inject SP you will have 12,000 left over if you try to get lvl5 in 2 level 1 skills and or 1 level 2 skills.

Well I guess this is final nail in the game for me. This is yet another thing that I feel that is ruining EVE for me personally. I haven't been happy about a few things lately but this is the final straw for me. I can see what they are trying to do with this change however it hurts the game more than it helps it IMO. So hopefully all my subs running out will give them enough of idea of my distaste time to move onto other better games. |

Having thought about this a bit more, I'm beginning to think that CCP would prefer to implement a direct PLEX-for-skill-points scheme but that they may be too afraid to do that just yet. Prior player backlash over radical feature changes may have taught them to make changes more incrementally to test player acceptance. More importantly, though, gradual change can be a tool to *condition* players to eventually accept something they otherwise might revolt en masse over.
I think that's the target endgame for this feature: direct PLEX-for-skill points. No skill extractor nonsense, no pretense of "experienced players being kind to new players and giving them skill points", etc. This is all just a facade to get players to swallow a bitter pill before making the REAL intended game change in another year or so.
If this is the plan, that would help to explain why they've ignored all of the negative feedback that they received the first time this idea was mentioned a few months ago. I think they've already decided this and are prepared to ignore all player protests until and unless they see a real drop in financial revenue after doing this.
Clearly they don't regard players as customers to be served but rather as sheep to be herded wherever CCP wants them to go.

For example on a toonie with 65 million SP, can I just move 5 million SP from my mining skills and dump them into my leadership skills, or do I need to use the injector/extractor and lose a percentage of my skill points?
Hell no you will pay a fistfull of dollars to extract them out and another fistfull to put them back. The goal is Maximum CCP profits remember. This will make CCP lots of money but it will also be very rewarding in the short term for us. Overall I think it reduces the feel of the patience vs reward game and that is a bad thing on the other hand I can't wait to get 10,000,000 in drone skillpoints overnight.

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. 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.

Clearly they don't regard players as customers to be served but rather as sheep to be herded wherever CCP wants them to go. The problem is that this supposed target endgame is an indefensible position whether injectors are in place or not. Unless you're considering the plan to be a complete churn of the player-base within the scope of this plan it doesn't play out. Those that are in favor of this are in favor as is, from what I've seen of support posts anyways, under parallels to existing mechanics and functions.
Your slippery slope calculated end point doesn't have that and is entirely dependent on people just forgetting the principles the game should have. While I like the addition of the implications there that everyone who isn't strongly against this is soft in the head for not buying the doom prophecies your selling on top of in time suggesting we'd just roll over and accept a change we do have issue with, maybe we could be given the benefit of the doubt that we're actually capable of evaluating these ideas and how they affect what we want the game to be.
More than that the method doesn't even make sense with the conclusion. Dilute your potential market with player sourced SP at variable rates which limits your own sustainable price point? Good plan. One you can't walk away from without a pretty obvious handover of mechanics that has to screw someone over.
Further this IS pretty radical. Very much so as judged by the reaction. If the goal was non-controversial they failed spectacularly and should have retreated rather than proceeded given the first thread. And I doubt the reaction was much less so than the alternative end goal you suggest would generate.
That this is proceeding despite the feedback here is a bit surprising, but not as much given the complete opposite tone seemingly present on reddit. And rest assured even here they DID get positive feedback, a great deal of it which appeared throughout the ragefest that was the original thread.

CSM Elections?
I don't have a problem with skill extraction/injection, but why not simplify the process of redistributing SP for a given character?
Havng played the game for many years, I've trained all kinds of random stuff that seemed like a good idea at the time, but never actually use (PI anyone?) Being able to transfer the SP from those bad decisions to another skill seems fair enough to me - I've already spent the time (and ISK) training it. |

Yes that's another thing I've been trying to explain to people but alas. This whole "think of the newbies" is (as it always has been) a lie. Newbies will look at this, see a whiff of P2W and go "so I have to pay extra to catch up" and won't even bother playing. There's only four reasons people are in favour of this idea. a) they want to get rid of some skills because their OCD demands it (so it's for selfish reasons) b) they have some old high SP chars they don't have a use for any more and they'll bleed that one for personal use (so for selfish reasons) c) they see a new market they can dive into, preferably one where they create their own supply and demand, quite possibly with RMT in mind (so for selfish reasons). This is what large "newbro" entities will be doing d) someone rich going "lol, I'll make an OP alt. This will be fun" So CCP, and parts of the CSM it seems, listened to their :logic: about how it would be good for the game & newbies and they gobbled it up, they fell for it because they're not intelligent enough to see through it. And personally I'm not interested in playing a game who's DEVS are too stupid to poop to a point where they require constant "wtf are you doing CCP" by each and every CSM, year after year. THIS time CCP did something truly ******** and I want no part of it. Goodbye EVE.
I had him blocked so didn't see this. Now I see that Gregor Parud has been biomassed.
That's one standout. o7 Gregor Parud (the character).

Prior player backlash over radical feature changes may have taught them to make changes more incrementally to test player acceptance. More importantly, though, gradual change can be a tool to *condition* players to eventually accept something they otherwise might revolt en masse over.
I think that's the target endgame for this feature: direct PLEX-for-skill points. No skill extractor nonsense, no pretense of "experienced players being kind to new players and giving them skill points", etc. This is all just a facade to get players to swallow a bitter pill before making the REAL intended game change in another year or so.
If this is the plan, that would help to explain why they've ignored all of the negative feedback that they received the first time this idea was mentioned a few months ago. I think they've already decided this and are prepared to ignore all player protests until and unless they see a real drop in financial revenue after doing this.
Clearly they don't regard players as customers to be served but rather as sheep to be herded wherever CCP wants them to go. The problem is that this supposed target endgame is an indefensible position whether injectors are in place or not. Unless you're considering the plan to be a complete churn of the player-base within the scope of this plan it doesn't play out. Those that are in favor of this are in favor as is, from what I've seen of support posts anyways, under parallels to existing mechanics and functions. Your slippery slope calculated end point doesn't have that and is entirely dependent on people just forgetting the principles the game should have. While I like the addition of the implications there that everyone who isn't strongly against this is soft in the head for not buying the doom prophecies your selling on top of in time suggesting we'd just roll over and accept a change we do have issue with, maybe we could be given the benefit of the doubt that we're actually capable of evaluating these ideas and how they affect what we want the game to be. More than that the method doesn't even make sense with the conclusion. Dilute your potential market with player sourced SP at variable rates which limits your own sustainable price point? Good plan. One you can't walk away from without a pretty obvious handover of mechanics that has to screw someone over. Further this IS pretty radical. Very much so as judged by the reaction. If the goal was non-controversial they failed spectacularly and should have retreated rather than proceeded given the first thread. And I doubt the reaction was much less so than the alternative end goal you suggest would generate. That this is proceeding despite the feedback here is a bit surprising, but not as much given the complete opposite tone seemingly present on reddit. And rest assured even here they DID get positive feedback, a great deal of it which appeared throughout the ragefest that was the original thread. It is a shame many of the r/e posters openly admit to no longer actually play the game, with many more simply playing skill cues online. This is of course the best group to garner feedback from, isn't it..
Tiberius - Try doing a show all posts on the original r/e thread, Reddit has a very special way of "hiding" posts - If a Dev thread becomes too "anti eve" it is soon "moderated".
My opinions are mine.
If you don't like them or disagree with me that's OK.- - - - - -

My question is: How is this going to help bringing in newer players?
Free tip: CCP gave up bringing in new players when the Rubicon Plan was introduced on November 2014. Since then they've gone full ahead with splitting the content into slices of slices of the same old cake.
Point in case: Drifter Incursion runners as a minority within the Incursion runner minority.

I wasn't a fan when this was first brought to the CSM. I still have concerns over it, but I've been talking with some of the proponents (players) for the idea, and what they're saying has some merit. My main concern stems from the "I have to pay how much to catch up?" reaction it may cause in some new players.
And for everyone who thinks that this will help new players I'll cite again one of CSM members.
So, how much, CCP? |

Tiberius - Try doing a show all posts on the original r/e thread, Reddit has a very special way of "hiding" posts - If a Dev thread becomes too "anti eve" it is soon "moderated". Ironically, even if that were an accurate representation of the population, wouldn't that make their input all the more relevant? After all skill queue online is the part of the game most being shaken up. Everything else operates as normal.
Further reddit is an echo chamber, the posts you see (without sorting for controvertials) are those that are popular by it's function. No one said people didn't disagree there, but by the functions of reddit the popular views rise to the top. |
