TLDR Version: I think it raises the bar in EvE to allow players to purchase sp. Easier for newbs to transfer into the game and gives vets more power to complete their goals. So no it won't ruin the game only enhance it.

The upcoming buying sp has got me thinking. Will it be that much of an impact on the game and can a complete newbie with bought skill points surpass vets that do not wish to buy sp? Here's some factors that may effect the game.

So a newbie with crazy cash starts playing and buys a lot of sp on a new char........

1. Knowing Good Fits/Ships to Fly

Getting a good ship/fit requires two things, isk and knowledge whether taken off a forum/battle clinic or taught from a veteran or experience. Isk can be bought so that's not a factor but doing the research and test fits will take time and effort.

2. Rotation

So a newbie has a pimped out ship/fit now what? Knowing what to do and when to do it. This is where "skill" comes in. Best learnt from experience and I believe pvp is better experienced then taught. There is no substitute for experience so vets will def have a leg up on this point. Just because you have a expensive ship/fit does not mean you will be any good at pvp.

3. Reputation

This is where a huge split will be. Since you can't buy a impressive killboard (I think?) new players will obviously have less credibility then a veteran. On the other hand corps/alliances will most likely accept a newbie with a lot of sp and they may just teach him how to use those sp properly.

So that's where I believe newbies will benefit from. Now for the vet alt factor.

1. Increased Accounts

Players will most likely take advantage of this and skill up another alt. More accounts = More money for CCP = Better game? (I think)

2. Encouraged Solo/Alt PvP

A vet gets ahold of a new skilled out alt and multiboxes whether for rr or just to melt face with. This may give a boost to solo/alt pvp which is where this game really shines (imo). I would feel more confident doing solo with a skilled out alt backing me up.

3. Leetness

Suck at the game? Tired of being trampled on? Buy an ewar alt and bang, you just became leet... yes it's that easy (bad joke)

That's it tell me what ya'll think.
