It's been a day, surely someone must have dropped the $12k to buy every skill point in the game by now? no?

I have no ridicule for someone with the resources to enjoy a hobby to the fullest. No, my ire is more of those calling out the sky is falling and that EVE has become fully Pay2Win.
I ask here because we're a community, and that would be quite an achievement I doubt someone would keep to themselves. |

I'm not sure its possible for EVE to become pay to win. I personally (as someone with under 40m skill points) would love to fight a brand new player who bought 200m SPs and undocked in a several billion ISK ship. It would be easier to fight that new player than a 10 year vet on a 10 mil SP alt flying a frigate.
Besides, with the ability to get ISK for plex as well as the character bazaar, someone buying skillpoints was already possible. |

I was very much against skill injectors but they way they implemented it works for me. I have > 80 mil SP and could care less if people catch up. I don't like the notion that people are paying for SP that have already been paid for but it's not my money so knock yourself out.

In my opinion, the only way for EVE to become Pay to Win is for there to be a way to insert cash to make someone else's ship immediately explode, or take sov, or mine out a belt. Because really, what is "winning" in EVE? The point has been made countless times that every ship has a max amount of SP it can utilize, and even that fluctuates with fittings. There is no difference between a player with all skills trained, and a player with perfect frigate skills. This is why I support the skill injectors, it helps the individual reach their personal endgame and progression so they can play with the toys they want in the sandbox. |

I'll have to admit I hadn't even thought about this yet. But since the removal of medical clones you once again can theoretically lose everything in EVE. That's pretty cool. Okay, maybe not injected skill books, but still nice.

What is the "natural" maximum, with remap and +5 implants? The fastest you've ever been able to train for any prolonged period of time was 2,772 SP/h, and that was in the period between Apocrypha and Incursion (2009GÇô2010). Previous to that, you could get a bit higher with very specific RBA-builds in relation to specific skill groups, but you couldn't maintain it for very long. After that, the max was 2,700 SP/h.
What you're looking at is a 2003 character that has 10% higher average SP/h over a 13 year period than has ever been possible. It's pretty ridiculous.

Good point!
Perhaps the 21 day old character with 70.8m SP would be a better example (136k SP/h).

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to $$ buy $$ their way past me and right to the top... it seems it took less than 1 day.

So he used 566 injectors to make 84.89mil SP @150K per injector and destroyed 198.1mil SP in doing so paying either roughly 365.07bil isk or $2,546.43 USD plus applicable taxes from CCP for the extractors to do it himself.
Buying the isk would be another option but seeing as that is relative based on who you buy it from its harder to calculate.
I have to agree that I feel bad for Dr Caymus, but I have to agree with Ralph on this one, Dr Caymus is the official winner in that category. At least as we know it as theres always the possibility someone else beat him and didnt say anything but I highly doubt it.
Ultimately what Im curious of is how many SPs will have been destroyed in the first day, first month, first year of this feature. Avg SP destroyed and all the other nifty metrics. Maybe CCP can do a presentation for fanfest of such info. Avg SP per toon, total SP in game, etc, etc.

Errr...I think the RL cash equivalent was a bit more than that. Skill injectors go for about 661-662 million in Jita right now (but there only about 44 or so available) so the RL cash value is probably over $6,000.

It's my opinion that if some dweeb wants to spend his life savings to have the highest SP character, then good for him.
There are people here that want the most ships. Or the most forum posts. Or the most KMs whored. Or any number of things almost no one else cares about.

Like I said to buy the extractors and do it himself. That was based on the packages of 10 injectors directly from CCP which is the best deal for them. Yes the cost if youd buy the isk and then just buy injectors on market would be much higher. The figure I posted would be the cheapest option if he had the available SPs on his own accounts and characters to cannibalism them.

this is funny, soon the forums will be on fire with new players accusing ccp of scamming people out of rl money to buy sp to then get ganked, who knows the gankers could be ccp ganking people so they make more revenue from rich kids

At first I was like "I know Kung Fu", but now that my liquid ISK has dried-up, I'm like "Why, oh why, didn't I take the blue pill?"

All of empire was 0.0, everything seeded in stations for 100 or 1000 ISK (even the big ships). We had cap fights with the devs / GM's in JIta, some of them were flying the polaris ships solo'ing fleets.....and everyone laughed at the people trying to fly capitals through gates.
Sure it was only the test server, but I think everyone had fun and lots got to try out things they never would otherwise. I know at least some players who'd spent a month sat in stations doing learning skills thinking about quitting that changed their minds after trying out ships in that event.
Would be great if they'd repeat that one day (maybe 16th Oct 2017 for a 10yr anniversary or something ?)

I ask here because we're a community, and that would be quite an achievement I doubt someone would keep to themselves. I'm not sure its possible for EVE to become pay to win. I personally (as someone with under 40m skill points) would love to fight a brand new player who bought 200m SPs and undocked in a several billion ISK ship. It would be easier to fight that new player than a 10 year vet on a 10 mil SP alt flying a frigate. Besides, with the ability to get ISK for plex as well as the character bazaar, someone buying skillpoints was already possible.
Our merry crew in our usual cheap-ish PVP fits blapped a noob flying a blingy bomber and his pod with a high grade snake set last night after he came at us on gate. Pretty clear this was a new-ish player who'd thrown down a pile of RL cash for some skill injectors and shinies but had no clue what he's doing. Poor fool.
This whole ISK injector thing will create a brief surge of wannabe pay2win types, who will then hit the very real vertical learning curve of EVE, get fed up and leave.
So we all should stop worrying about it, sell off our unwanted SP and enjoy the ride.

They did this again very recently, I want to say in the past month or two. It was awesome, I got to try out all the Titans, and then realized i have no idea how to Titan. |
