My secondary account character is being biomassed, my main will follow later this week.
I see no point in playing anymore, I have invested (real life money) in injectors and maxed out last skills I have ever wanted / planned to have. I have had around 55 billions ISKs in wallet and all the ships I need/want. More importantly I can buy everything for real life money, there is simply no point in doing anything anymore. But people will still not call it pay to win (just because you can beat other player in pvp because you are personally better skilled player doesn-¦t change the fact you can now buy basically anything in this game for real life money, you know...).
So at the moment I need to sell rest of my items and I have already bought like 45 PLEX (hopefully I can get much higher when I sell the 30 mils skill points I can) I will distribute between my friends before I leave (or I could take them to shuttle for a fly ). At least they can stop farming for a while (farming to plex account) and actually have some fun.
Have fun guys o7 |

Eve's greatest strength has always been that you had to earn, learn and grow within Eve, you learnt how skills, ship's, fittings, weapons, industry et all worked
You did this by training skills and working things out with corp buddies, you also valued your skill points, after all some skills could take you 30 or more days to train for
So now you can pay some Isk and buy an injector and jump up your skills, you have lost more than what you think you have gained
You have lost that value, teamwork and understanding element that you had when before this "feature" you had respec'ed your attributes, stuffed implants into your head asked your buddies how to get towards your goal and train, all these things that made Eve, Eve
...
Learning how to fit a ship hasn't changed.
I boosted this character by 18.5 million sp as I'm sure a lot of you already know.
Which doesn't mean I know anymore about the game than I did before, the learning process has not been effected, you still have to learn. Players will still have to learn how to play and how to fit their ships.
All I gained was the ability to do more things, it also evened up a solo fight with a similar ship in terms of sp but only sp.
Teamwork hasn't been effected, not sure why you even said it was.
I don't respect attributes because they were always more of a hindrance to the game than a help, especially in the earlier stages and the attribute implants at all stages. Unless you were sat in a safe spot with +5 fitted. I'm sure they led to many players not getting involved as they risked the implants as well as tending to keep you training with the main attributes you have set instead of freely being able to choose what to train. IRL you can pick and choose what to train, don't see why that should be any difference here. |

One of the big foundations of this game was for you to live with choices. Choosing from skills available to you within your limited time was one of them. Choosing which skills you need as Vs is another. I've got a set of "must have" skills which end in 7 days, and about 6 months of "nice" skills of various levels of utility to do... something. And my head has a couple of +5s in it, and my cargo bay has a couple more just in case.
If you are willing to blow the money on it, that part of the game is gone. Then again, that consequence for jumping into a wormhole and getting surprised doesn't mean much any more-just bring a clean clone and a cheap fit and make up the "lost" time from implants by buying injectors. Or, put another way, we now have a grind-for-skills "option." The only good thing about it is there are several ways to make kredits.

A few years later I was more than happy to gloat at CCP a bit when the truth finally set in (because it was so obvious and "blue donuty" that it could no longer be ignored). I plan on doing the exact same with this feature, after breaking the space-bank with SP farmed isk...that will probably be about as valuable as a Zimbabwe dollar by then.

I never liked the idea of SP injectors, for me the whole aspect of buying skills to customise your characters in this way goes against one of the most fundamental things I enjoyed about eve. The progression. Everyone was on the same level, you had to think plan and live with choices. Its something that made the game different to everything else. Sure you could buy a character of the bazzar but it wasnt your character... it was someone else's imo a big difference to being able to freely customise your own character.
As has been stated many times over there are still many other aspects of the game not affected yet... but this kind of mindset... oh I can go boost my char by 18.5m sp to give me more choices and options so I can have fun... , skills and progression are not deemed as fun for this new player base. Now that we have given the ability for everyone to just buy their characters skills and make them how they want why have skills at all? Let everyone do everything let everyone be maxed out when a new ship or mod comes into the game just let everyone have access to it instantly.
I really do feel that CCP picked a quick win for an instant cash injection and personally feel that this has probably shortened the life of the game and this fundamental change of philosphy will do more damage in the long term. It certainly has devalued EVE for me.

While i do understand the need for CCP to look for alternative ways to keep the game running, I do think it a bit of a slap to the face to the older playerbase who spent a good year or more training their characters, planning and choosing their paths carefully, only to find themselves suddenly roaming around 4 year old equal SP chars in the end, and who have it given to them all on a silver platter.
Some form compensation from CCP for the older playerbase, as in, a free SP injector for instance, to retransfer the lost SP some of the old characters might have, would've been a nice move, but not something I'd expect from them anyway. |

The old system worked great for EVE for a very long time. But it was not sustainable in perpetuity. You can tell new players a thousand times that they can be successful and have fun even with 5m SP... if you are that new player and seemingly everyone else has 150m SP, it's just not fun. And buying a character someone else created is not for everyone... I for instance would rather have quit EVE than play a character I didn't make myself.
Now ambitious new players have a way to grind (or scam oder pay etc) their way to faster progress. Even if they never buy significant amounts of SP for lack of the ISK, they know that way is potentially available, which already changes the outlook. We veterans may have misgivings, but it was simply necessary for EVE's long-term viability.

That's because both the real life political system and EVE have one thing in common: Short sighted naive human beings that don't realize they have ideological blind spots.
It's happened soooo many times in EVE. CCP comes out with something, the folks who proclaim they 'care' about the little guy rejoice (because this will SURELY break up the big blocs!!!!), only to find out that the thing CCP just did benefits the fat cats and screws the little guy.....again . So it turns out that the guys rejoicing were actually celebrating the fact that the people they support got hurt and their enemies thrived lol.
This is mainly because the little guy is the little guy because he has little guy (fail) ways (and not because of some fat cat injustice), and the fat cat is the fat cat because he LIVES to turn lemons into lemonade, which is how he got fat in the 1st place. No amount of real world legislating or game world feature creation can overcome this. |

I would very much agree with this if the skill system would be totally removed from the game. But I doubt new players will wish to invest thousands of Euro to catch up (lazy to count how much it would cost) - they simply won-¦t have the ISK to pay for it with in-game currency. Also many new players may be simply discouraged by this (p2w) and might not even try the game if they know about this option ahead. |

Frankly, telling new players that, even as they might feel outnumbered in SPs, they can just pay again to close that gap is not exactly a good selling point. "Pay again" being the issue here.

Or if those new players have "friends" that are already in Eve and established they would pick up some skill injectors for them. It makes my life easier to give them 5 million sp off the bat and if they stay for the year give them another 20 million to top them off so they can fly at least half of the things I am flying.
If you actually took 5 secs to really examine their rants it really in nothing but a temper tantrum and that the game is yet again adapting. It really has no effect and the chances of new players dropping $600 (costs $300 if you already have alts) into a brand new game unless they have friends already in it is still pretty slim. Think a lot of the tears are from being unable to afford it when they first played the game is my guess . |

To use your numbers...
Boosting character to decent SPs in EVE online - 600 USD Buying maxed out character in WoW - 60 USD

Some of us wanted our gameplay to mean something (in the context of the game of course). Personally, I wouldn't have started playing EVE if it offered this kind of "short cut for cash" option in 2007, which is why i don't start new games that do that now.
They introduced PLEX a year after I started playing and that was a stretch but I could understand needing to counter illegal RMT, but SP trading doesn't combat any ills (it stands to make them worse as the rich players get richer off the backs of new players).

EVE devalued itself the day they introduced PLEX and allowed character trading.
You could just buy a pre-trained char and pay for ships by selling plex.
This is just a new version of that, that was the end of the true sandbox.

The 'gameplay' of time progression is/was that it forced you to take time. So you have to figure out how to play at level 3 of some kill until it got to level 4 and there was no way aorund that (except buying a character which was expensive and clunky).
That way of progressing (rather than grinding for or paying for "skills/experience" like in other games) slowed the game down, and gave actions meaning. Even more so when you could lose SP when getting podded if you didn't upgrade your clone.
"Meaning" has value in a video game (so does "loss", another thing CCP has dampend down over the last few years). in fact, it's the only thing that does because this is a game (a pass time). That's why other games use micro transactions, their games have nothing to offer after the 'new shiney' affect wheres off so they use micro transactions and pay to win features to suck the money out from the front end.
The fact that you don't understand why EVE's form of time based progression was so important isn't odd, because CCP just demonstrated they don't know either lol. You, (like them) will eventually learn, but it would have been better if they (and you) could have seen it coming before hand.

Yeah, it did work for sometime, but the game is getting old it was no longer really working. So they had to do something. Question is did they choose the right option. It's not a bad option but I'm not sure as yet if it was the best option.

1- Buy PLEX 2- Sell PLEX on market 3- Buy character 4- Skip grind 5- ??????? 6- Profit
Ever since that existed, the slow grind was officially only a speed bump over which you could jump. Pretending the game was more "pure" before SP trading is silly. The only difference is you can make smaller transfer. Hoarding SP in the same character has lower effectiveness anyway.I for example will probably never get a good use of my freighter skill as long as I am in Null, Those SP on an alt would of been a much better options which mean an alt is still a better option in most case. The only downside of alts is support skill have to be "earned" again. The rest is pure bonus since you can use the character for different jobs much more easily.
Everyone who thinks about it know alts are better in at least 99% of the use case in the game. |

Nope. IT was still working. The game was not failing and even if you want to say it is, the SP system is not the reason for it. |

Am I correct in thinking that you would object to SP trading even if the Extractors were free? That is, don't involve any real-world money cost? (And would you object to SP trading if PLEX and AUR didn't exist at all?)

Yeah, it did work for sometime, but the game is getting old it was no longer really working. So they had to do something. Question is did they choose the right option. It's not a bad option but I'm not sure as yet if it was the best option. Nope. IT was still working. The game was not failing and even if you want to say it is, the SP system is not the reason for it.
There's more than one reason, amongst them how long it takes go get into the game, in-game communications plus others |

Am I correct in thinking that you would object to SP trading even if the Extractors were free? That is, don't involve any real-world money cost? (And would you object to SP trading if PLEX and AUR didn't exist at all?)
The extractors not being free don't matter, although they are not cosmetic items they are just containers. |
