So a few mentally unstable/attention whores max out the SP on a few characters? How exactly does this affect the majority of players?
I'll tell you. Not in the least.
You people kill me, sometimes.

Thx in advance *sigh* CCP has destroyed this game as its now P2W yawn so ironbank is officiallly the strongest and most elite character in the game, undefeatable because he paid to win and nobody is as high ranked as him because thats what pay2win is right? its not winning its just epeen, nothing more, showing off how he has so much isk to be able to do pointless things He is not undefeatable. No one is. You should try PVP more before making such stupid statements. Insert lookhowthatwentrightoveryourhead.gif here.

As any of us know that have been playing for a while, SP is not that important. And it isn't. It's what you do with it that's important. And you don't need a lot of it to do some fun stuff.
Here's the thing. Most new people coming from other MMOs can't wrap their coddled little carebear brains around the difference between SP and experience. So they have a hard time getting into this game not because of the SP disparity being important, but because they perceive that it's important and they are not easily dissuaded from this idea.
So CCP are wisely using that unshakable belief to attract and keep new players. New players that would quit because they are indoctrinated into the common MMO dogma that more SP makes you a better player and they can never hope to catch up to the vets. New players that will soon learn that this game is different, but not until after investing a lot of time and money into it thus making it worth their while to stick around and acquire some actual experience.
The more I think about it, the more I truly believe that this new mechanic is possibly the best idea for new player attraction and retention that CCP could have come up with.

I naively bought 6 month sub packages for all my accounts (a $770.00 waste) one week before CCP posted that 2nd skilltrading Devblog which is why I'm so pissed about this (both at myself and CCP). So unfortunately my accounts don't expire until sometime in July, but it will be the last time I pay CCP a single penny.
Seriously, Daniela.
Every time you post, you have a different lame story as to why you are still here but are leaving real soon.
For you and all the other people no one cares about. Just leave and get it over with, for Christ's sake. If angst were contagious this forum would be in quarantine.

It's almost what Mr Epeen said a few posts further up; Quote: Most new people coming from other MMOs can't wrap their coddled little carebear brains around the difference between SP and experience. My coddled little brain is wrapped around the fact that EVE's skill progression was different and was equally harsh to everyone, but now there's a fast track. It's not quite like grinding in other MMOs but it does change the perception on skills. Equally harsh? Harsh? Seriously?
It's about the least harsh thing in the game. You never even needed to be logged in to acquire it. You still don't. I actually see the 12 to 22 million SP characters I sell for about an hour every six months. Not exactly a harsh grind.
You remember learning skills, right?
They got rid of them because they served no purpose to advancing game play. Neither does artificially restricting the speed you get to train...everyone gets train...for being subbed. It accomplishes nothing and is about a dated as the game in general.
Most of the vets that post here are like FOX viewers with their average age of 72 years old. Stuck in the rut of past memories. The 'good old days'. If they were so good, then we'd not have moved past them.
No. The time for the EVE equivalent of walking twelve miles uphill both ways in a perpetual blizzard to school every morning are long passed. The dinosaurs will soon be extinct and I'll be damned if I let them take my favorite game with them.

Hasikan Miallok wrote:Simple really ...
Old EVE you subbed 24/7 even if you were on a fishing trawler with no internet for 6 months as SP was not grindable.
New EVE you can grind SP just like everything else - so you are actually free to unsub during the periods you cannot play much.
Is this a big change to the EVE ethos at a meta level - yes a huge change with massive implications.
Is this a POSITIVE change? Maybe, maybe not, I am reserving my opinion on that as it is currently all conjecture. That option is certainly valid...for a few. But if everyone starts doing it, there will be no injectors to buy after a while since no one will be subbed to be farming it for sale.
Some interesting times ahead, for sure.

For some players it is only now dawning on them how it is going to affect the game, as others like Ironinject, or whatever his name is, follow in his footsteps and depreciate the years of work by players who trained skills with time. Shell out some bucks, and you too can have more skill points than Dr. Caymus!
To the underlined.
It's those freaking players that are breaking down their characters to sell. Where do you think the injectors come from?
Stop putting these vets on some kind of pedestal and stop pretending you are bedazzled by the aura of pure goodness surrounding them. They're the ones taking advantage of this. If they weren't selling off all their SP, there'd be none to buy.

So that means that a typical blob vs blob scenario goes something like this then: "Target that hurricane...no wait, he has maxed out all BC skills and medium projectiles and whatnot else, go for that other hurricane...he is a newbie scrub!".... On a personal level after spending a long time maxing out armor comps to 5 and waiting that time then being in a trial by fire and watching your ship take the full brunt of the enemies fleet being within a hair of exploding into hull... and then being saved at the last second by guardian reps and saying to yourself thank god I spent that time on those skills or I would be in a pod and then in a new pod... and now realizing that no one else has to wait like you did its all available right now if you pay for it. and the price you paid in time investment. the choices you made with your meager skill points for what you wanted to do... does not matter now as its all available... right now. that cheapens the whole experience in ways beyond description to the point of futility. To be honest, I could care less what others do. I have no real intention of using skill injectors on such a grand scale or if at all. It wont affect my gameplay whatsoever. And I am not so petty as to think about what other suddenly can or cannot do where the means doesn't change the end result. Couldn't. Couldn't care less. If you have no interest, then you couldn't - not could - care less.
I was watching one of the GOP debates the other day and even these supposed well read and educated bastions of conservatism were saying it wrong.
What has happened to the first world that so many people get so many common phrases so wrong?

Many skill points have been lost, that means the remaining SP become more valuable because there are fewer in the game.
And what did he realy gain?
Can he have more research or factory jobs then anybody else?
Does he more damge in any ship?
Can he mine more?
Can he jump further?
Does his ship fly faster, more cargo or anything?
That was no "investment" he bought something to brag about. Same thing I'm thinking. Who is stupid enough to spend 1.7 trillion isk on this, for what? To be first?
To get people to use his gambling site?
For the 30,000 views on EB?
To stir up controversy?
I can think of a whole lot more, but you should have the idea.

I'd link some posts from various devs on the topic, but I just don't care about the issue enough. You are welcome to use their crappy search function (Now, that's a legitimate complaint) to find them yourself if you are so inclined.
The long and short of it is that they are not creating anything that wasn't already in the game.

I wonder if he'd be interested in buying my extra copy of the Mobile Factory Operation skill book...  Dr Caymus, I sympathize with you. Being the top dog in amassed SP was your thing and that's been taken away from you.
It sucks, to be sure.
But let's look at the big picture. You two are are an insignificant portion of the players base. You two are outliers. You two are unimportant in your little battle of the SP to the majority of people playing.
Let it go.

Seriously, you can't make this stuff up folks!
Oh wait...you just did.
Worshiping someone because they happened to be subbed longer than anyone else is not only lame, but to say that more than a handful of people knew about it or cared that much is an outright lie.
I think you are confusing people that have made no contribution of note to this game with people like Chribba, who is an actual EVE hero.

Not enough to to live it vicariously through resurrecting long dead threads though.
