Pastor Maldonado paid to win. And could barely keep his car out of the wall. Not sad at all to see him leave the sport. I remember one race in particular (I think it was during an FP session) the commentors were at a loss for words. The in car camera clearly showed him messing with controls on the wheel and he wasnt even looking up. Ran his car straight through the corner and into a wall.  If Maldonado is an example of p2w its a perfect analogy for eve players injecting sp. You can have all the shiny ships and skills you want but it wont keep you from driving straight into a wall.
Oh man I think that was FP at Hungary(?) when he did that. I remember It was something like one race after he did the exact same thing in FP but didn't hit a wall the first time. So glad he's gone. (Don't do it Manor!)
It saddens me that he holds William's last victory. |

Just a question and nothing personal falcon but who brainwashed you? Your collegues of controlling or marketing?
Funny how a lot (I'm not saying it was you) of players used to say 'nah, you don't need skills to PvP, you need experience!' to new pilots before CCP introduced the skill injectors.  However true it may be, though, it doesn't matter if you take two players with the same level of experience. Among two newbies who don't know anything about the game, the one who can dump hundreds of dollars into the game has the edge over the one who can't. Same with Veterans. Now let's take those same two players with the same level of experience, and go back to EVE Online without skill extractors. The one who can dump hundreds of dollars buys a character from the character bazaar, the one who can't, won't. The outcome between those two players will be exactly the same, namely that one has an edge over the other.
Except that the one could click on the show info and see that the 2009 character probably has more skill points. The edge could be known now it's not. |

The edge could be known now it's not. Do you do that? Look at a character's age before deciding how/whether to engage in PvP? I don't. I look at what they're flying. What friends they have the next system over. Whether they've brought in a boosting T3. I never give even a first thought to their age.
Sure why wouldn't you, it's a piece of intel (well used to be until the skill extractors). Don't do it so much anymore, but especially early on as a new player it was a good indication if you'd be fighting someone with T2 fittings or metta. It still comes in handy if you need to figure out which character is in which ship you're about to jump into.
I don't really care too much either way about the extractors. Just pointing out that a piece of intel was lost and one that probably mattered more to new players than the rest of us. |
