Hello, I have not commented much and I did not read every post here but I just wanted to post my thoughts.
Its seems many people here have forgotten this game is a sandbox. If you went to the beach, what would you rather look at, someone who piled 500 pounds of sand in a pile or someone who sculpted a miniature ship out of a small pile of about 1-2 pounds of sand? Skills by themselves are only as good as those who wield them. Just focusing on leveling skills is like piling sand into a formless pile that looks like crap. Why should we be so impressed by a big pile of sand just because there is more of it? Isn't the sculpture far more impressive?
In eve online, as you know, skill training is passive. If your only goal is to focus on your skills, then other a few things like buying implants, the only thing you will be doing is staring at your screen. In my opinion, if you do that, your playing eve poorly.
Another thing about the Skill Extractors that must be understood is that it is a trade-off. I know there are many 'rich' people in eve online, but I think people here are vastly over-estimating just how rich they are and just how many they are. I know I am just a poor lonely explorer who just struggles to survive, but ISK is not infinite. While there are many rich people, even they just they can't all easily drop all the ISK necessary to skill up, as they'd lose out.
Just think about all the things you can do for the price of one skill injector, about 600million ISK. Almost any activity you can do in eve online, whether its mining, exploring and pvp, would almost certainly benefit from having 600 million more ISK to spend with. Everything in eve online is a trade-off. If you decide to spend billions on SKillpoints, than thats billions of ISK less for Ships, modules and etc. And isn't the whole point of having skills in the first place so you can do all the cool things you want to do in Eve online? All you gotta do is look at the marketplace and see how many people are selling. All the people selling want the ISK more they want the skills. Because they know the ISK will take them farther.
And yes, I understand that the injection of real money from the real world in order to gobble up skill-points may concern some people, but it's still a trade-off. Being worried about someone using all their resources to buy skill points is like being worried about someone piling big piles of sand on a beach. It's really not a concern, and you ought to focus on doing something with your own sand instead. If you think eve online is about who has the 'biggest pile' of sand, than I don't think your going to have a good time, and also, your going to lose....Isn't eve online a lot more than just gaining sp?
