First time posting on the forum since this is the first time I've seen something I felt strongly enough about to write out a response. Dalies are horrible. There's no denying it, they are a chore that makes you feel like logging in every day is something you are almost forced to do if you want to keep up. A new player may see it as "oh boy I can get free sp every day" but anyone with a reasonable amount of sp will see it as a daily grind they have to do with each of their characters. Feeling forced to start up a game every day, especially many times with each alt, is a way to get burned out quickly, and the fact that if you don't you miss out on something that the only other real way to earn it is to just wait is going to lead to a lot of people getting disinterested with the game. It's one thing to offer the opportunity to new players for them to earn sp for the first month or something, but making old players feel like they need to go login 6 times like I do to get the full benefit every day or get left behind is just going to lead to people becoming disinterested. It wouldnt even be that bad if it was say 2k sp each day since that would still give you the option of cutting an hour off training time but wouldn't be too much of a big deal to miss, but with 10k that's enough that you feel obligated to get it, if not for the free sp then for the extractor you can sell every month or two with this sp. And that brings me to another point, the fact that skill extractors/injectors were supposed to represent skills that people had put time into training, like sp has always been, but with this change they will also represent grinding at a painfully slow rate that you can't afford to miss out on. This change seems like it will just lead to people getting frustrated, even the new players since they will feel forced to login, not understanding how much or little 10k sp is worth, just seeing it as free skills and will just lead to burnout.
I want to offer a change at least since my criticism was kind of open ended. Logging into eve to get like 5k skill points per account per day I'd be ok with as a daily. But making some system where you need to hunt down a rat on each of your characters every day just seems stupid and like the type of painfully boring repetitive activity that originally drove me from other games to eve. |
