Feedback appreciate as always

Last, it's great that you gave us more insight into the project, which should have happened in your first post. But you took a LOT of feedback and changed....nothing. Fine, but you didn't tell us anything from 50+ pages of feedback that you were willing to look into changing. You just told us how we are wrong. Why solicit our feedback in the first place? This is the old way of CCP doing things, (post a feature, gather feedback, tell players how they are wrong rather than being collaborative) and it's extremely frustrating.

We are taking your feedback seriously and if we don't make any changes before release we will absolutely be following up shortly after release with changes based on feedback and behavior.

Are there really people who are against this because they see EVE as a game that "everyone does progress equally"?
That died with the skill injectors

Everyone who starts EVE nowadays has the same issues eventually:
Can't compete with much higher SP players.
Can't compete with much higher ISK players.

New players are likely to quit the game because of these issues.

Being unable to catch up has more to do with financial capital and assets.
...
This phenomena is of course very natural since they game mechanics look the way they do. But the sad part is that it kind of goes against the whole "build your dreams, do what you want"-crap that CCP tries to sell off Eve as.

my account is from 2008

If you seriously believe that there's no critical competition between players i terms of resources, capital and assets, and that "mere elbowgrease and hard work" will land you in a position of ruling a nullsec region, then there's really no need for me to continue discussing the matter with you because your stance blatantly ignores the critical aspect of player interaction and it's ramifications on the success and failure of people trying to settle and conquer null sec systems.

The newbro's either get sucked into those coalitions, or decide not to bother with Null because they are 500 titans too late to the game.

CCP will of course, almost certainly not admit this, because anyone with a brain could see it wasn't going to significantly affect concurrent login numbers right from the get go, and therefore that argument has to have been a facade for whatever their real reason for introducing the level grind to EVE was.

[quote=Black Pedro ]Can anybody tell me what's the reason to have prequisites? Other that CCP making money on skills injectors while they would have 3 time more players (and more money) if all of them could fly all ships from day 1 only on different levels?

So how 'bout it CCP Rise? Any chance of an update on how the feature is working or at least some time frame on when you will evaluate the success of the feature and announce further iterations?
