If you don't have to be in a fleet to apply the boost, does that mean even the enemy fleet that is close up will receive your boosts ? Does this mean we will soon see boosting battleships ?? I do like the idea of receiving my own boosts. |

second post on page one says... Q: Will a pilot be affected by his/her own boosts? A: Yes, even if they are not in a fleet
I read it wrong.. sigh it means I can solo boost.. my bad

Ratting: about 20h Incursions : about 10h Exploration : about 15h ... Mining : about 80h
tell me again how mining boosts are optional! Seems the answer is clear, do something other than mine for PLEX. PLEXing an account isn't an entitlement and not an argument for a reason that the activity requiring the lowest level of interaction of those on your list should require more time to obtain it. So yes, it's still optional, because PLEXing is optional.
No one plexing, no plex sales, no money for CCP. Seems reasonable to ignore those that plex

making them stop on warp and accel gates would give an advantage to ppl already in plexs in FW as they could have their booster boost and then warp off where you could not boost and warp in Disagree, you would see on d scan and a toon in local going criminal. Also proper links would not get in novices where men fight.
"Men" currently with boosting alts sitting safely in a POS. Not sure these "Men" will be quiet as manly after the change. |

Remember, time is something we can never get back. And CCP should respect the time we have given them. I can't be the only one who feels this way.
While there's entitlement enough to go around, "I feel I deserve it," isn't really that compelling of an argument, even from multiple people. As soon as they opened that door, they would go from the very neat criteria for reimbursement that currently exists to an unending clusterfuck of arguments over which changes are significantly "radical" to warrant it. It's a living ruleset, you invest time into it at your own risk, accept it and move on. And here i was thinking I was making an argument with legitimate reasons. I also wasnt aware they had a criteria for SP reimbursements documented. I would agree with you about accepting and moving on if this was one of their usual rounds of balancing. However, this is not a balancing. It is a complete overhaul of a game mechanic. A mechanic that happens to have a hefty SP requirement that goes along with it. And this is not the only time this has happened. CCP's rule about SP reimbursement is pretty clear. You only get it if they remove the skill from the game. The leadership skills remain in game and they do have a legitimate use. If you choose to no longer use them, that's really not CCP's issue.
I think you missing the point. Some people have an account they use just for boosting, that account is now redundant. Its a cash investment which to many is considered wasted. You will not be able to sell boosting toons after the change, so you stuck with it. Allow people to move the skills so the toon can become useful again. Its not a bad ask in my opinion. I don't have a boosting toon, so I a unaffected, but you need to look at it from the other side of the coin.
