why are skills locked for alpha clones?

WTF did I just read?

Skill limitations are so central to the concept of the alpha clone that you may as well be asking why water is wet.

perhaps but why is water wet? honestly i dont know

atleast let me keep those skills that i have already trained and why is it seperate in the first place it only leads to frustration if you fight an omega as an alpha and you both have the same ship the omega will always win becuase he does like 10% more damage or has 5% more shield or better drones why arent just the ships locked but all the skills are accesible and why lock my skills lets say ive been playing since 2008 im not but just for example i left the game for 1 year and now i come back only to find all my stuff locked behind a paywall if you payed for 1 year thats more than 100$ why dont you get permanent omega you already paid ccp enough and alot of people probaly wont reach this point

i understand that ccp needs to make money but and im no expert they must be making alot more than they actually need it just feels like its a tiny bit pay to win as an alpha clone is no match for an omega one and wont it give new players a bad expirience to get rekt without being capable of fighting back with a chance to win

"they must be making alot more than they actually need"

i understand that battle ships and carriers are locked and playing with a navy cruiser is fine but why when my omega runs out all of my omega skills get locked? atleast let me keep those skills that i have already trained and why is it seperate in the first place it only leads to frustration if you fight an omega as an alpha and you both have the same ship the omega will always win becuase he does like 10% more damage or has 5% more shield or better drones why arent just the ships locked but all the skills are accesible and why lock my skills lets say ive been playing since 2008 im not but just for example i left the game for 1 year and now i come back only to find all my stuff locked behind a paywall if you payed for 1 year thats more than 100$ why dont you get permanent omega you already paid ccp enough and alot of people probaly wont reach this point

This is a troll thread. I hope.

You're paying $0/mo, and you feel you aren't getting your $0/mo worth from the game?

The real question is if alpha limitations give people the desire to sub. In the case of my friends that I attempt to introduce to the game the answer is a flat out: no. Not one single friend of about 20 has stayed longer than a couple days in eve.

What were their issues with EVE? What were their expectations, when they started playing?

This kind of thinking is what is wrong with the world.

"This bank surly has more money than they need, I think I shall make a withdrawal, at night, by force."

"Surely this elderly women has more purses than she needs, I think I shall do her a favor and take this one, by force."

Extremes but they get my point across.
