Quote:Other than paying for transfers and game time ANYTHING that affects actually play in EVE revolving around PLEX is absolutely no.
^This^ 100%, we do not want any more micro-transactions.
Quote:And it would crash the character market. Those take serious time and funds to make right. That is why they cost so much.
Actually it would be the opposite in terms of isk. Plex would skyrocket to 2bil+ as everything would get bought up by speculators and large quantities would get dumped into improving characters. Existing characters would then go up in price dramatically to reflect whatever prices plex stabilized at.
Most everyone only playing Eve because they could afford to buy plex in game would quit. Lastly anyone that cared about eve would quit in protest of pay to win.

i think for new players the skilling and getting access to new modules and ships is one of exciting things of eve. it is also part of learning to try out different things you might skip if you got access to "later items" earlier on. if you could just invest 2 extra plex as a "starter kit" you would loose much of this great experience.
if there wasnt the recent changes about the learning skills many players wouldnt be aware there even was a possibility "unallocated skillpoints" ever existed.
Tippia wrote:Yes, I overlooked your limit, but then you still don't solve anything. That point value will simply be the new default starting point and the same complaint will remain. All that does is create a mechanic that people will whinge about having extended for higher and higher numbers because they still don't understand that it isn't needed to begin with.
Again, the EVE skill system already solves this problem. GÇ£Catching upGÇ¥ isn't an applicable concept because it happens automatically due to how skill levels work.
while this is basically right, i do see that fresh players who play much could profit from little faster learning. afaik it IS currently already in place - until xxx SP you do train with more SP/h, right? maybe look at this number?
alternatively instead of providing unallocated SP for PLEX i could imagine you could spend e.g. 1 extra plex per month to get increased skilling speed (a few temporary attribute points). so basically 1 plex = 100%, 2 plex = 130-150%. also, make it only work until you reached that magic xx mil SP limit tippia was speaking of. i could think of 6-12 months playing, so about 2 mil SP.

If someone wants a 100mil SP character right now they can buy it off the character Bazzar.
This does Zero good for the Eve Economy, some good for CCP (2 plex), lots of good for the person selling the character, and raises plex prices.
If you had the option to buy SP as an in-game item (as part of say the LP store).
then . . ..
"Buying a 100mil SP character", helps the EVE economy by Sinking ISK and Items (LP/tags), does little good for CCP, does no good for people selling the character, and lowers the plex prices as noobs sell plex to train their character.
So If you compare someone buying a character off of the Bazzar or Buying SP with In-game items. . .
I would much rather have them buy SP with an in-game item. So would you unless one of the following statements are true . . .
1) You sell characters on the charcter Bazzar
2) You finance your EVE activities by using Money to buy plex and sell that for ISK on the EVE market.
Personally, I'm fine with crashing the price of plex and letting old characters "die" rather than be recycled on the character bazzar.
