Because you neglected to pay the price of updating your med clone.

To make sure that bad players rush to the forum and whine about their loss. Thank you very much.

Looks like I need a new tears jar now.

I will forward the evemail your just wrote to a GM.

You're trolling GD with a thread claiming to be a new player to EVE.. in nearly a 3 year old toon. Obviously complaining about an easy to understand mechanic that is explained in tutorials and should never happen when you sit in a station and explore your options. Namely medical bays.. I see a new icon new to my eyes, I click and find out everything I can about it.

If this is all even true.. and I still believe you're BS'ing just to make some demented point about how harsh EVE can be to people that can't mentally handle it.. the first pod death should have clue'd you in. If it didn't.. reap what you sow.

Hard in an MMO: It takes longer. WoW, LotRO, EVE, Pick your MMO, it's the same generic theme. I had an ExCopr mate do the same thing as you. He didn't know about Med clone and lost SP. You are fibbing a bit, OP. If you are noob you will lose at most I expect 3 weeks SP. Not months but unavoidably it's just another time sink in a Genre built on time sinks.

I read your Page 2 post.

You lost all of BS 5 and Range Finding 5?
That don't seem right.

Or he bough/ aquired the toon. Hardly an uncommon practice.

The clone thing is probably just meant to be part of the Sci-Fi space game imersion thing. Trying to make it seem so real to you that you yell out "I was there!".

Currenty, there is some discussion going on as to removing some of the clone requirements or at least a price restructuring. You're not alone in thinking the system is stupid.

CCP made up for this by offering $70 monocles for you to buy. You're welcome.

Because this particular mechanic is not just incredibly well documented, but even comes with its own tutorial and falls squarely in the GÇ£even the newbies know thisGÇ¥ category.
