Hello?

Guys, settle down. The simple solution is to give him what he wants, but balance it so that EVE doesn't become Pay to Win. I'm thinking one PLEX would be enough SP to get a 1x skill to lvl 1. You can use the PLEX to jump start the skill, but not to get ahead of other people unless you had enough money to basically buy CCP.

Edit - Spelling and Grammar

As mentioned, if there would be such an option at least for Sisi, I would be satisfied with that. I just need a way to test and learn the stuff I wanted to train for. I dont need guidance in skilling, cause thats pointless for me - I already know what I want and need. Im an individual Tetris brick that needs to be placed right. So the char bazaar wouldnt really work for me either.

BANG! HEADSHOT TO THE KNEE!]

Thats the usual case if anything happens in EVE. I wasted months in skilling for R&D as well, before I figured to have an alt doing that for my main. At least I will have +5 imps soon... lol

Besides, EVE is the only MMO Im playing and ever played so far. Tested WOW, but that sucked already from the first day, so I kicked it 2 hours after I installed it. So I cannot tell the difference between those games.

So just because you screw up (as we all prolly did) you want an easy way out ?

I would rahter have you could choose to reset all skill points every 12 months then as opposed to buy them for plex - like remapping your attributes. Buying skill points is a bad idea because it will add lazy daisies and end up with a player base having no clue what the skills actually do cause why bother to even read the tooltips ? Put the plex to use in better places than skill points please.. more apparels - keep them coming.

Remapping SP is just as bad an idea as buying SP, but for different (if overlapping) reasons.

For what reasons ? and why is that a bad idea iyo ?

Simple, an option that allows you to transform PLEX into skillpoints. 1 PLEX = 1.500.000 SP and you can do with them whatever you want or can do. This helps especially young players to get some skills for pvp or PVE, while safing time.

i have 3billion isk laying around, which is about 6 plexes
that is 9million SP, which iirc would mean i would now be able to fly and fit titans.
thanks.

BecauseGǪ (insert standard copypasta)

It removes the point of having skills to begin with.
It removes the point of having attributes.
It removes attribute implants from the game.
It removes variety and instead encourages FOTM and cookie-cutter setups.
It removes the uniqueness, history and "character" of your character.
It removes planning and choice and consequences.
It removes goal-setting, progression and any achievement in those areas.
It kills character trading.
It massively boosts older characters over new ones.
It introduces "catching up" as a concept in EVE and instantly makes it impossible to do.


GǪalso, it doesn't solve any actual problem. Respecs make sense in the classic class/level-based systems where you pick a single route and a progression ladder or ability tree determined by which class you chose at the very beginning, and what level you have accumulated since. Incidentally, it's this lock-in that makes it so common (and from a design standpoint, so sensible and kind of important) that older characters and higher levels are inherently better than newer/lower-levelled ones.

EVE is not like that. If you want to do something else in EVE, you can just go do it (wellGǪ after the appropriate training, of course), as can everyone else. The retraining time is important: just because you have spent the last five years getting into a supercarrier doesn't mean that you should be allowed to just say Gǣscrew itGǥ and the next day be the best and most well-rounded T2 manufacturer in the galaxy.

Since you're not locked into a single path, and since you're free to train for whatever professions or abilities you'd like at any time, respeccing has no purpose and no place in EVE. Introducing respeccing to this scheme will only mean that you implement all the problems of a class/level system without gaining any actual benefits (because the benefits you're after are already in the game).

Dude...you are such a ******* moron. Just because you are a poor bastard with no money to spend on EvE doesn't mean I should not be able to use my own money to do what I want! It isn't P2W because PvP is based on skill not SP! Why should I spend years playing a game when I will always be behind the curve of all the players ahead of me?

Kill yourself... this is the dumbest idea ever. It always has been, and ALWAYS will be.

Fucks like you are the reason Games fail. Good job at not thinking that one through.
OH!!!! and they have this.
Its called the Character Bazaar.
You can use all the money you want to buy a toon with the skills you want.

This is getting into the realm of P2W. Sorry...but if someone is allowed to just outright buy all the SP that it took me years to accumulate, it will ruin the game for me. I am not the only one that feels this way. Redistributing SP that you already invested time into aquiring is another matter all together.
