Many uber-expensive skills would drop in price drastically if they became common and free for certain Corp members. Same goes for implants; I think we'd all like to see those drop from being a luxury for the uber-rich battleship captains to commonplace character alteration tools.


Most of the really expensive skills are that price from the NPC corps. You can't make them, you can only buy them from the NPC market, buy them from players who mark them up, or get them as mission rewards. Since it's NPCs that make them, the price on them is not going to come down unless CCP decides to lower the price. Most of these skills are ok to be expensive. It costs about 4million for a battleship skill. If you've enough money to buy a BS, then 4mil for the skill isn't a big outlay for the skill to learn it.

And as far as implants becoming commonplace or cheap, that will not happen unless the means for acquiring them change. The only way to get a +3 implant is to run agent missions. Lots of them! When I did agent running, I'd maybe see 2 implants on a very good day, usually only 1 or less. I'm quite generous to new guys in our corp, but I'm not going to give all new players a 25million isk implant that takes the better part of a day of boring delivery missions to earn. I can't see anyone else doing so either.
