Absolutely fantastic work on getting these minutes out so quickly! I look forward to reading the rest as you release them.
Quote:Removal of attributes was also mentioned, but the idea is still in quite an early stage. It's something they want to do as it's on the level as learning skills, so that people don't have to get locked into training skills in a non-optimal order for use in order to train at the optimal speed. There is still some discussion around what would possibly be done with learning implants (keep them, flat bonus, something else). There are also questions as to what the rate would be with the changes. Ali brought up some feedback that some veteran players like the space it gives you to optimize your character, but overall supports removing attributes. There was also the point of learning implants disincentive PVP, especially in null and WH. I am super excited that CCP wants to remove attributes. This is really something that has been a very long time coming. I really hope that this becomes a priority because the sooner this happens the better for everyone.
I also hope that you remove learning implants from Eve as they are a disincentive to PvP. If a 15 mil isk clone was enough of a disincentive to PvP that CCP removed clone grades then a 40 mil isk pod (two +4 implants) is an even bigger one.
I know that people often bring up the idea of a learning booster, as an alternative to learning implants, that only lasts for a few days and won't die if you get podded. The issue with this is nearly everyone will use it. In all likelihood most groups will take to giving them out to their pilots for free. Brave would give them out because their atron pilots will get into cruisers faster and the CFC/N3/Russians will give them out to help their pilots transition from doctrine to doctrine quicker, or get better at flying their current doctrine. It is a classic example of "if everyone is super than no one is." Those groups that can't afford the advantage of giving everyone free or subsidized learning boosters will fall even further behind these groups and find themselves having a hard time competing with them. That just leaves nullsec and such even more stagnant. All around it is an interesting idea that ultimately would be worse for Eve.
So please just skip any form of learning booster/implant and give everyone the same flat SP/hour. It will be the best decision for Eve. |
