I can't wait to see who will be the first of the EvE super-rich who gets every skill in eve to V, using injectors and screw the cost.
Of course it will happen, E-peens must be unzipped, released and swung around.
Of course CCP can release ever more ship variants, each requiring another skill, to fly and probably yet another skill to use its "special module" That way, even older players will feel the need to use these items to be able to fly the FOTM / new doctrine whilst it's still cancer hot. Should work quite well with much more frequent updates..........
Like Nuclear weapons, SPs can be viewed as something of an arms race, and as such, I'd expect that even those who don't like the idea, assuming that they can afford them, will make sure they are not left behind.
Milk that cash-cow CCP, while it lasts, the competitions games are catching up fast, and the players finally have somewhere else to go when you push too far, and take too much.

I hate to break it to you, but this is not only already happening, but has happened for years. I, myself, have two of my accounts sustaining themselves, long-term, by training alts specifically for sale on the Character Bazaar. One of the most reliable money makers in Eve was doing this with Power of Two accounts. Skill extractors change nothing about this process except how quickly you can realize a profit.

I already got close to 130M SP, so I got all I want anyways. Good for new players I guess.
EVE has been "pay to win" since plex :P |

Oh I know it's been going on for years. Hence my comment about the Bazaar. It's the other things I commented on that I'm worried about. |

Interesting that the 80m SP+ bracket is getting a much greater return than originally proposed.
Still eagerly awaiting AUR cost estimation at the least to complete the picture. |

It's quite a jump eh.
ItGÇÖs very important to note here that this means all the skillpoints available to buy on the market in EVE will have originated on other characters where they were trained at the normal rate.

Theres a few other things that are bad about this besides the pay to win feature.
Lots of players will lose a lot of expirience. We all had to claw our way into better ships, dying and learning along the way. When we get into capitals, unless you are laser focused, it comes from years of dedication to this game. Its a major achievement to move up a ship class, even going from frig to dessie was ecxiting as hell as a newbro, if this becomes a reality, that sense of achievement will be seriously mitigated. It is not nearly as effective to buy your way into a ship as it is to have to wait for it, and to work for it, and to sit on the edge of your seat as the skill queue ticks down the last few minutes. This is one of the best parts of eve, finally earning the right to use new things. With this gone moving up a class or using something new has no more sense of achievement, it is simply something you bought.
How about a counter-thought. Make it so that each character has a set number of skill injectors they can use. You can still extract as much as you want and sell it for isk, but you can only use a certain amount of injectors per character. Say 10 for this scenario, though that would likely not be the actual number. This way, people can buy sp, but not enough to make them skip the beginning of the game as new players, nor would older players be able to inject enough to buy a more elite character. Even if the numbers stay the same as now, with minimum of 150k sp per character, and use 10 max injectors as a baseline number, thats stil 1.5 million sp that you didnt have to wait for. Thats roughly 20 days of no-implant training right there, which is a significant amount of time in Eve, but not enough to break the game and not enough to skyrocket High SP players even higher, and you could even increase the numbers somewhat without it being too bad,
This would mitigate, if not eliminate, almost every concern voiced by outraged players. It would still allow selling SP for isk, and it would still allow instant training, just it would eliminate most of the abusiveness of it. It could even be lore friendly, something along the lines of the brain can only handle so much stress before being permanently damaged.
Please consider it, or something similar, this can be implemented without being a bad thing, it just needs to be done right, and unlimited free sp for rich players is a very bad thing |

New numbers? Situationally it seems like it might be worthwhile, like those forgotten or suddenly useful off map skills that may have been omitted for whatever reason.
Of course that could change back to a no for me if we see some action of the idea of removing attributes in the near future. |

QFT. This would also help reduce some of the market abuse that I'm concerned about. Adoption would be slower since the demand could be so potentially curbed. This would allow a much smoother transition that would affect PLEX much less severely. |

I like the overall idea... but:
I think CCP is missing a major opportunity here, by going for generic skill points instead of dedicated skill points for a specific skill. Two or three actually.
An opportunity for a rich and deep trade in skill points, where the rarity of skill points is decided by what people choose and chose to invest in before. People farming specific skills just because they do well in the market right now, people hoarding specific skills, etc. A huge opportunity for interesting economy and trade.
Secondly, an opportunity for control and balance. Both for CCP itself and corporations and alliances. With skill specific extractors, it would be possible to prevent new skills spreading like wildfire and it would be possible to put the breaks on people all chasing that one flavor of the month skill. Corporations would be able to provide their fledgling pilots with specific skills instead of just heaps of skill points that can be spent on anything.
Thirdly an (I think) important opportunity to put an early brake on a part of the community that will start flocking to whatever the flavor of the month is based on balance changes in the game. At any one time, specific ships and weapons will be favored over others (sometimes rightfully so, sometimes not so much). But with the option to re-skill (because that's what you get at a price here) to any skill you like, everyone can flock to the same skill, immediately unlocking that flavor of the month ship.
In conclusion: I like being able to buy skills someone else grew, but I don't like the generic skill points. I think they detract from the impact of player choice, because choices made in the past no longer affect the available skills of the future. The game becomes more generic with generic skill points, where they could have deepened it. |

Well, leave it at that, i've bought and sold many a character this way for profit, the only reason CCPGäó are smiling at skill trading is they will be able to sell the skill extractor on the new eden store and make more money, why not raise the monthly subscription and put this stupid idea to bed. |

because people fore firesaling them or something? Like, suddenly people didn't feel the need to join a big superblob, wonder what happened...

Maybe because raising the cost for everyone might have a greater consequence than raising the cost to play for those farming SP to sell, is one reason I can think of. The proposition has no effect on my cost as a subbed player or potential TSP buyer.

Ooh I was waiting for this one. You really can't stand the thought of new players getting something you didn't get, can you? They must be denied! Please CCP, don't let new players be competitive!
They can die in their new ships and get experience just as easy. You just can't kill them as easy.
I would suggest before you fall asleep tonight, think long and hard about all those new players having fun with a little more sp. Quicker than you had. Hurts, doesn't it?

As I see it, the concerns are not about being able to grind noobs into dust. There are a couple of real concerns related to the market. I understand that you might not care about those concerns. But if you read the rest of that guy's post, newbros would still be able to catch up. The point of his post was to limit the damage this kind of a change could do to the market. |

If anyone watches Totalbiscuit's YT channel he just recently did a video on 5 Gaming related sayings he hates, Pay To Win was one of them. And made a fairly solid point that a lot of P2W games are more along the lines of Pay to Skip. Like someone not wanting to wait 20 days to have Medium blasters to V or something.
Honestly if it was P2W CCP would release Aur only ships that had stupidly powerful bonuses. Like a Diemost with a Role bonus to Scram ranges or a Moa with a 20% Shield hit point bonus.
And just like the Bazaar, all the SP is trained on the character, the only difference is you don't have to buy the toon itself for the SP, just the SP.

Too many negatives in the old thread, so they started new one with CCP propaganda at work...
This is a perfect idea for alliance leaders who get bil isk per month for every system they rent. They will only buy and buy more skill injectors ( yes, maybe that will cost 40 bil per million SPs, this is pocket cash for big alliances ).
Nor that I care much, because I have started selling my chars and closing my accounts since the supercap nerf series, but I think this is the worst idea of all. Players that are still in this game because they are clinging to their hard earned skills will have no reason to stay anymore.
Besides, why bother to pay subscription when you can experience 75% of all the best this game offers with an one month trial account ?
