GǪaside from it bypassing a number of game mechanics and letting people uncontrollably inject the one thing that actually has any value in the game: time. Give me a break, most of the "time spent" training skills is waiting for the game to decide it's OK to give you access to content now that you've been a good kid and waited your turn. Total patronizing nonsense. So you're fine with me rolling around jita with a swarm of one day old tornado alts? or an influx of one day old titan pilots? That's an interesting point..... LET MY BUY SP PLEASE!!! |

If having access to the whole game at peak ability ends the game for you, what does that say about the game? There is a reason that nearly EVERY GAME (I'm sure there is an exception) involves some form of character progression. It gives us something to work towards, as well as a sense of accomplishment. Also for a new player that has done his homework and/or gets into a decent corp early on, it is easily possible to access most of the content eve has available within a few weeks. I myself recently created an alt and am using him to mess around in the amarr militia. It only took a few days to get him able to use enough mods to be pvp capable and has so far killed 2 rifters and a (shitfit) thorax. All of wich had pilots easily several months his senior. |

Buzzy Warstl wrote:There is at least one game billed as an RPG that has no character progression, and most FPS games have little to no character progression. These games all rely on player skill, just like most of EvE does.
The parts of EvE that a new player can access are closest to FPS games already, which is why a new player can actually work well with them.
So skill points are redundant at the same time they are so important that allowing people to buy them (by any means, look at every other thread on this topic) would break the game.
This contradiction indicates that allowing people to acquire skill points more quickly (even instantly) wouldn't actually change anything at all but making it clear to people much more rapidly if EvE was a bad fit for them as a game. Confirming that COD and BF3 have no character progression. |

As soon as i get the isk, i will be getting some skilled chars there anyway. Only diference between buying SP and a character really is having to cope with awful portraits and fail cosmetic choices. Can you no longer do a portrait swap? |
