Edited by: Kaya Divine on 23/01/2009 13:21:01What do you think about this option?  Character progress will be faster. It will reduce time of characters standing in "spot." One more ISK drain. Overall faster ability to access and enjoy EvE parts which person prefer. To elaborate this idea: Your character would be able to finish training of skills instantly. For a cost. One example: Engineering (rank 1) have 256000SP so (this is just a proposal) fee will be 10ISK per SP. So from Engineering 0 to 5 would cost your character 2560000 ISK. Cruisers (rank5) have 1280000SP because its rank 5 it will cost 5X more per SP so price to train it from 0 to 5 would be 50x 1280000 = 64000000 ISK Access to this feature could be added via agents. To use this feature will not require any standing. But with perfect standing, fee could be 10% lower. I granted myself freedom to give answers on some questions which I presume would be of interest to you.
Will this feature be unfair to old characters?Not at all. Yours old characters would have same advantage as new, and upper hand. You already saved billions, by training them in standard way. How will this affect character market?Probably it will make this option redundant. And GTC market?More people would start to sell them, so your ISK will start to worth a little more. At the end I do believe that this option, will return to EvE those players who just get bored and quit (burned out) before they reach something that they want to do and fly. This will reduce waiting and those boring days and weeks. Granting all players faster access to desired gameplay style. |

Not supported, fundamentally opposite to the Eve approach to things. |

Firstly, not supported.
[troll]Secondly, something like this might actually work as long as it's "balanced". Let's say you put your character into intensive training that reduces the time it takes to train an idea by a certain percentage. This costs isk and begins by talking to an agent in your starting school station. Once started, your character cannot leave the station until the skill training is complete or cancelled and if cancelled, the skillpoints you gained will decay at half your normal training speed for that skill meaning it must immediately be started to train normally, which will then train at half speed.
Great if you plan on training straight into capitals, not so good if you plan to actually play the game.[/troll] |

This is so wrong, and the conculsions are so flawed, that its unsupportable.
Players leave eve for a multitude of reasons, they get bored with the mission grind, 0.0 fleet lag, have R/L issues, buying SP's will not get those back.
Cruiser 5 is about a 32 day skill (depending on Attribs) if you cant wait that maybe you should ask is this game right for you?
The basic premis of this proposal appears to be : I want an uber Char without working for it. Well Bo-****ing-ho, if you dont want to put the time into developing your toon cancel your account, and contract your stuff to Eve-uni.

Character Bazaar is that V way. It's the existing official way to get skillpoints for isk, why do you need another, crappy system?

please excuse the expletives...
ARE YOU FECKING INSANE!!!??
this would undermine the entire point of skill training...
this would allow some one with Billions of ISK to;
1, create a new char
2, pay for 60day time code
3, spend ISK in the char to get them to a "Sellable" level
4, sell the char for more isk than the outlay...
this would also open a hole for people to start selling more chars for RL cash..... |

Considering that it costs millions for a meager +3 implant to maybe shave off a few hours of training, your math is WAY OFF!! Seriously, no.......... Eve is about patience, frustration, and maybe even a reward at the end for it. If you can't deal with that, find a new game  /unsupported |

Now, now. Even in WoW you still have to play the game to get your skills up. I'd be hard pressed to think of a game not coded in Flash that uses the mechanic he proposes. |
