* Kill a merc with more SP than you, receive a small SP bonus EOM.
* Kill a merc with substantially more SP than you, receive a substantial SP bonus EOM.
* Kill a merc in higher meta gear than yours, receive a small Isk bonus EOM.
* Kill a merc in substantially higher meta gear than yours, receive a substantial Isk bonus EOM.
Given enough time and activity, newbros would begin to close the experience and wealth gap which separates them from veterans. This could make for rapid, activity-focused and performance-driven career advancement.
Thoughts?

Exactly! And if you did so while running lower-end gear, you'd potentially make alot of Isk when you do well against guys in higher-end gear.

Excellent point. Hadn't considered the possibility of Isk farming/transfer. Though ... if a player was intent on farming Isk wouldn't it be more efficient to simply run low-meta gear on his main?

Karma?  I honestly wouldn't expect to see any change in the frequency of kill-stealing.

Srlsy? Didn't mean to steal your idea, Kirk. The concept came to me last night after the same newbro caught and killed me twice in a row; thought to myself "self, this newbro deserves a nod beyond a gg mail." Please link your post(s), and I'll give you 100% credit in the Title and OP.

Motives!? Not running for CPM. Promise. Primary motive of this thread is to pitch an idea for improving new player experience and retention rates; eve-offline's steady downtick in headcount makes me uneasy. This game has so much potential; it would be a shame and a waste to see it die. Secondary motive is to hint to Kirk that I do feel bad about throwing him under the bus.

Fair point. The title was perhaps misleading; changed it from "Closing the Gap" to "Narrowing the Gap" ... this better fits the intent. In practice, I don't believe that noobs slay veterans all that often. Assuming they did and did so often, it would still take years for a 1M SP newbro to actually catch up to an 80M SP vet even with a substantial SP bonus.
