Please just scrap this hybrid Skill point system you guys currently have in the beta of Dust514, as some of you might know the Skill planning in Eve is much and much better then this ****** character progression we have right now.

Don't make the Game about who gets the most skill points = 1337 status, make it about getting the ISK!

I've been telling myself this game would be so much better off with the skill planning that Eve has and now its time for you guys to admit it, CCP has been tweaking around and nerfing and boosting the skill gain in the last couple of months and i had enough.

If they implement the SP system they have in Eve there wouldn't be a grind for SP, there wouldn't be boosting for SP, there wouldn't be this sooo unoriginal Kill = points = character progression ripoff system.

The Skill planning in Eve is what brings back the daily players to train their pilots (Together with all the other **** you can do in that game) Why NOT put it in Dust? like seriously my mind is blown right now.

TL;DR Just copy/paste the SP/Skill planning system from EVE into Dust already!

In the time i opened this thread with a dozen others or so and made my way to commenting on this one there's been 2 entire pages of posts already. Unfortunately i'm too lazy to read through it all to see if this has been covered, so i'll just leave it here anyway. Carry on. Wouldn't it just lead to ISK grind though? If everyone were even on SP the grinders would just grind whatever = power. Which would be ISK. Which as i understand is how EvE works. In the case of Dust, we'd just end up with every battle dominated by whoever could spam the most tanks, aircraft and installations. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that if that's the direction the game was intended to take but i think CCP has different plans for Dust. I agree the SP system still needs work, but i understand what they are trying to do. Finding the right balance of OP/UP players and trying to make the game accessible to both is a daunting task. If SP were even across all players, ISK would be the new SP and they would still try and implement ways of creating a level playing field since that is seemingly they're ultimate focus. It's fair to say the system in EvE will never be employed in Dust. It's a different animal and needs a different system, albeit a better one than is currently employed.
