Why would anyone need to boost ISK gains? Just don't run stuff you can't afford to lose.

Ugh, once again. Not the point of this discussion. The point is finding a way to get rid of UVTs that no one likes. Besides, youre telling me that a ISK booster would be useless? As in no one would ever buy it?

No, on the contrary, everyone would buy it. It's not useless, it's too good.

And why would you want to get rid of UVTs? Just because you don't have a use for them doesn't mean others don't.

ISK boosters are too good but passive and active SP boosters are perfectly fine? Straight

Please explain how me being able to purchase 100 more GEK-38's with my extra ISK is more broken than being able to go full proto everything in less than half the time it takes someone not using boosters. Straight

Because the ISK booster might have a detrimental effect on the whole economy. Active and passive boosters don't. Moving on.

Because the ISK booster might have a detrimental effect on the whole economy. Active and passive boosters don't. Moving on. By "might have a detrimental effect on the whole economy" I assume you're talking about the nonexistent economy we currently have and will not have for years to come? Sorry but that's a crap excuse/reason not to implement ISK boosters. Even with the arrival of the player market, ISK from EVE will flow and outweigh any kinda of possible imbalance an ISK booster may have and the economy would adjust and compensate accordingly, this is especially true if we were to implement it now rather than later when the market actually makes it's way to Dust. ISK boosters don't guarantee any sort of game breaking penalty in any way what-so-ever. If anything an ISK booster has all positives and no cons if done correctly. + New Players will be able to make more cash a lot faster. Allowing them to run better gear more often.(mitigates SP difference) + ISK Boosters are not guaranteed to earn you a profit or accumulate ISK passively. You have to play to earn and you have net loss per game to account for + More people would buy an ISK booster than a UVT, allowing more profit for CCP. Free Voice comms are now possible. + ISK Boosters would only apply to Pub matches - Takes up a Booster slot.

Yeah I read the rest of the thread, I agree with you on cosmetics. Items of this nature are always a hit among most games if their actually a attractive. The idea of Corp themed skins is awesome.
