His argument isn't about the boosters... it's about passive SP.

He's basically saying that no matter how good newberries are, they'll never be able to compete with the 12 passive-trained alts that he has made back at Jan-Feb 2013 if they join at Jan-Feb 2014 or later. And quite honestly, he is right about that.

One of my characters in Eve Online was started in 2009 - they'll never have as many Skill Points as someone who started in 2003. Unbalanced? Sure. Unfair? Not really.

Just be smart about what you specialize in. If you don't specialize in something stupid (like piloting, lmao) you'll have just as much of an advantage on the field as anyone else.

He might have 25,000,000 SP but it only takes about 7-10,000,000 to have Level 5 everything in a particular specialization.

It will make them more versatile, but you cannot make use of all your sp in every role. So I dont understand why people think we will have vets running around and wielding a forge gun and a sniper rifle and driving a tank and flying all at the same time, ridiculous.

If not I dont see how alts give an advantage. They just made it annoying, not hard. You only get one passive slot per PSN. If they moved passive to a booster, you could have 3 characters passively training on the same account, or just one, or have a mix, whatever you feel like. Currently they shouldn't even LET you plug in augmentations on your alts since it is a waste of money. I see, I dont envy CCP, their job seems like an impossible task at times.
