1. Played since at least beginning of open beta where they got the chance to make their mistakes and then were given two respecs upon release of Uprising to fix them.
2. All of the dropsuits, weapons, and vehicles they want are already in the game.
3. Because EVE doesn't let you.
4. Your choices matter.
I've argued this plenty, I don't really give a flying **** about anything related to this game right now, sooo, have at it, oh forum warriors of righteous whine. |

Eve Online has a Neural Ramp system in place. It doesn't directly affect SP but it does affect how much SP becomes needed to train a skill book over time. This is done by giving each skill book at least two of the five attributes: willpower, perception, charisma, intelligence, and memory. Each player is given a set amount of attribute points per attribute.
Every year, an Eve player is given a chance to rearrange their attribute points to whichever attribute that they like. The more points given to willpower and perception will mean that skill books that share those attributes will require less skill books to train up. However, this also means that less points in intelligence, charisma, and memory will result in all other skill books that share those attributes to take much longer to train up. It's a trade off. Every choice must have a consequence.
I would love this, but we need a lot more depth of skills and fitting options before we can really have that. Otherwise you're just further locking people out of things. If you did that now, you'd max out your path waaaay before the end of the year, and you'd be stuck either sitting on your SP, or spending even more SP on things that you want to try out. So, that would need to be reworked, but could in theory exist once the game is big enough.
I don't want full respecs. And I want to fly dropships again, some day. So that must say something. The Skillback Booster thingy looks promising, I'd rather have it exist only for AUR than not at all. In 4098 when they open up the player market to us, people can start selling and scamming boosters for oodles of ISKums. |
