Devblog: Skills On Demand - Changes Coming To The Skill System!

undocking is REQUIRED for some PVP, but does not IMPLY it. Learn the difference. If it was both required for it, and did imply it, then it would be logically the same thing, leading to the absurd conclusion that “undocking in an empty system is PVP”

Just because you make yourself available to PVP when you undock, does not mean there will actually be PVP. “undocking is consent to PVP” does not mean that undocking IMPLIES PVP, which is required for “less undocking is less PVP” to make sense.

So no, the claim that this change did reduce the PVP is just absurd. Your post makes no sense at all.

So you guys are discussing an old change dating from 2019… What is the point?

People can still travel to a university NPC station to buy books with a discount or buy it directly in any NPC stations at a higher price when they put the skill in their skill queue…

It was a good change. The “old way” is still there for people who wants it and it is more simplicity for newbees. When I started the game 3 years ago I remember it took me a few days to understand the concept of skill books needed to be injected before being able to train the skills…

OMG, not this crap again.

You’re talking semantics. Also I never said PvP will happen when undocking, I said buying the skills from CCP via the character sheet removes the need to undock, thus no player interaction will happen.

The only reason you’re dogging me about this is due to animosity. As such I’ve had enough of your replies.

Funny thing is it was fine for 16 years, then all of a sudden it wasn’t fine.

Almost like it wasn’t fine for 16 years.
Unlocking a frigate to go a few jumps for a skillbook does not create meaningful PvP interactions, or meaningful interactions of any kind. It’s make work. And make work is bad.

So, undocking for a skillbook isn’t consenting to PvP but undocking for anything else is consenting to PvP.
OK, Got it o7

So the next time I undock to go get a skillbook NO ONE can PvP me, right?

And what does “meaningful PvP” even mean ?

Yes you literally answered to me by saying PVP happens when you undock.
Which is just complete nonsense.

This modification did change nothing to PVP. AT ALL. Because the need to undock to get a skillbook was not producing PVP, on the opposite.

The only crap here is your absurd posts.

consenting to != create. Learn to read, nobody denied the consent.
This argument of “PVP opportunity” is just pure BS. Like you are gonna PVP in a shuttle, sure.

Sure, I can get PvP’d in my Pod too, so what’s your point?

Maybe read what I wrote before inventing strawmen to fight against.

Meaningful PvP does not include popping a t1 frigate or corvette that costs next to nothing when it’s going 2 jumps over to buy and instantly use a skillbook. And yes, I’m sure after you search for hours you’ll come up with a singular relevant example of something more meaningful.

if you want to understand what I am saying, you need to read it before answering it.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to get you upset. I thought we were conversing but if you take it as fight, I won’t converse with you.

Since you don’t want to discuss I’ll block you so you won’t get upset on me.

I guess I’m too stupid to answer your post and since that’s the case, I’ll block you too.

I’m happy we reached an agreement.

lol, yeah, I was going to say nobody said anything about ‘meaningful PvP’.

However all those players who got a Killmail while getting a skillbook probably thought it was meaningful.

You literally put fake words in my mouth and you take my rebuttal as a fight and me being upset? Rather than just tired of idiots who don’t read before going Reeee!!!
Answer me this then.
How much did destruction decline when this was introduced. Find the date on the graph, clip it into an image in here if you want, and show the meaningful drop in destruction. Because if there is no meaningful drop, then this didn’t stop any relevant amount of PvP interaction.

:rofl: :+1:

I can tell for several of them : nope.
Making a new toon, then using AP to get to jita to buy SB and coming back with 4 out of 8 having been podded in the route is literally not meaningful. I just undocked and used AP again and they did not die this time.

but yeah if you want to claim that “podding empty newbros” is “meaningful PVP”, then that talks a lot about you.

Yeah just keep changing it up, now it’s ‘podding empty newbros’.

:rofl:

You are the one claiming that “consent to PVP” is the same thing as “implies PVP”, so you are the one having an issue with the terms and their use.

And yes you are the one literally claiming that “podding empty newbros” is “meaningful PVP”. That’s in your post, I’m not changing anything. You wrote that ALL the KM received from undocking for a SB are meaningful PVP, that includes “empty newbro pods”. So according to your own post, “podding empty newbros” is “meaningful PVP”.

Gawd, enough of your lies, you keep twisting and changing everything in an attempt to justify your attack on me and quite honestly, it just makes you look pathetic.
