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

Please stop. This is the 4. time you said there will be a markup. It doesnt matter how much % you increase. Even double the price will worth being lazy.

If you don’t think EVE players are going to look at every bit of info available, you’re doing it wrong. :wink:

I know, how dare I take CCP’s side in anything?! I forgot that players are supposed to be universally horrified and toxic towards the makers of the game at all times, while simultaneously supporting their for-profit product. Jesus Christ.

Gas Harvesting is not a seeded skill, there is no NPC price for those. Educate yourself.

@CCP_Affinity Do you expect the price of skill books (for those that seek them out) to go up or down? It seems like the instant-buy-inject will stabilize the market for almost all skills, but I’m curious what the markup for convenience will be compared to current jita rates.

Every change CCP makes can be construed as “direct market manipulation.” PLEX sales are market manipulation in this manner. Hell, CCP sometimes directly intervenes in the PLEX market in more direct ways. Don’t be deliberately obtuse because your cheese is being touched.

I think as a new player this is great.

It’s a joke, there, Chester. Relax.

you mean increase it right? along with Capital Industrial Books

Stop trolling. You are lowering yourself down to some childish level of an entitled kid with an entitled parent that parrots a perfectly valid point.

The price of the titan skill book is not much to be honest, why do you think its too high? I have all 4 races in my head, price was fine, bought them once and trained them once.
A titan vessel is the biggest ship class in the game dude. Alone some decent slave set Implants cost you 11b + 30b for a regular combat/fleet fit. Hull prices for titans and supers dropped into cellar and yet you still want CCP to make it even more simple to get into a titan?

The joke here is freaking out about a UI mock.

CSM members logging in different alts to post that this is a great change is not helping. It was probably partly their idea so they obviously think this is a great change. While it isnt.

I never heard of anyone complaining about to fact they had to make a few jumps to buy skills. And while you talk about HOURS or gameplay in a day. We probably spend 20 minutes in 3 years to buy skillbooks.

@Cpt_WhiteEye Then you have forgotten what it’s like to be a new player. When i started, I had absolutely no idea how to get new skills. The only reason I’ve had navigation 5 for years is that I had nothing else to train, and didn’t know how to get other skills.

And that is why they have the help channels and other players. So you could ask.

That’s a stupid solution to an easy problem.

Maybe I missed it but how does it help older players?

Users are little more than herd animals. They have to be shepherded. A thing that aids retention is worth the sacrifice of the extremely niche money making scheme that you learned from ■■■■■■■ Gevlon Goblin, of all people.

Its not a problem to begin with. Thats why its an unecessary change.

Actually, you should probably educate yourself.

It’s on the market, from NPC orders, in nullsec.
