Learning how to fly a ship is great. Imagine someone being able to fly a titan day 1 without knowing the basics behind flying a capital.

the taxes

Not liking taxes is wierd for an anti-capitalist, but lets not dwell on that irregularity.

So, you want to do a mission and get a skill for it, rather than get isk amd buy a skill. Or a ship. Or a module etc.

Let’s just make skills CA$H SHOP only. You know you want to.

@Kahna_Sung

In a game it feels predatory.

It can feel how it likes, its an important economic functiom called sinking.

@Kahna_Sung

Everything you want to do in this game you have to pay

@Kahna_Sung

I can do missions without using isk and I can also mine without using isk with that free Venture I got frm mission agent.

I dunno what to say, looks like you can solve your own difficulties after all if you put thought and/or effort into it.

At no point did I say you found anything difficult.

Quite the opposite in fact.

Not doing an easy thing means you are lazy, remember?

Though I suppose that DOES mean you find the minimum effort difficult

@Kahna_Sung

Did you read something I posted that had the word difficult in it?

No. You said it was too expensive and the Skill Store is ridiculous and predatory.
I pay attention

Don’t starter systems sell the basic skills for a good bit less than the “skill shop”? I’m pretty sure you get directed there for career missions too.

Sorry, just realized that that costs isk. My bad.

[Maxine_Macks]

@Kahna_Sung

What’s the problem with them others then?

Bad faith. Argumentative to avoid agreeing with you. Trolling and generally being buttheads.

Is that what EVE is, a capitalism simulator? Funny, the ad said it was a sci-fi sandbox.
But if it is a capitalism simulator then I’ll stop playing and uninstall this minute. I don’t support capitalism in any form.

Any world with a history that existed before you ever join is by definition not a level playing field.

Everything in this game costs isk. It feels like dealing with bankers here

There needs to be mechanics so you lose isk so you have to grind or pay cash. This isn’t a game, it’s a money/time sinker.

[Bernie_Nator]

Given the number of skills in game, that sounds like an insane grind. I know I for one dont have have that level od time to commit any more. I would recommend doing some more research into the skill system before recommending things that most likely would’nt work.

[tutucox_Khamsi]

old EVE proposal
sooooooooooooooooo you have to pay a mentality and wait for years to fly the ship
players … that sounds lovely

new EVE proposal
soooooooooooooooo you can farm whatever play for free and fly the ships now
players … no way … we want more!

Skills should be earned by doing things in the game, just like they reward us with isk when we do things, I think it’s called Reward program or some such.

You may not have encountered many of the rewards as yet, but the AIR Career program does indeed offer ISK and skill books (and other rewards) for doing things in game.

I got isk from that but just one skill book: Social.
