EVE Online The New Training Boost Bundle Creates Community Distress
MMOBEEP heard that in EVE Online intro of a $40 Training Boost Bundle, which grants Players 1.5 million Skill points as well as an Expert Cerebral Accelerator, which provides a temporary boost to attributes in order to make training time quicker.
As mentioned in the lede, players of EVE aren’t specifically fans of this bundle, with memes aplenty as well as callbacks to previous statements from CCP Games relating to Skill Points.
A post from The Ancient Gaming Noob does a great work of both contextualizing and summing up the pack’s impact in addition to giving further voice to the EVE community’s stress.
“Skill points are now well and truly available for sale in unlimited quantities. No need to go through the PLEX to ISK to injectors rigamarole, just buy the skill points directly. It is likely cheaper and clearly easier.
“Welcome to free to play, where the inevitable result is pay to win and where whales keep the game running so the cash shop needs to cater to them.”
