As a continuation of the whole skill-points are a commodity thing, CCP is planning to introduce daily "opportunities" and reward 10,000 skill points for the first NPC you kill each day, soon to be expanded to the first asteroid you mine, the first production job, the first site scanned, etc, etc. Supposedly to encourage actually logging into the game.
My suggestion was that they forget about that and change the ship insurance to reward no ISK and just some skillpoints when you lose your ship in PVP (no PVE). Increased rewards for newbies if they want, as newbies can't otherwise afford the regular skill injectors. But anyway, the thread is mostly in flames and growing rapidly, as no one likes the idea of dailies, so any replies will get buried fast.
I hate the idea, I have made my feelings known. Goes against everything that eve should be.

Dailies... in Eve.... :uhrr:

So, despite the complaints and comments, they're going ahead with the Dailies and will push the first out on Tuesday.
10,000 skill points / day (if you shoot an NPC) = 300,000 per month = free injector every two months or so = equivalent of PLEX every 3 months or so.
I'm thinking some prices are about to crash on the market.
Average skillpoints / month is 1.6 million, with this change 1.9 million. Equivalent of having an extra set of +5 attribute implants.
Maybe they're considering removing attribute implants.

CCP selling SP is like walking in on the Pope wanking as he blarts all over a Tumblr creeper image of Satan's upskirt thong. I like it.

This is an excellent metaphor except for being pointless, inaccurate, irrelevant and horribly-poorly written. I feel stupider for reading it and even stupider for engaging seriously, but I do feel I have to point out that CCP have always sold skillpoints (those and the right to log into their services are what you get in return for your subscription). And if you really feel that the new mechanic needs economic analysis in inappropriate IRL-terms, then the new dailies are not a contract of sale (where you pay them to acquire a good) but a contract of hire (where they pay you to perform an act).

I honestly do not know why anyone is complaining, except for a very few people who have reason to believe that they genuinely lack the self-control required to resist the urge to log in every single day because what will they do without today's 10k skillpoints.
Not-logging-in is habit-forming.
