1) Remove learning skills and let players reassign learning skill points as they see fit.
2) Rebalance training times to compensate for lower attribute scores.
3) Profit.
I have all learning skills to 5/4 and I'd *much* rather have them in stuff that has to do with explosions. Learning skills are also eye-wateringly boring for new players. Removing them as per above suggestion is a win-win scenarion. Everyone likes win.

Removing learning skills is definitely not a win-win scenario. CCP themselves acknowledged the obvious truth that it will anger allot of people. CCP said that one day they might pick the option that would anger the least amount of people. As far as I am concerned the method that has been suggested that would probably anger the least amount of people would be to give everyone the learning skills and use the new sp allocation system we now have to give a sp re-numeration to the players that have already trained them.
Why would anyone be angry with learning skills being removed, if they get the skill points back and it still takes exactly the same time to train skills? *confused*

Are you really that naive? Try reading some of the very heated replies to any ideas like this one. ItĘs not just about replacing stats and compensating for loss. You are actively trying to dumb down our game. We donĘt want it.
I like the complexity of EVE, I would NOT want it to become WOW-ish. I agree with you 100% there. But there are plenty of both strategic and tactical complexity in skill progression even without learning skills.
To me learning skills is a bad mechanic. An ugly stepchild of WOW-like grinding mechanics. EVE would be even better with out it.

I'd like to see learning skills stay. It adds spice to character development and haven't seen a solid reason yet why they should be removed.
As someone else said, don't dumb down Eve.
Here's my reason:
New players that have a brain or a mentor "have" to spend about a month training skills that do jack **** except pay back three years from now when all they want to do is get in a ship and be blown up by me right away.
And since everyone trains them, they don't really have an affect.
The only reason to keep them is wanting to make life miserable for new players FOR NO VALID REASON.
