Intro: Some of you are aware that CCP wants to remove those, but they are still searching for a solution which would benefit the most players. So I meditated and figured out solution. Which is easy to program and implement. And which will not make people angry.
Solution
- 1. Add 10 points + 10% to all characters attributes
10 points is the value of maxed learning skills, 10% is a bonus to value gained by maxed Learning skill.
- 2. Remove all learning skills.
Like they never existed.
- 3. SP which player had been invested in Learning will be redistributed through faster learning time lets say 10000% faster.
Lets say for example you have 4m SP in learning. You will get bonus to SP accumulation with a same value. So you will not lose any SP but it would be redistributed to your current skill plan in total value which would be exactly the same as the SP value in learning.
That would of course would be different from player to player, not everyone have all learning skill maxed so its only fair to receive as much as you had invested.
Now, the question is:
Would you be totally satisfied with this change?

Good solution
I also think it would be reasonable to give all characters an extra +5 to all attributes and either remove the 1-5 implants or use them entirely for stat/skill bonus's like the current sets work.

CCP already has the tech in place to allow for accelerated skillpoint gains up to a set limit so it should be possible to implement this.
Problem is you'll still have people whining, they "you should have to do it because I had to" mentality, but then some people are never happy.
This solution deals with learning skills while at the same time giving a return to those who originalaly invested in the skills.

What about the SP I would have gained had I had the learning skills from day 1 as new players then effectively would? You forgot to account for that.
A better solution is, just remove the learning skills and tell anyone who complains to STFU.
Best solution is STFU about the learning skills.

This would not make any serious impact on game-play, why loose CSM time on that ?
I think it will be better to focus on fixing things which ARE broken or not finished.

Supported, learning skills were always bad game design. Better to remove them late than never. I would also have no problems with those SP simply vanishing with no reimbursement.

I've weighed in n the learning skills argument before, and I'm still on the same side now. There's nothing wrong with learning skills.
What needs to be changed is people's perception of their neccessity, but that would require changing the basic human nature of min/maxing in games where possible.
So I will simply say what I have always said:
You do not NEED to train learning skills, not even to be competitive, especially in the short term.
Let's face it, if two characters are facing off against each other in combat and they both have a total of 5 million Skill Points in the points relevant to that particular fight, does it really matter how long it took them to accumulate those skill points? Of course not - what will matter is how the points are applied - IOW, the player's skill at effectively using those points to reach the desired outcome.
What learning skills do is allow for a margin of error. They allow your opponent to mis calculate, instead of being able to look at a character and go "Oh he's six months old, he has exactly X skill points". You can still do that, but there's a wider margin of error because you're not sure how much learning he has applied, which shifts the total up or down.

CCP needs to just chop the learning skills. People who complain need to HTFU.

Learning skills are a love them to hate them set of skills. You always want to put them in cue but they take forver. By putting them in cue, you are speeding up skill learning for later.
I say dont add more - dont get rid of them.
If you dont want to skill them - then dont.

To those who didn't support:
Do remember that CCP decided that those skills will be removed. We dont discuss here should they be removed or not.
They still are not removed because CCP didn't find solution which would satisfy majority of players.

IMO, we should just cut the skills and HTFU about it. But, I'll support this if for no other reason than to get learning skills out of the game. They exacerbate the SP inadequacy problems new players feel.
If they focus on learning skills: they don't have fun for like two months in the game. WTFM8?
If they don't: I'm literally outrunning them on learning new crap, and they feel like I'm pulling even further ahead by the day.

Learaning skills are stupid. It's an absolutely dumb game mechanic that drives potential new players out of the game. The question I have been asked repeatedly by my real life gaming friends is, "Spend money and how much time on this?"
I fully support this or ANY plan that get's rid of learning skills.

I don't think it makes a difference if one supports this or not, CCP recognizes and is aware of the problem, they simply haven't come up with a solution. It's in their best interest to do so and it will probably eventually happen.
CSM time is better spent on other things.
(It has no impact on my argument, but I think the skills are an absolutely dreadful game design mistake. One which is understandable, and understandably hard to correct. Which kind of makes them interesting for those of us interested in such things.)

A buddy of mine who is smart enough to fully grasp this idea says its a good solution. So I guess I'm on board :) I never thought learning skills made much sense. Of course, I could say the same of many things in EVE, but this seems like one CCP might actually fix for a change.

Learning skills were a design flaw imo. At least the extended learning skills package. Having said that, I don't see how you can reverse it in a way that is 'fair' for everybody.
Basicly, I don't care that much and as such I will not support this topic.

QFT. Learning skills are fundamental to the EVE game mechanics. You need them in the long term. If you fail to realize that, you fail at EVE.

Learning skills are a long term vs. short term investment. By removing that decision, you are hurting not only the old people who trained them(by wasting their time), you are hurting new players by removing what can be an incredibly deep planning moment in their character's life. Not supported, you don't want them, and the bonuses provided, you are not in any way obligated to train them.

Yes.
Learning skills are in my opinion unnecessary, and a deterrent to many people who want to try EVE for just a few weeks. CCP themselves have admitted that their introduction was a mistake, and it's never too late to clean up on them.

I would like to contest that. I've introduced several people to EVE, and every single one of them came back to me within the first few days asking 'what do I do with these learning skills?'. I don't know howmuch of a deterrent it is to new players, although I can imagine it is, but in the least, it causes confusion. |
