Originally by: Veilag if this does mean that you can buy/trade/acquire skill points in any other way than training, that CCP have just commited in-game suicide.
This would kill the game imo.
You can already buy skill points and isk legally

Originally by: Captain Muscles If you read CCPs announcement, they say this feature has been "hot dropped" into the dev plans. Although some part of this addition *could* be used to sell skillpoint in the future, I believe CCPs post is quite clear that they are adding the code in response to the extended downtime out of the goodness of their hearts.
Dude, that is nothing you can plan, implement, test & deploy in one day! This is a future feature and I hope it is ONLY for admins in case of reinbursements *fingers crossed*

Originally by: Scrobes I speculate that you will train generic skill points that get collected into a pool, with which you can then spend on any skill you desire. Rather than training the skills themselves. ;o Maybe it'll be defined as skill training for a category of skills like all the stuff in Science, etc. Then you use that 'Science' pool of SP to spend on Cybernetics or something.
Just some totally random thoughts.
So, what you're saying is, CCP is stealing the Idea from an MMO which is stealing most of its Ideas from CCP. Doubt it.
That's not what I am saying, no, because actually I don't know what you're talking about or what you're referring to. Sorry :) I wasn't implying anything, it was a genuine speculation.

Skill point reallocation in t - 5 days.
Simply drain the SP in all those skills you don't use and pop into a "pool".
Add in a back story to it fits in eve, have a decay modifier to you lose SP doing this (to calm the masses) and then sit back and wait for 500 titan pilots to suddenly spring up.
I really hope i'm wrong.
I suppose this must be my sig. I'll do something cool with it eventually. |

Skillpoint gifter extra appreciated (especially since my skill training plan wasn't for downtime over a day long), but if you ever sell skillpoints for real life ISKies (excluding character sales), I'll fly a smartbombing Phoon into your new server room.

First thing I thought of when I read about this skill point pool was ... This is how they plan on getting rid of learning skills without making the older players upset who've trained them... Give everyone a skill point pool to spend for the learning skills you've trained in the past, when they finally get rid of them like they've been talking about for years.
I seriously doubt they are about to let us buy SP's.

You're an optimist i see.
The only optimistic part of my statement is the part about CCP having goodness in their hearts .
I just think that they clearly stated that they are adding something right-away to reimburse skill-points, but most of this thread seems to think that they are adding some ridiculous skill-selling feature.
Originally by: Joe Starbreaker
The post is also quite clear that they already had something in the pipeline that allows them to distribute blocks of skillpoints. That's why people are worried.
Ummm what? It says this was "hot dropped" into the pipeline. The rest of it is about reimbursing us. Any further speculation would require a tinfoil hat, which I forgot at home. ____________________ Captain Muscles sez:

Originally by: Raziphan Rebular So far the best thing I can think of that goes along with such a statement is this.
They are removing learning skills and reimbursing everyone the SP they trained into them, plus adjusting attributes so that they are not effected by said change.
Please let it be this and not the horror that buying skillpoints directly would be.

I suspect this will just be a means for ccp to compensate/reimbuse players lost sp/training time resulting from unsceduled DT's ect...
possibly a prelude to removing the learning skills, tho i do hope we get the choice... as a skill collector i will not be very happy to lose my learning skills
I don't believe they would be stupid enouch to sell sp for isk or rl cash as that would totally undermine and render pointless the eve skill training system. á

I do not like the implications of this statement at all
It means they've figured out a way to ditch learning skills.

Remember CCP gives and takes. Not sure what the possible side effects of a skill point pool could be, but nothing from ccp is free.

If this is all it ends up being then it will be ok. But with no details yet I will assume the worst. Whats that old saying? Optimists are usually dissapointed whilst pessimists can only be pleasantly suprised.

What if it's a system where you train a skill to level x and then you can "pull out" that skill from your brain, package it up and sell it on the market as a "trained lvl x skill."

On the one hand CCP is usually pretty good about giving people what they ask for with a twist that keeps eve fun and harsh. I'm very cautiously optimistic about this new feature only because of CCP's track record with this sort of thing. On the other hand they're reimbursing us SP for downtimes which is a strangely generous gesture and not in keeping with the HTFU attitude I've come to expect.
