Been a while since we had one of these.
I could get behind a ONE TIME, per account "gift" allowing a player to unlearn a certain number of skillpoints. Let's say at 18 months, after you've had plenty of time to figure the game out and know what you do and don't enjoy doing, you get the opportunity to reclaim from 1-3 million SPs and undo those noob mistakes, like training industrial skills you used a few times and then ignored. It would be a per-account thing, so characters couldn't be sold with it.
Eve is just fine without it, I don't see any need for it, but at the same time I'd love to be able to scrap a few skills and repurpose them toward something I would actually find useful...instead of having skills trained that I'll never use because I didn't really understand what they did at the time.

Apparently not, biomassing characters just because you weren't happy with your previously-chosen skills. This isn't some other MMO where you're at level 20 with a crappy skillset and needing to reroll. As SOON as you realize you took the wrong path, just start training what you want. The few million SP you wasted isn't THAT big a deal. You probably wasted quite a few support skills that apply to anything when you trashed those characters.

This whole point of this feature is to not waste the time you have invested in training the skills you want so you can play. I believe EVE is already painful enough that you have to wait for a few months before you get to PVP,PVE or BUILD something properly. Which i totally love about the game but making a mistake realizing that mistake and spending all the time ALL over again to be able to PVE is a bit painful for newer even midlevel sp people.
Unless you completely forego and amount of combat skills--unlikely for a new player, as ship combat is the first thing you're shown--then biomassing your first toon is throwing out combat skills. You almost certainly acquired support and fitting skills that will apply to ANY ship you could fly. Biomassing a toon because you picked the skills is just repeating training you've already done. If the OP has biomassed four toons, that is probably MONTHS of training time thrown out. Just keep the skills you have, train new ones, and carry on.
