Yeah there is one thing to keep in mind on the topic of CCP responding.
Every morning they close threads along with a comment as to why. Many are closed after a post saying not to post unfounded rumors. In one day alone they closed multiple threads about Titans being removed from game, wormholes being removed from game, T3's being removed from game, and one or two other things.
Quoting CCP Wrangler on just a few of the closed threads,

Is this some sort of holiday where the idea is to post all strange and baseless rumors you possibly can?
Originally by: CCP Wrangler
We're not closing down wormholes.
Originally by: CCP Wrangler
Did we say that in your dreams or something? Because it wasn't the real world.
It was on that day that they added the "Unfounded Rumors are not welcome post"
And on that day, this thread existed as it had for quite a few days before that. Yet CCP Wrangler never touched it.

If they do remove them, the main issue will be HOW they implement the change.
Out of curiosity I went into Eve-Mon and created a new plan with all of my current skills while leaving my learning skills out of the plan. I also left my cybernetics out and attributes at base original values as they were when I started.
Keep in mind I started this character in 2006.
Total training time without my basic learning skills to 5 and advanced to 4 AND without implants calculated to be about 8 and 1/4 years.

Apparently CCP Zymurgist felt fit to lock the second attached thread I posted that discussed this same manner and using the "Unfounded rumors" line. Perhaps this current running thread is a psychological experiment for CCP to see how their future fan base will pan out: those that ~need~ the Learning skills removed to survive _or_ the rest of us that have avoided or dealt with them and been on our training ways.
LOL..
Hmmm... Sadly that doesn't sound too out of place on these forums.

I've never really found training the learning skills to be all that bad timewise. Especially considering how slow everything is after that point.
I haven't created a character since they changed the rate of training on new toons though. So I can't really speak on that point.
But even prior to that I always trained all of the basic learning skills to 5 and all of the advanced to 4 before anything else. It never seemed all that long to me in the long run. |

I found the issue is not so much with those of us who know the game or who decided to give it a good try when we started, it's with those who want to get into the game and try it out and may be on the fence.
Learning skills artificially stop player's seeing a lot of the game which is the most dumb thing a game company can do. These skills have arguably lost CCP millions in income (along with the UI)
I've just started an alt and I want to max out learning skills. To me the 30 days I got free (buddy invite from my main) are completely wasted. I would certainly never pay for that. A new player is even less likely to do so.
Yeah I guess I can see your point. Makes sense in that regard.
