EVE has always been about making choices and living with the consequences. You want to spend a month training on something? Then do it. You don't like it afterwards? Tough cookies. CCP's only ever refunded SP when they've decided to take skills out of the game. They don't allow 'respecs' or do-overs. I, for one, like that. The notion that someone could spend a month training down a path only to pay a few $$ to undo it, to me, is a bit cheap.
Likewise, something like this would do nothing for the older playerbase. A window of 30-days? Most of the old skills I 'don't like or need' are well outside of that. What I train up now is exactly what I know I want/need.
So, to summarize:
System gives edge to younger players
System gives edge to people with more RL cash
System rewards, or undoes, poor choices because "reset" buttons are cool in EVE.
Consensus: Do not like. |

Out of fear of being elitist...
I've been working on getting where I'm at since 2005. Why should someone who joined in 2012 be brought up to my level without having to go through that same investment cycle? CCP already gave them Neural remaps to streamline training, something that was unavailable for most of my own. |

Some people would quit the game over this, so CCP might make less money. These comments are exceedingly ignorant. You do realize that you can 'buy' your way to perfection with RL$ via the character bazaar?
Ah, you mean purchase enough plex from the bazaar to sell in-game to make enough ISK to then turn around and purchase a character?
That is still an 'old' character, one that's followed all of the rules to date to get to where it is at. Besides, the average selling-price for an 'aged' PVP toon, lets say in the 60-80m SP range, is going for...what, 20b? 30b? In plex, that's about 40-60. The going-price for PLEX via EVE AUTHORIZED transactions is about $20.00 US each.
You know what? If you want to spend $1,200usd just to get a leg up...have at it.
But even then, a 'new' skilled character is not immediately introduced into the game. With this 'rollback' system being funded by PLEX for real-money, powerhouse characters would be literally dumped into the market, saturating it and rendering older characters all but obsolete unless someone were gunning for a highly specialized character. And even then...
Spend time on core skills, then a month on ship/weapon specific and rollback as desired? Still way too OP and way too favoring of the 'privileged few'.
The current 'buy it on the bazaar' system at least doesn't duplicate or increase the characters available at that particular skill level. |

Or...do what I did. Well on my way to flying ALL ships T2-fitted. With that, I don't have to worry about anything needing a rollback... Jump in and go! Nyeeerrrrooom. |
