I've never seen any of these arguments over learning skills ever give a good reason to keep them.
Still waiting, probably until hell freezes over.
I've come to the conclusion that a lot of people that play this game go out of their way to make things as long and tedious as possible. Hence they like learning skills which of course are totally unnecessary but hey they are great time wasters so must be ok, go figure.
You sir are wrong. Let's say I decided to take the strategic advantage of training the Learning skills since the beginning . You sir, did not. In a period of 4 years I'll be so ahead of you, that you could only dream of having as much SP as I have now. Take that feature out and the only strategic advantage I would have is to remap in a way that I'm training faster than you, the gap would not be as much as with the learning skill system and thus lowering down the strategic competitiveness of the game. Thus, dumbing down the game. You say it is unnecessary, but when you put yourself against another person, and make a choice, it makes a lot of difference in the long run. So in order to have something to use strategically they are necessary.
If you think you are "against" another person in a total skillpoints scenario, after a number of years, then you are probably missing one thing that makes this game great - your TOTAL skillpoints does not matter. The only skillpoints that matter are what you can put into use at any given situation. Rocket Specialisation V wont help you trade for higher profits, for example. With the new system you will gain the same number of skillpoints at the same rate as others, but again that's irrelevant, because you can specialise in one thing and someone can specialise in another, and when you meet in PVP your individual pilot skill coupled with the skills you chose to train, are what will determine the outcome.
It's not 'dumbing the game down' because it was not a choice that made sense, there was only "be stupid and not train learning" or "be smart and train learning" .. you don't have to train them to ALL Vs, but you sure as hell have to train them. There's no two ways about it, I doubt there are more than a handful of pilots out there that have never trained the learning skills.
Having a choice between eating a cake or putting it down your pants, is not much of a choice really at all now is it. There's only a handful of morons that would take the second option.
