Not refunding people for purchased skill books is basically theft. As the blog entry points out - the decision to not refund OR reimburse for these books will cost Eve players 16 TRILLION ISK.

This is ISK that players have EARNED.

---

How have they earned it? How is it stolen? People got what they wanted from those ISKies. They no longer exist in the economy because they have served their purpose and been flushed out of the system. Their value replacement have been inserted and used according to purpose.

It doesn't cost players anything, because there is nothing left that holds that value. It has all been cycled through the system and, if anything, people are already being given what they paid for through the SP reimbursement and attribute addition.

EVE is sandbox game. Please stop telling me how shoult I play it.

I'm not ù I'm simply telling you that the (meta)gameplay you've invented for yourself is nothing that the game provides, so you can't blame it or the developers for changes that mess up with your personal externally invented and tacked-on ideas.

Total skillpoints has no meaning to me.

Then this change won't matter, and "being competitive" has nothing to do with what other people gain in the patch. Your training at the same speed as they do makes no difference because you can still catch up and thus become competitive in terms of in-game performance. The only thing you'll have problem competing with is total SP. The only "competitive advantage" you lose in the switch-over is the ability to accrue total SP faster than some ù all other advantages still (as always) come down to the balancing act between specialisation and generalisation.

What you're doing is essentially the same as someone who collects black ships and considers having more of those a sign of being a better black-collector than others, and then complain when CCP design to reskin a couple of ships so that your collection is no longer optimal (or even, oh the horror, tainted by green ships!). Have CCP screwed you over? No ù they've improved the graphical design and look of the game. You screwed yourself by inventing and competing in a metagame that makes zero difference in the game itself, and which CCP doesn't know about (or care about for that same reason) and thus will not take into consideration when making their improvements.

Every other MMO: Hello Kitty in grindsville at cash shop in DisneyWorld

Troll asshats and CCP: Let's make EVE like every other MMO! teach people that there is another way of doing things than the way every other MMO does it.

Me: Let's not and say we did

I am an annoying forum troll.

I am right.

Yes you are.

Why thank you.

After all, that's what an ad hominem essentially comes down to.
