If you give lazy beggars free attributes then you should give those who made a strategic choice something more. Otherwise this is a handout which wreaks of redistribution of earned competitive advantage.
Yea, maybe CCP should ask SOE how dumbing down SWG worked out for them. At least when they did, SOE did give some small skill advantage to long time vets who had busted their butt to skill up their toons. Even that was not enough to save the game as vets left in droves. I canceled 5 accounts within a week of that SOE blunder and swore I would never play another SOE game again and I haven't. CCP is not even going to do that. Returning just the learning skill points is totally unacceptable. There has to be additional compensation as there is going to be many in the player base (including myself)that are gonna feel we have been taken for a sucker. New players be damned, CCP needs to adequately take care of the vets too and this plan to just return sp's is a friggen insult. Man o man talk about deja vu, get it together CCP!!

See, I knew we'd get screwed. I had a PLAN too; and it involved training Perception + Willpower skills for the next two whole years; and at 2772 sp/h, thank you. And now I'm being robbed of 72 sp/h, which is 615,168 sp / year. Which means I lose a total of 1,230,336 sp on this deal in total for my current PLAN.
Once again.
EIGHT YEARS BEFORE YOU WILL FEEL THE "NERF".
Once again.
Dunno where you're getting that silly 8 years from, but I'm losing 72 sp/h immediately, so I feel the nerf instantly.
I'll make it easy for you to understand. You drop 72sp/hr, however you get a gift (reimbursement) of 5,376,000 SP (assuming you have 5/5 learning). This means it will be 8.5 years before you are at a net loss.
To put it another way, if you spent your reimbursement of 5,376,000 SP at the rate of 72 sp/hr to keep your training rate at the same level it would last you 8.5 years.
So you won't actually feel your nerf for 8.5 years.
This 8 year argument is rediculous. The 5,378,000 sp's are for skills we have already learned. We are to simply reallocate them as we choose. We are not getting additional sp's just the learning ones we have already earned as of Dec 14. The nerf is 72 SP/HR which is felt immediately not in 8 years. It takes 8 years to earn 5,378,000 sp's at a rate of 72 sp/hr. so what? The nerf takes place immediately and is felt immediately. u skill 72 sp/hr less. how hard is that to understand? the 8 year rule just tells us we will skill 5,378,000 points less in 8 years so the nerf over 8 years is 5,378,000 sp's. which happens to match the amount of sp's we are going to reallocate if we are maxed out in learning. Where you say we won't feel it for 8 years makes no sense. As you see the nerf over 8 years simply matches what we are going to reallocate. The more years you go the bigger the total sp nerf gets. Again, we are not getting additional sp's just a reallocation of what we already have. It doesn't matter if there learning sp's or whatever sp's. Reallocation is for existing sp's so that after reallocation we will have exactly the same amount of sp's but in diff skills and we will be skilling at 72 sp/hr less.
