Edited by: Shandir on 25/11/2010 12:48:36 "Contracts containing learning skills will have those skillbooks substituted for copies of the Pax Amarria."
So if you're trying to scam newbies with it at the time of the patch, CCP slaps you on the wrist, takes your book (and no refund) and tells you to straighten up and find faith?
Awesome.
Edit: I support this change wholeheartedly, I have known 2-3 players who quit the game early because learning skills made no sense to them and they got bored.

Noone seems to have said that there would be a forced remap. Dunno where you guys are getting that from. Also, you can't have achura stats *and* be suffering from not quite perfect remapped stats. That's dumb. You either have achura stats, or you've remapped to pri/sec, not both.

The boost long term players are asking for in exchange for their patience and dedication is that these points aren't attached to attributes. A player can allocate them against skills that they are not mapped for - almost all the long term players (and many of the shorter term players) will be doing this. Skills they no doubt trained at higher speed than average will be reallocated to skills they don't want to remap for (probably charisma-based) This is the bone you're being thrown in addition to getting effectively 6m free skillpoints. If you consider the rate at which you'd train those cross-attribute skills, it will outweigh the 70-whatever SP/h you're losing on optimal remaps (only).
You're getting 6m free skillpoints (yes, they are free) just like everyone else will in effect be getting (all the newbies getting 6m SP worth of effect) AND you're getting to use points trained at medium-high speed for skills you would otherwise train at medium-slow speed.
Unless you've already trained every possible skill that you're not mapped for.

Originally by: Pottsey Look at it this way. You spend 5mill SP pool on your current plan. Your circumstanceÆs change and you change skill plan(s). Those new skill plans will end up with 5 million less SP in them after 8 years then what the current system would have. ThatÆs a nerf in the new skill plans in year 1 yet alone by year 8. That nerf has turned into a 5mill loss in SP for the new skill plans but a bonues for the skill plan that got the SP pool. So its a bonues and a nerf.
So if you make the wrong choice, then this is a nerf. I think I know how to avoid this.
Don't make the wrong choice. If your circumstances are likely to change that drastically, then hold onto the SP until you're sure what you need to do with them - SP does not get any less valuable over time (at least not after this change).

Originally by: Malcanis Jesus Christ, someone gets it.
Anyone who can't see that this is a massive real boost to older players should close their browser, pick up the phone and sign up for nightschool classes on basic maths.
Anyone who has not at least did the maths to see if they should be training learning skills *right now* is failing.
