Originally by: Dierdra Vaal I'm sure some people will find this reason to ***** but to be honest, this is simply a decision that makes the game better for everyone.
Except those of us who took the time to max all our training skills, and are just now seeing a payoff. I think you guys need to come up with an extra bonus to benifit those of us who took the long term view. Give us our due, not just a nerf.

Edited by: Torothanax on 26/11/2010 07:49:15 I've 85 mil sp. 5.4 mil is a cup in the bucket. I'm gettin hit with the nerf bat on all my future training, after taking a significantly longer time to train that 5.4 mil sp then it will take players now. It's not cool when you change the rules mid game. That's why I'm annoyed.
And yes it's a nerf. I will train slower afterward then I do now. Do the math on the soon to be removed 10% bonus.

Originally by: Odnam Moc Even if it were a nerf to you, it's a buff to others.
I'm hearing "I like rock, scissors is fine, but you need to nerf paper."

Originally by: Odnam Moc only thing hurt in this situation is people's inflated sense of their EvE Online PHD character. Now everyone's going to have their own PHD and gosh darnit, it's just not fair.
Dude, try math again. It's a nerf for anyone who took the time to max thier skills. No more 10% bonus on top of maxxed attributes. We will in fact train slower then we do now. Plus it took us significantly longer to train our learning skills without the max attributes everyone else will now have right off the bat.
It takes 3 years to break even after you max them. Some of us are just seeing the payoff, only to have it snatched away. Worse for the people that haven't broken even yet.

Originally by: Odnam Moc "It takes 3 years to break even after you max them."
1) You are looking at this from a raw time investment angle. You are getting 5.4 mil SP back to spend as you see fit, with no restrictions. If things were different, these SP would have been spent somewhere. You know, like, in actual skills that affect actual things your character can actually do in the actual game. No biggie. 2) You openly admit you were planning on playing Eve for well over 3+ years when you made the "investment". CCP is making a change you feel nullifies this investment. Question: What investment is without risk? Did you know CCP would even be in business right now 3 years ago?
Additionally you seem to think that somehow skillpoints start to accrue on top of each other in some mad interest-type avalanche of awesome after the magic number of 3 years. Could you have had more SP at 3 years and 1 day on the old learning system? Yes. But how many years would it have taken for you to be "up" 5.4 million SP? Will you still be playing eve by then?
I maintain my position that the opposition to this is raw emotion in a game that prides itself on phrases like "HTFU", and therefore one of the most ironic things I've ever seen on these internets, and this ain't my first rodeo.
I didn't invest to "break even". I invested to end up ahead in the long run. Like in a couple of years. And yes I fully expected Eve to be around long enough for my time to be worth it. Guess I was right huh? And I fully expect Eve will be around in another 2 or 3 years, with or without this chance to learning skills. It's a good game that continues to improve.
The point is: I and others will now train slower. It's a nerf. An unwarrented nerf. Especially after 7 years. When you mess with skill training, you mess with the core of Eve.
