I'll be charitable and assume that you speak english as a distant second language. As for your reasoning...I can't really excuse you.
Twenty five million isk is indeed a small amount of money. That wasn't the point. The point is that it's a poor excuse for robbing a man to say that it's not much.

CCP robbed you of nothing and you thinking that shows you have zero understanding of CCP's EULA. Also, you were obviously not around when CCP introduced the learning skills and how that was a mistake when it occurred. So this is nothing more then CCP correcting a move that they have thought was a bad one for many years. So that is why you should not be upset about it, as for why you are mad about it and how to fix that, I have no clue.
Good luck with your healing process

You are noting but a blow hard. Grow up and deal with the change. CCP decided a long time ago that the learning skills were a bad implementation. If you have not been around long enough to see or hear that then it is your own problem. Now learn to deal with this change and suck it up. The fact that we have implants in game, that instantaneously increase attributes alone, makes the concept if learning skills stupid.

You could argue that CCP's implementation was lacking in some way, but the gameplay principle was surely a good one?
Maybe if we can all agree that the idea was good, just the implementation lacking, there might be some progress in this argument, and we might be able to give CCP some food for thought.
From someone that has an extensive background in pen and paper role playing, the concept of having a skill to train just to increase attributes is an abhorrent concept. Items are used to do that or they advance with application of experience later in the game. So the only way for the learning skills to be even really tolerant for someone like me they would have to be skills that could only be trained at certain times, say after certain minimums within the skill tree are met, and that does not sound appealing.
So my stance is that the skills are and were unnecessary and the removal of them is none too soon. There is no dumbing down with their removal and I am not really sure what to think, not that it really bothers me, about pilots that think that this decision dumbs down EVE. It may be dumbing it down for people that already know the game and are doing nothing but creating alts or starting over, but this will do nothing but help retention of the 'new normal' gamer a little longer and in the end that is what business is about.
I see this decision as CCP deciding to remove skills that create a negative perception in new playerÆs minds that their short and log term advancement is determined by these 11 skills and they 'should' train them soonÖ at the detriment to their short term usable skill advancement.
