Haven't read whole thread, so only replying to opening post:
There are almost no skills in game which are useless. Each serves a certain purpose which might not be obvious to everyone at first glimpse, but with growing understanding of the game and mechanics people will start to know what each skill does.
Furthermore, because of rebalancing of certain aspects of the game - you mentioned upcoming BC changes - there is no necessity of refunding SP.
The SP will not be wasted on characters that have the skills related to the items being changed. They will, for most players, still be very valuable and essential for their gameplay, even if you don't think so.
Just because things like Heavy Missiles got changed in the past doesn't mean Heavy Missiles are useless now.
Refunding your skillpoints of already trained skills that are perfectly fine just because 'I don't like what I skilled there and I didn't recognize it before i spent several million of SP and therefore a few months worth of training time on their respective level 5' is really stupid. Because your argumentation bases on the statement that CCP changes everything and makes everything useless at some point in time and other things totally overpowered. Whic just isn't true. There will always be a fotm, but hopping from one to another by simply refunding your SP would result in a lot of characters with roughly 20m SP that just switch to the next fotm ship and skills and cry on forums a lot.
This would take away a lot of character development and ... it's just stupid.
However, I would like to see an exchange of skills implemented in the game, just like the Character Bazar.
Say, due to scientific progress in implantology and neuroscience it has become possible to extract certain memories of a capsuleers brain and transfer them into another capsuleers brain.
Sell a skill of yours for ISK.
Why, you ask?
Why i don't just buy a character from the Bazar?
Because maybe i'm pretty happy with the skills and/or name i have and don't want a new character at all, but improve my current one slightly. Like 'I really could use a Carrier, best with skill at 5, however i need it in 1 or 2 weeks and not in 3 months.'
Just find someone willing to sell his Carrier 5.
And to prevent people buying all the skills they need, limit it to one skill per transaction, and every transaction to require the use of an available neural remap. |
