What I would like to point out is that there seems to be bias in terms of what kind of people surf the forums. In other words, people who mainly surf the forum are th veterans who DO NOT want this change to happen, whereas most of the people with whom I spoke with and who wanted the change were more or less rookies. And rookies initially rarelly crawl through the forums - hence this group is underrepresented.
I am a rookie, but I am not mentally challenged. I am fully aware of the implications of my remap, I am aware of what the length of a year is, and I sought advice both from corpmates, the forum (through lurking and trawling through old posts) and evelopedia before making my choice. If I do suddenly do a U turn and completely rethink what direction I want my pilot to go in, I would be far more interested in relocating my skill points than another remap - although on a personal level I object to that as well, as I believe the choices you make should actually matter. If I do realise that my remap has been a big mistake, I still have another one remap gathering dust. Thats why newbs have two remaps, so they can muck one up and be able to redeem their pilot.
Being able to trade Plex for this is an advancement of real money trading, something Eve needs to avoid at all costs. I've seen what that leads to, when four of the top ten players spend a combined total of $6000 per month on a game - there is no way 98% of the players can compete with that. End result - the game is dying fast. One of the reasons I have taken up Eve is the lack of noticeable advantage that can be gained with real money trading, only a small amount of space barbie faggottry is currently present. Any move to expand the advantage gained with real money needs to be stamped on asap - once you open the pandora's box of real money trading for ingame advantage, the game is dead. It may stagger on for months, maybe even a year or two, but trust me - real money for ingame advantage will be the end of Eve.
But full credit to the OP for writing up the proposal so well. I'd much rather read a shocking idea eloquently written than a good idea full of butthurt. |
