A well-written proposal, yours.

Still, no.
Remaps added flexibility by making a basic element of the game, your character, an arbitrary thing that could be molded and remolded to suit the player's whim.
However, I firmly believe that it serves EVE as a game to have choices with meaningful consequences. Restricting players through such, as for examply through character generation, is good both for a competitive game and a virtual universe. If you wish to change your playstyle and need play along with the "best", whip out a new character or stick with your old one but be prepared to be patient.

Remapping once a year was bad enough. Allowing to do so at will makes choices mean even less. Some will remap for every skill they train in order to "optimize" their "progress".
In that perspective, PLEX for remap is also basically another pay4win mechanic. I don't care so much for those.

Since the benefit of the remaps is honestly negligible in terms of actual time I will go ahead and say it's ok by me. Seriously...I have looked at all the possible reductions in time for everything I still need to train and in the span of a year it is a total of something along the lines of 5 days of time saved compared to what I have now which is pretty much even across the board in terms of stats. 5 days really doesn't mean all that much to me even at 55 mil SP. Frankly the people this change would benefit the most would be the newbies and even then the benefit isn't so much that I think it would be any kind of problem at all. If anything it would just help more people get more SP faster to get into PvP and Nullsec/WH combat faster. THAT I am all for. You want more people in Nullsec for PvP stuff? Give newbies a faster way into Nullsec.

I would like to see an opportunity to reallocate your entire skills once at some point. There are some many skills you train at the start because you dont know any different, thats just wasted

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.

The issue in your logic is that you assume the rookies understand the game as well as the older players. Rookies rarely actually understand most of the core philosophies of Eve. They are still expecting Eve to be a cookie cutter MMO like all the other ones they've played.

But Eve is a dark and dangerous place where there are consequences to your actions. Older players usually appreciate that part of the Eve design philosophy and don't want to throw that away simply because some noobs feel like it should be easier.
