Honestly if this was a large investment of your time you would think to do research before you would commit to training on all of your characters. The information about the drone skills have been posted on the forums for more then a month before the patch hit, so you can really only be mad at yourself for not investing some time but instead jumped the gun and went straight into training.
Why even bother posting to say such a thing? It's like you don't want CCP to treat everyone equally and feel so strongly that you must post about it? Your point is moot, anyway.
I finished training CDO V (having already had SDO V) about a week before the first dev blog announcement. I trained it at that time purely for remap reasons, not because I actually would get benefit immediately from the skill. I planned my training out to be optimal. I spent the ISK for +5s. I used a PLEX to train it with dual-character training. And all of this was a complete waste because CCP decided to remove the skill without any reimbursement for characters like mine (because I already had SDO V, SDO was used for all the skill transitions and CDO was simply and quietly removed). I did not speculate on the dev blog, so your argument is irrelevant. Although, if I had trained the skill because of the dev blog, the inequality of the change would still exist. It really does not matter.
This may only be 10 days of training time. It may be 100 days if you have 10 alts. The fact that CCP implemented a change as careless as this - that is so obviously imbalanced - and is unwilling to respond to any of the valid concerns brought forward by the players is a disgrace. If CCP continues to stay quiet on this and refuses to acknowledge the inequality that resulted from these changes, then it will remain a total blow to CCPs reputation in the minds of quite a few players. It is definitely not an encouraging sign if a change like this can make it into the game, even more discouraging if it is left uncorrected and unacknowledged. What prevents this from happening again with a skill that requires 2 PLEX to train? I guess we have to be careful not to pick the wrong skill combinations, else we might be out of luck... |
