The people whining over this increase in skill points remind me of children who have been told they must halve a candy bar. One of the children starts to cry and kick his feet and whine that his portion of the candybar is slightly smaller. It's just plain silly and childish.

It's not a good analogy, but here is a better one. A child has worked hard all day in return for a promised candybar. His brother has sat on his rump and done nothing. At the end of the day, Grandma gives the hard working boy a candybar. She gives the same thing to the brother who did nothing. In return for his service, the child who worked feels like a fool. Thats bad policy for a government, a grandmother, or a game company.

Bad policy for a company? Rediculas, making changes to attract and keep new players is good for the company. It's all about the money. If they gain 10 new player's for every one player they loose to change. They have done there job. And the players who stay through the change will prosper because the game will have a healthy influx of new players. Or they can do as some other games have done and cater to a few whining older players and watch there subs go down and end up with a stagnate game. There doing the right thing and if you mistakenly think for one minute there going to miss you they won't, because there going to have happy new customers to replace you with.

Looks to me like CCP is lacking a appreciation for the current players, and are more interested in the advertising part of EVE =( I REALLY hope All existing players also get a 800SP skill boost, I could really use it =(
Sure they appreciate them. They appreciate them so much there doing what they can to draw new players in to staying/coming so they can keep "there game growing" and make money at the same time.

I'm not really sure which side of this debate I fall on, but I would really like the hear the devs' response to this, which is a valid question/concern. Some transparency would be appreciated by all, I'm sure.
"From the Fanfest, They are indeed changing the character creation. Their reason for this is they want new players to be worth something to other players. Dev stritcly said that it's not fun training things for days on end and not being able to do much else as a new player. They want new players to be able to get into the game and actually be able to have fun and do things."
