I don't understand why any player would begrudge giving 350k skillpoints to new players, especially when most of us started with more than that. New players are blocked from about 90% of the content in eve because they don't have the skill points to do it so they usually spend their first weeks grinding through low lvl missions and mining in ventures - probably the worst part of eve. It's like building a 4 star hotel and using a 10 mile dirt road as the driveway.
Only a certain type of player can survive weeks of tedium running missions and mining in high sec and I'm not sure those players should be our taget audience, if we want more pvp oriented gamers to stick around pvp needs to be more accessible. 350k sp is a small but welcome step in the right direction.

Rather it is being suggested and put forth, that there are even greater benefits from adding the 350k to existing characters, as well as new characters created after that date.
I assume there's a good reason: maybe it would create too much workload, or maybe they don't want to set a precedent, I don't know but this is a positive change even if it's not universal.

All these benefits, for everyone, at NO COST and at NO HARM.
We don't know what the cost is, it might not be as simple as pushing a few buttons and everyone gets free sp, I assume this is pretty old code they have to work with, I remember when they changed something on the Drone skill queue and there were complications that took some weeks and probably thousands of tickets before it was sorted. Now if it's not a big task - offering it to all active accounts as a goodwill gesture would do no harm, and would benefit newer players like you a lot more than established players. I have 25million skill points so it won't make a big difference to me, but to someone with 7mil i can see how it would be a nice boost especially if it's not allocated.
My first post wasn't aimed at you, I was talking specifically about the minority of bitters moaning as though the skillpoints were taken directly from them and given to new players.
