Yeah that'll improve Eve, lets just keep adding skills.
Lets have tier 3 gunnery so I can instapop your battleship in my Tempest.
You know what would be an improvement?
Evemon without having to use a third-party product.
A skillque.
Less lag.
Some kind of probe that burns through cloaking, to catch chinese farmers and cloaked idlers who sit in a system 23x7.
Those are things that would actually improve the game, not "yeah lets have another 9 months of training learning skills."
It wasnt fun doing the tier 1's.
It wasnt fun doing the tier 2's.
It sure as hell wont be fun doing the tier 3's, but if they came out we'd all have do them to keep up with the SP generation curve.

Then you're a fool. Massive time investment in learning skills is not an immediate mandatory requirement. If you think it is then you're entirely missing the point of the game. This. Is. Not. A. Skillpoint. Race. You don't have to have OMGWTFBBQ skillpoints/hour to have fun, but I guess it must wound your ego not to have more SP/hour than all your friends.
If CCP creates a way to generate X number of SP/hr then it will also create places for this SP to go.
That means there will be more gunnery skills, more nav skills, more more more.
They not just gonna give you Percetion tier 3 and leave the same gunnery specialization, they will have new skills to take advantage of tier 3.
So if you are specialized in ANY thing, be it gunnery, science, mining, etc, if they make tier 3 learning skills, there will also be new skills for you to learn to compete with your peers.
Or you are going to be like the guy mining in cruiser vs a guy mining in a barge, he is going to make more money than you, buy T2 BPO's earlier than you, produce ships earlier than you, and generally become a trillionnaire earlier than you.
If you are content to fly around and look at the pretty pictures, you dont need top learning skills.
If your goal is galactic conquest, then you need top notch SP generation.
