Um creative but did you think about what you said before you said it, if you have to spend time unlearning skills at the same rate you learned them why waste your time just leave the skill maybe far in the future you can use it and just train the skill want to begin with.

NO

Also you have this " EvE is about the SANDBOX! " in your sig, and you propose such change... omg

No skill is useless in EVE (except Defender missiles! I WANT MY SP BACK!!!! ) so I have no idea why anyone would choose to waste time forgetting skills they've already learned.

Just because you don't use it today does not mean you will not use it in future.

Also, as other's have pointed out, your actions in EVE have consequences so I would rather not upset the game balance by removing this. I have never heard any other MMO allowing you to change your skills once learned.

No support from me for this.

I totally like this idea and I would use it all the time.

SP are what I'm paying for with my subscription. It's not a gameplay or balancing issue so, it's totally unnecessary to make unlearning SP take additional time and money.

We can only train one character at a time so, all three characters per account share the same SP pool and we should be able to distribute our unlearned SP to any of them.

Eve ought to be about *natural* consequences, not imaginary consequences.

No.

How astute of you.

Almost as astute as the repeated (albeit stupidly modified) "hurrrr skillpoint reallocation" idea

In fact...I will ask a Dev to just go ahead and lock this thread. I can bring this topic up again later when the trolls are fewer if CCP hasn't already enacted a change to this by then.

Oh blah blah blah blah blah...why don't you guys actually come up with something constructive instead of just attacking me with your stupidity?

Feel free to keep trolling this thread. I really don't mind. The more you do the more people will see my idea. Thanks in advance!

I don't even think I can count on one hand the number of times you have attacked me directly in this thread alone Drake. Shall I start reporting you?

Well I partially agree with any kind of re-spec thread ^^ this one doesnt make that much sense tho, since you would lose SP + time that could be used for simply learning something new without losing anything at all...

Back at 2011 Ive posted much better "respec" idea - you can see it here: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1527004&page=1

The whole point is that there be some kind of punishment for training the wrong thing in the first place. We can't just allow a respec for free with no punishment at all. This idea allows you to do the respec making it a logical choice for you right then and there if you don't need or want the skill but still puts you further behind where you would be had you not respecced at all in the long run.

Whats the point if it puts you further behind????

Any reallocating SPs is a bad idea. I dont care if its Aurom (whatever), ISK, PLEX or Unlearning time.... its just a bad idea!

Eve is about consiquences and living with your choices....


You claim the unlearning time is enough 'punishment' for remapping skills... what about all the money or benefit you got from those skills before you unleant them? You used them at one time, why should you be allowed to forget them and flip them into the new FOTM.

No.

Again...it will likely happen. Whether we want it or not is going to be irrelevant.

CCP should be careful about making big changes that the majority of the players donGÇÖt want.

I lol'd. The only ones not wanting ANY form of respec are those psychopathic hardcores and masochists, who likes to punish themselves for no reason. Fortunately, they dont represent the Majority.

This is a proposal simply because some people want a respec option and CCP has already been looking into it and the CSM didn't shoot it down entirely. It is very likely that a respec option of some sort is going to happen eventually whether we want it to or not. Might as well make sure that we have ideas out there so CCP can at least do it with as little impact on the game as possible.
