Sounds like the baisc point of this thread is:
"I want it NOW! WAAAAH!"
If nothing else, having to learn the skills to shorten your training time teaches a very important EvE Mechanic:
Patience.
The patience it takes to train the learning skills (and ANYONE who trains them all to IV as the first thing they do in EvE is a absolute fool) translates over very will intot he rest of the real-time-based training timesink. The reward is down the road, when skills that would take a month to train take less time - it's been said that you only fully realize the benefits of the learning skills a year and a half into EvE. Whether or not that's true I'm not gonna comment on :)
As it is, EvE is a game of long-term planning and training to fit thet plan - and the Learning skills work to foster that attitude. The basic point of ANY of the "Remove the learning skills NOW thread is simple - remove the skills, boost everyone 10 points.
Not everyone gets the skills to 5, sometimes only 4 or 3 - so you gove those people a free boost in the name of "equality". You want to apply the SP somewhere else - like to the skill currently training so that that received a ONE-TIME boost, maybe to completion. And if that skill completes and there are points left over, then what? You DON'T accumulate SP in this game unless you're actively training something - so those "extra" points get thrown away.
Once again, analyze the logic of it - it boils down to "I want it NOW! WAAAAH!"
Especially reprehensible in a game where long-term goals are rewarded - over time.
Enough - go back to Counterstrike.
You are wrong, I am patient and so are people who have actually trained these skill, after all I did train them, but there is a difference between patience and taking the cake, these skills are just completely flawed, no point to them what so ever and frankly it gets to me a little because this is a month of game time and frankly they must be trained so frankly it's not an option so frankly whats the point? these points should integrated in to the character creation process or completely removed and lower skill training time, this would result in the same amount of training time overall minus a month or so for all for LV4. and I don't even want to get started on training learning to LV5.
If thats being inpatient then I am Father Christmas I am willing to play this game and put the time in to it, I have planned over a year ahead and I'm all for it, I just don't see the point on the learning skills, it's a complete drain on the game, from what I have seen so far this game is great, has some stuff I don't like but I'm not going to get in to that here, overall the game is great, I just do not understand why things like learning skills exist.
And why the hell do ships stop so far away from gates in auto pilot, there I said it lol, another whine, it's just pointless shit like this I seriously do...not...get...
