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.
Never played Counterstrike.
Can i have lvl 60 learning skills? lol
but seriously ... wow cannot be compared to eve when it comes to training/experience. one is grinding hard core the other is a wating game.
the nearest eve has to experience is faction standings... do some missions gain standings... kill some npc rats and loose standings...
IF CCP does away with all the learning skills I hope they either remove all learnings and give most people sp to redistrubute who have done some learning skills already. no matter what ccp should leave in the learning skill and maybe add a tier 2 and tier 3 learning... Learning which adds 2% per lvl (rank 1 ), plus a tier 2 which adds 3% per lvl ( tank 3 ) and finally a tier 3 which adds 4% ( rank 8 ) that would be nice if ccp got rid of the main 10 attribute based learning skills. requirement for the tier 2 could be... lvl 4 in learning.. and the tier 3 could be lvl 5 in the two lower based learning skills.
