I really don't think attributes matter that much as far as diversity goes in
eve.

Increasing the skills that use Charisma isn't going to solve anything if they aren't related to your career path.

Being able to remap your attributes every six months is fine. It means you either pick a solid layout that allows you to train efficiently in both perception and intelligence or you select an uber focused layout and focus train. The issue with doing this is obvious. Most people find it hard enough focus training for 3 months let alone 6. What are the days gained by doing an uber focus layout vs a perception/intell balance? I recon the total days aren't that many.

Most people with six month old characters will find it hard to focus training in one area, but as time goes on it gets easier and easier to do it.

The change will help the vets more than the noobs, and that's a bad thing.

A valid point Rodj...

Though one could also say that the older characters would probably sink their focused training into lvl5 skills, which as we know lvl5 skills for the most part don't really add that much of a advantage -except when used for unlocking more content. I think it would be safe to assume that most older characters would already have most of these within their racial spec.

From my point of view we would see a lot more cross training. Which imo would be a good thing.

I have come to realise that a rack of Lvl.5 skills counts for more than is intuitively obvious.

actually, best spec for newbie is int/mem high, rest low. even for combat pilot, everyone (except maybe traders) will need learning and fitting skills, all of it int/mem intensive. this is not to say newbie should start with 3+ month learning (no matter how efficient would that be in the long run), just that training diverse basic skills favors int/mem build.

iirc due to the new 100% boost etc you can get 5/4 learning skills in somthing like 3 weeks with int/mem focus if they can use their freespecs at anytime they are laughing all the way to the increased learning speed

New characters are now able to redistribute their attribute points at will any time after character creation (Twice for free). This option is available on the Character SheetÆs Attributes screen. Pilots pick their character attributes in a way that supports their expected gameplay. With Attribute Respecification, players will be able to change their core attributes (charisma, intelligence, memory, perception, willpower) within the game. Older characters can now redistribute their attribute points once every six months.

Dude! its 5 million ISK per respec, Its NOT a "For USD" deal like the other things (most games use IGC to "pay" for respeciing) just mine Veldspar for half an hour or so in a hulk.

Lets be blunt

They did this for one reason only.

to make it easyer to do everything on one toon. lets face it the skillpile you need to do things grows with each expansion, and in some cases you end up with skills that are totaly useless. Heck ask anyone who flies BC/Batleships almost exclusivly nowdays how they feel about the skills they invested way back to specialise in Destryers or Assualt frigates.(or the guy who started off as a mining-producer who now spends 95% of his time as a FC in PvP or doing the odd Exploration bit with his freinds because its a slow day)

There's a simple answer to all this, if you don't like it, DON'T DO IT! Maybe you don't like this but many others have been waiting years for something like this. Just because you think this is a bad idea for yourself doesn't mean others do.
