If you want to force people into Rokhs, refund their points and let them put them into it instead.

I agree, give them all their hulk-specific skills back. That would be...Exhumers III? Congrats, you get like half a day of training back.

So, CCP released the goons on the world?


please remove yourself from the living.


They sanctioned the actions so yes. Telling someone to kill themselves is pretty low as well, as I suspect your IQ to be.


We also suspect you have a 2 digit IQ.


Well aren't you surprising, you said something other than 'its a sandbox-not a theme park mmo'.


Yes i did, and it help you find out after 9 YEARS what EvE is.

no they shouldn't; refunding points is only reserved for ccp removing something from the game. it's an extreme measure and should almost never be used.

Thank you. I knew the proposal would stir up the hive but I wanted a lively discussion. Not a flame war as it turned into but a discussion as I think that current events in EVE has gone too far.

and to be on-topic ...

@Floppie, yeah the "hulk specific" skill is Exhumers III, which is like a day (at most) of training. It's the Mining Barge and Astrogeology 5 that kill you Bear

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Maybe you should have made some kind of reasonable and relevant point on that topic, then, rather than make a silly and unfounded demand regarding something completely different…

You can use a covetor, I hear they're safe, relatively inexpensive compared to Hulk and have a good yield despite that big discount.

It wasn't a demand in any form. It was a suggestion. Not a too far fetched one either in my opinion. The grounds for the suggestion come from the goons itself. Over and over it has been suggested by them and their fans that people mine in Rokhs, this being the case and the actions of the goons supported by CCP I felt it not too unreasonable to suggest that the people with alot of training time spent to get a hulk get the points back to get their rokhs rather than pay for even more training while the previous time is now wasted. I fail to see really how this is a demand, is silly or trolling at all. Perhaps if I posted in danish I could have better expressed myself, not sure, I think it was rather to the point.

Uh-huh…

“If you want to force people into Rokhs, refund their points and let them put them into it instead.”

Just because it was based on a flawed and uninformed premise doesn't make it any less of a demand.

It's silly because all kinds of “sp remap/refund” requests are silly to begin with and because of that flawed premise. There is absolutely no reason CCP should give you something because of something players decide to do, and there is definitely no reason why they should give you any SP back.

Stop saying EVE is a Sandbox and at the same time telling others how to play EVE.

EvE is anything but a Sandbox, it has some Sandbox elements but it is not a true sandbox, not even close.
