Read this as a nasally, mispronounced and accented form of "herds".

Are you a forum alt? Have you ever wondered why your experience on the forums is always so frustrating and unrewarding? This may help.

I'll use a rather peculiar example to illustrate this point further.

Imagine for a moment that they made the following changes:
- Marauders and Black Ops only require Racial Battleship IV.
- Battleship skill no longer affects ships; bonuses are rolled directly into the ship itself.
- Battleship V is required to construct T2 battleships

How many of you would, who trained Battleship V would readily accept that? You trained the skill for a certain purpose. That purpose is now entirely achievable without the Level V skill. The Level V skill still provides benefits, but not for anything your combat character will ever use.

Explain to me how that is at all different... it's not, it's the exact same in fact. And yet you'd all be freaking out about that because :pvp:

like when they changed carrier skills to require battleship III and noone got reimbursed?

Any time they change anything, people want skillpoint refunds. They should just start saying no in advance.

- We are changing the requirements for [blank] skill to [blank] skill level
- Don't bother asking for SP refunds. Its not happening.

Anchoring V:

The skill requirements for Starbase Defence Management is being reduced to IV with the update today.
This means the only skills that require Anchoring V are now Outpost Construction and Large Mobile Warp Disrupter II

Many of us have corp management alts that have been trained for the specific purpose of managing corporations and starbases. Since the Anchoring skill itself has no benefits, and Outpost Construction / Large Mobile Warp Disruptor will never be used by a corp management alt, this is now effectively wasted SP.

Please refund the SP for Anchoring V upon request, much like has been done in the recent past with other skill changes. Thanks.


Jury Rigging IV:

Fitting rigs will no longer require any actual skills with the update today. The skills will simply affect the level of drawbacks you receive. Engineering rigs however do not have any drawbacks - I could be mistaken but I believe that's correct. As such, Jury Rigging IV is now effectively wasted SP. It does not unlock any new skills, new modules, nor does it provide any benefits.

Please refund the SP for Jury Rigging IV. Thanks.

You do realize that playing EVE provides no tangible benefits in real life? Do you want CCP to refund the time you spent playing?

No

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

So what? You lost 18 days on skills that may get reworked for something later.

I don't get it, but you're welcome anyway Twisted

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.
