Well, in my case

Was at V, got dropped to I, can't train, getting illegal cue error message, evemon shows skill at V.
Ticket in day after the "gift", got copy/paste reply ....

Don't see many that dropped from V to I - especially since I had the original skill at IV

I also had that illegal queue problem, but for some reason clearing my cache allowed me to queue the skill again.

I still have that double skill in my profile (here, not ingame) and have a difference of quite a few skill points between Evemon, my mobile app, etc. and my character sheet, and no ticket reply :(.

I feel like I somehow ran into a work around for myself, but feel I am at the same time queueing something that isn't there (as it doesn't show up some places and it was already at 5). This leads me to think that after these 4 days of retraining I still can't use my DLA2's again.

I rely on my drones, this isn't fun Ugh

Yep, no point in putting in a ticket when the GM is only going to tell you that they know about it and will be fixing it soon (tm). Now we're three iterations down the road and they have yet to fix the issue. Very disappointing.

CCP - prioritizing the wrong things since 2003.

I love you anyway.

"Guys we've decided to remove the Drone Avionics skill as no one was using it!!!! Drone control range will now be rolled in with the skill level of the drones you are using. No SP refunds because we don't want to screw it up even more."

Put in a ticket complaining about the skill back down to IV and DLA II problem and received the standard response of "We're aware of the problem" etc. - logged in again a day later and it was back to V and no more turning on the DLA II every time I jump into my ship.

It still comes up as having Drone Avionics as IV in EVEMon but I can live with that for the time being (and it being beyond CCP's control obviously) - no idea what changed as I still have the GM Skill Gift IV in my skill history.

Tentatively scheduled for this Thursday (31/07), plans are always subject to change however.

As I much as I welcome an update on this issue, I can hardly believe CCP is so inept and can not fix the bug sooner. Start thinking about fair compensation, CCP.

This issue is into the realm of total BS, CCP staff screwed up the skills on some characters and has taken over a week to have a "possible fix". How about a clear answer of why you could not just drop the drone avionics skill from the module for a few days while you figured out which players you screwed with?

Good lord, quit whining. It's a bug, they've identified it, acknowledged it, are fixing it, and still you want to whine. CCP are unable to go back in time and not encounter this bug, so either get over it or quit, both legitimate choices.

I'm affected. The Help Channel drinking game is "every time someone asks about Drone Avionics, take a shot". So far, I've lost 3 days.
