Remaps for PLEX

I've suggested this in other forum threads, but I'll put it up here for better visibility and discussion:

What do you think about making attribute remaps available in the New Eden store, ie. buy them with PLEX?

CCP Greyscale is discussing adding more industry skills, and we know that CCP Fozzie loves to add new modules and combat skills. Unfortunately, with a six-week release cycle, remapping your attributes so that your skill queue is optimal has become a bit more problematic from the old days where new skills could only be introduced in six-month cycles.

I think that, with the more frequent mini-release schedule, it makes sense to provide some way for players to remap their attributes more often than once per year.

Remaps for PLEX also means more revenue for CCP, ofc, which is a good thing - yet, without being a gold bullet.

Why Plex For Win instead of a six month cycle?

Pretty sure that not only should this be locked as a redundant topic, but that devs themselves have shot down this idea a while back.

Oh, and it's a bad idea in and of itself, even if it didn't violate several forum rules.

So the answer is hell no.

It's 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months, 1 year.

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

From my understand, the main reason is No, is because you must live with your choices and consequences, if you mess up your remap, the problem is on you.

If you read the OP, he wants to add remap for plex to negotiate consequences he have no way to forsee. Changes beeing shown to the public mere weeks before going live, be it modules or skills.

Earlier you had 1 remap/year and 2 releases year, or 0.5 remap per release. This have now changed to 1 remap and 6 releases or 0.17 remap per release.

I dont support remap for plex as it would be way to easy, but some way to get more remaps or faster cooldown would be nice

And unforeseen consequences gets me one less ship as well. Don't see me suggesting ways to make it that much easier to get a new one.

Sure, I get it, you can't predict everything, but this is why you are careful about these kinds of choices, you think before acting.

No, planning ahead is an important part of EVE and so is choices having consequences.

Yes, yes I am. Thanks for noticing.

So what if they introduce new ships, skills, and modules now and then? You don't need to remap to train for them. Just train for them if you want to use them. If you are so focused on SP/hr that you can't bring yourself to train something off map so you can have some fun then you are doing EVE wrong.
