Who would love to see one of character skil lreset tokens.

I played for years, then came back after a 2 year break to find cosmos pretty much gone and scanning is now the thing, then they took that away by letting epople see the stuff in open space no matter what the skill, yes they still need probes but now those little things that anyone can get to that only a scanner could get before and all those little silly skills that I totaly never use any more such as planet managment etc.. Also i swapped to caladari instead of Gallente, I would just love the opertunity to reset my skill points just once so i can re balance to the game as it is now, not like it was 10 years ago when I started playing.

Who else thinks this would be nice to see? I dont think its allot to ask (not asking for everything reset just the skil points so we can redistribute them. We know it can be done as its been done when you removed some skills in the past.) I want to keep m y agents and what not i just want to redo my entire set up to enable me to better be involved in a ever evolving world where half my skills are now never used.

Not for me I think, one problem I see immediately is buying an old unreset character from the bazaar and hey presto! perfect FotM pilot.

Actually I'd not mind massively if players were legitimately back after a gap of several years unsubbed and the GMs could help out - much like sometimes happens to old returning null players getting stuff moved as a one off from stations they could no longer dock at.

They could make it an optional $10 extra or something when resubbing after 24+ months of inactivity.


Can't see how that is exploitable.

problem is i made those desiscions long ago and ccp changed the game around. made cosmos then made the scanning skills then gave it up so any one can see the stuff when they enter a area. I used to make money off that now every man and his dog are up to it.

I dont think its much, end of the day yes there may be the odd account bought and reset but we are talking a account already pimped out anyway so the skills are already there im just talking of a way to redistribute points. this may well bring people back to the game who dont play becasue they trully dont like the skilsl tyey have from years ago.

not refering to a character im refering to a one off token per account that can be redeemed (linked to the account) and reset only if that character is not previously bought. I want to be clear, one token per account. the token can only be used on characters YOU created on that account.

The token could not be transfered with a character nor a character with a token used on it but no skills set copuld not be sold or transfered

No. For all the reasons it's always been no.

Also, reported for redundancy.

Not sure on this idea, but I am leaning towards not supporting this idea.

Skills trained in this game are never really wasted, you will always have them no matter what and you may find different ways to utilize them as you adapt to the way the game is now or CCP may make changes in the future and you find that you wish you had those skills back.

My biggest concern is where does it end.
You say a once only reset, once only for who, the player or the character?

Once only for the character and I would not support it as it would allow people to buy characters and use the reset to instantly make them whatever they want at the moment.

Make it a once only chance for each person and then for one character only as a way of helping people such as your self and you would have an idea that I could support.
