I would like the ability to refund skill points such that they can be reallocated to different skills. Would it be feasible to implement such a feature if there was a restriction on how many points one could refund per time period, and/or a penalty to the quantity of points received from a refund, for example -25%?

I realize this doesn't make sense from a RP point of view, but neither do the boosts to stats that new players can receive either. It would go a long way toward helping new players who become disenchanted with their initial career choices and want to try something new.

Thank you for your time.

No, thank you for not bothering to search for an open topic on this. Which just so happens to be on this page.

Reported for redundancy.

Oh and it's a no.

I read some of the other posts and did not see the suggestion to implement penalties for refunding skill points so that part is not redundant AFAIK. I'd like to hear feedback on that in particular.

Also please drop the attitude.

It's been beaten to death. this is the 15th topic on this that I have seen since I started lurking F&I hard, with every manner of penalties you can imagine having been proposed in the comments of various thread. Lose the attitude that the regulars are being mean, when really, most of us just want people to read the existing comments in the existing threads rather than make us restate why an idea would kill the game over and over.

I just didn't see that so, my bad. But you're being a little prick. Ease up a bit.


EDIT: I did try to search first.

When I use the forum search tool to find similar topics and type in "refund skillpoints":

*I get unrelated topics and not the sticky thread.

When i search for "skillpoints" or "skill points"

*it returns a modal pop-up window error message (search too vague? result too large to return?)

When i use advanced search to search by topic "skillpoints"

*it returns 0 results.

When I google "eve online refund skill points"

*it returns a few threads for 2014 and earlier that don't cover my arguments.

And you broke the forum rules, and then broke into personal attacks when told to follow them, like everyone else.
Thank you for playing "how to tick off the forum regulars".
The search function sits right below the site tree, right under the header bar and probably a third place, considering that it is supposed to be used frequently.

I closed a similar thread not even 24 hours ago. Please use the search function before posting future ideas.

As a courtesy to other forum users, please search to see if there is a thread already open on the topic you wish to discuss. If so, please place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forums needlessly, causing good feedback and ideas to be lost. Please keep discussions regarding a topic to a single thread.

Thread closed.
