Why the reroll? Most skills in eve build upon each other. What new direction are you seeing where a year+ of support skills (engineering, electronics, tank, etc) won't be used again. I am x-trained all 4 races up to t3 sub caps (just not industrials, only have 1 which does me fine for transport needs). this rolled off the lists since I had lots of cores done on the first race and it was just weapons and ships for the follow ons.

I will also say as a 6 years old player who trimmed off accounts most of my alts are now not needed. My main does everything they do. Except the indy part which I am burned out on and well ccp screwed me over by converting a skill for ME to PE (useless to me) and not burning sp in case ccp redoes this and some other skill goes to crap tbh. Freigher alt...replaced by main having that. trade skills on an alt....replaced by main. Can go and on. Take away is my main has redirected fine over the years. Only als I give 3 craps about are cyno ones if/when I return to 0.0 and jump caps/blops around tbh. I can't jump myself true solo lol.

What happens if you want to transfer one of your new 100mil SP alts then?

I see the point.
If you have a character in a wormhole corp and want to try nullsec for a while, and not leave your friends, you need a new character.
Training one up from zero, when you have already spent the time training, is just a right royal pain in the arse. And gets you frustrated for the next year or two, as you grind your skills up day by day, just to be where you were before.

I would pay CCP to be able to do this and I wouldn't care if I couldn't sell it. I would have fun playing instead.

This is insanely abusable.

Not supported, now or ever.

I am very interested, in how it could be abusable? You are duplicating you, on the same account, and you cannot sell the account character, and you cannot hide it on a full API.

If it is abuseable then naturally that should be resolved.

If it is just an unthinking gut reaction, then possibly that can be overcome with some thought.

It would undoubtedly lead to fewer professional character producers, selling toons, but happier customers.

That would be something for CCP to decide, But I personally would rather give my money to CCP.

I never understood why people feel the need to scrap their whole character just to spend less than a year training ~10% faster down a new path, when they could much more easily train in the new direction on their old character. When you take into account side supporting skills, they'd probably be saving time even before being able to remap again.

The only valid purpose I see for giving players a way to copy skillpoints from one character to another is to allow them to modify their self image, and you can already do that by looks via a character resculpt. For name changing, post in one of the threads based on that idea. My personal view on name changes is that it's fine as long as your character's name history is preserved on their info page, and you can pull them up by searching any of their previous names.

P.S.: post with your main
