Hi Everyone
I propose that ONCE per year, CCP grants a 2 WEEK window where by all players for the price of 1 x PLEX be given the opportunity to max out 1 x SKILL of their choosing.

Your thoughts please..

I'll take a nice rank 12/14/16 skill for a plex any day, getting 2 months of training for 1 plex is a no brainer.

That said, this is clearly a futile attempt to get around the strong objection of the community to buying SP with plex, and making available during some small, arbitrary window wont save it.

This can only be abused horribly and I cannot in my right mind support this in any way, shape, or form.

One skill, once a year. During Fan Fest, maybe?

This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

No plex for skill points - please

Two possibilities exists: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Someone wants battleship 5 without the ~25 day training time.

*IF* they did it, it should be a fixed number of skill points not "max one skill". I'd much rather max out a number of smaller skills than one big one, and CCP shouldn't be rewarding people just because they happen to be able to train the most intensive skills at the right time.

As with all such proposals, i'd use it if I could, but don't care to see it implemented.

I support the op



... joining the biomass queue.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Standard arguments for skill remaps/reimbusment

It removes the point of having skills to begin with
It removes the point of having attributes
It removes attribute implants from the game
It removes variety and instead encourages FOTM and cookie-cutter setups
It removes the uniqueness, history and "character" of your character
It removes planning and choice and consequences
It removes goal-setting, progression and any achievement in those areas
It kills character trading
It massively boosts older characters over new ones
It introduces "catching up" as a concept in EVE and instantly makes it impossible to do

So the answer is "NO"

no, if they were to do that, it would need to be just before fan fest.

Paying for SP ... I'm gonna have to disagree.

Nothing clever at this time.
