While I agree that this is not needed in the strict sense, it would be a nice feature to have. The proposal has the benefit of not being abusable like other ideas which call for some sort of transfer of skill points from one skill to another. It seems like something that would be added as an afterthought to a major expansion. I would like to see it, but not right away, as the devs have much bigger fish to fry at this point.

mmm, what would you think of the next idea?

Just a tickbox?

A tickbox you can choose between all and those you want to see?
So when you enter tickbox mode Big smile you can untick all skills you don't like to see.

You leave tickbox mode and they are gone. It can be used for sending info to api aswell so they will nowhere showup till you "tick" them again.

That way you have a clean sheet, and no difficult programming needed with fees and timestamps etc. No way of a hacker being able to delete skills, no waiting times.

i.m.o you get what you like, with little impact.

I would like to point out at this time that what you are asking for is already implemented into the game.

You have two options at this point in time that CCP has already spent hours of coding on to allow you the Choice™ to fix the mistakes or mis-clicks you made:

Choice™ #1: Biomass
Choice™ #2: Don't update your clone; engage in PVP until that skill is randomly selected as one of the skills to be removed through natural loss of SP.

Now it is simply up to you. Just like the original inclusion of the skills you do not wish to have.

Thank you.


This is hardly sensible, deliberate troll attempt spotted.

Tristanor,

This isn't just about cleaning up skill lists, many people want to reduce their skill point total in a controlled way in order to reduce the cost of medical clones.

Edit: Also, the timer for pulling another skill should be every 2 or 3 months. Another way to prevent abuse is to make it so that it cannot be applied to lvl5 skills. Presumably, if you trained it to lvl5, you want to keep it.
