EVE General Discussion

You are confusing happy with stupid. If it was about happiness then everyone could ask for a trillion ISKs and we all would be equal and nothing would break. The markets would go crazy for a few weeks, but this is nothing the sandbox cannot handle.

We are also only talking about Mining Barges V and a one time only reimbursement of a limited number of SPs as a consequence of a game change. In your disaster scenario are you implying that CCP is constantly changing all skills around, which I agree would break the game eventually, but this is not the case.

…apart from the economy, which is not designed for people getting free money.

No, we're talking about the simple principle that skills should not be reimbursed just because people don't want them any more for whatever reason, because that would break things. Instead, you train the skills you want to train and you get the benefits you want to get. Only if those benefits are outright removed do you get the SP back, because only then does the time become wasted.

So the question remains: why should you be reimbursed for something you haven't lost and for something that hasn't changed?

Nope.

The fact that we are.

Sorry to see you not having much belief in EVE's economy. More ISKs for me.

I do understand you having a need for principles, but it is not what this is about.

There is no need for a compromise. It is really just a few players asking CCP for a reimbursement and others, who disagree with whatever.

Caldari Titan V, didn''t want that big blue boat anyway.

Well that's an interesting summary

Yes, they want to be treated with respect, which to you is utterly pathetic.

There is simply nothing you can do to stop them from asking anyway, is there?

No that isn't what happened here. You either have serious reading-comprehension issues, or you are an epic troll.



Wrong again. I didn't want the skills before. And I don't want them now. But 'want' has never had anything to do with it. I was willing to accept training into skills I didn't want in order to get to skills that I did want, provided there were certain assumptions about the game, and a certain "world view."

The correct analogy is getting a degree at a university, of which I have two. I don't know where you come from or how it is where you are, but in the USA you are typically "forced" (if you want a certain degree) to take a bunch of useless courses and time sinks which have absolutely nothing to do with the degree you are pursuing. But if you want that degree, you have to take the useless crap and time sinks with it. There is no other option. I have an engineering degree but was forced to take foreign languages, music appreciation, and a whole host of things that I had no interest in, did not help me in life, and which I've already forgotten because I never used it. This wasn't just my experience, it was the experience of every person I know who got a degree.

Being the troll or idiot you are, you will say one of two things: 1) you shouldn't have taken courses in college that you didn't want, or 2) this is somehow different. In both cases you would be wrong of course, just as you've been wrong with everything else you've said. However, I'm confident in the knowledge that anyone who went to college had this same experience, so 99.9% of people in the 'real world' (i.e. not on these forums) agree with me.

Now, troll moar.
