Me too!

Oh and when you buy 5 implants that cost a total of less than 400m for a billion isk, you should know better by now..

LOL

The only reason pilots think of implants as a burden is because they're locked down by an old arbitrary game mechanic that desperately needs to be updated and modernized. If clone jumping were re-tooled, we wouldn't be having people bring this up constantly. That CCP would rather take tools away from the game instead of budge just a little on a game mechanic that can be updated just as much as any ship or other game mechanic is insane. They can take away boarding ships in space while under a criminal flag, skynet, and combat refitting, but give local jump-cloning reduced cooldown is just a bridge too far? This is madness.

You can take out learning implants, and the risk-averse will still be risk-averse. And you will STILL need to update the jump-clone mechanic because the entire game has changed and that needs to as well. So you accomplish nothing and gimp the game in the process. Removing learning implants is daft, unless they intend to replace it with a more interesting system - which I'd be VERY open to hearing about but so far I haven't heard anything.
