They have no right to charge us for THEIR mistakes causing us to skill into useless things, or overskill into things that are currently not working as intended. Regardless of which problem is the case, it's a problem caused by CCP's own mistake, not by players making bad decisions.
So this is the excuse for people going bat sh@t crazy? I wonder how many broken skills we had last build? I want to see how many people blew all their sp going straight into proto on day one and how many of those people are wanting refunds....
If a skill is broken, give the player that sp back for that skill....simple
It would be that simple if it wasn't a skill that literally completely invalidates the entire concept of vehicle fittings by being broken.
Our +5% PG skill doesn't give +5% PG. It supposedly gives a 5% reduction in CPU cost for PG modules, but on my tank, it doesn't seem to be doing that either. And while some people have said otherwise, my Electronics skill doesn't seem to have applied the relevant 5% CPU increase either.
When you literally can't skill into vehicles because of broken skills not working as described, and you find out after skilling into several aspects of the vehicle before realising the skills don't work, only refunding the broken skills isn't a solution. I can't fit a tank as I had planned, and as I had worked out I should be able to, and as such, I'm not going to run tanks on that character. It's an alt with a fairly tight SP limit, not my main, so I don't have SP to spare on a series of broken skills that don't apply their bonuses as advertised, and without those skills, I'm going to need to respec completely. ALL the skills that have issues need fixing and refunding, and if they aren't being fixed to match the current descriptions, then a FULL respec is needed. Or at least the whole vehicle tree needs to be refunded.
EDIT: although even then, the minimal skills I've trained for infantry were to support my intended role as a tanker, so a full respec would still be more worthwhile so I can fix my character and PROPERLY build for the new intended role.
