Do it right CCP, don't screw over your dwindling player base that has stuck with you through all of the issues so far.
Refund everything not related to vehicle, every tree and ability you did not refund when you gave vehicle drivers the refund in 1.whatever.
You might actually see people start returning if you give back the SP people spent on things that have been changing drastically over the last 8-12 months. |

Your are comparing being able to fight with endgame stuff. Any merc can fight in PC day one just like any EVE pilot can fly out to null day one. With out the support skills or a large fleet then it takes 3-4 months to be good enough to do what your are needed to do. Fly out to null in a month old toon and see what happens. There are months of support skills needed to do PC level things and null things. Don't compare PC to a a 100 ship fleet because they aren't the same. Time needed to be at the upper levels and in the hardcore areas of each game are around the same.
There lies a difference though. The open world nature of EVE allows for very large groups of players to join together in a 'fleet' where new players are less of a hindrance when they are 1/100+ ships. Dust is 16v16 capped and 1 new player is a severe hinderance.
Even then, SP refund isn't about protostomping, it's about newer and potentially returning players feeling better about massive sweeping changes that are happening and feeling more inclined to return or keep playing. There shouldn't be too many more reasons for people to justifiably ask for an SP respec if CCP can start to find some sort of balance in 1.8's line up of suits and weapons. New content won't justify a respec so hopefully they can reach a point where each patch doesn't actually justify a respec in the minds of a large portion of a playerbase.
Whether or not a refund happens for 1.8 should NOT be about who does or does not deserve it. It should be about player retention and potentially bringing people back (like myself). CCP needs to decide which path leads to higher player count. I have my opinions about it, and so does everyone. CCP has more info on what they think will work better for the bottom line in the end, I'm sure that is what their choice will mostly be based on. Maybe that is where the discussion in this thread should lead. |

Refunding infantry SP is a matter of professionalism and good will to the customers. Imagine if all employees at customer of you business would have to write several page long threads to your company about the issue at hand, without any official response for several weeks. Could you Imagine how pissed off the management of the customer company would be?
Maybe you cant understand the above, because you are 18 or younger and haven't had a real job yet. This is my only interpretation of the anti respec HTFU crowd.. Get a fking job
Extremely well put, kind of my same thought too. It's not about who does or does not deserve it, it's about goodwill and professionalism.
