It just would have been nice to have these options right out the door from the beginning and now it just seems like I have to bend over because of something that was not my fault ... by not having these choices from the start. 
 Tanking is worse now while being more accessible to more Mercs. From the business view that is good because those with AUR can buy into a decent enough tank with little SP. If they want to convert to ISK version those with AUR are more likely to use boosters (one would think).
 
 However the obvious decline in worth, abilities and design of Tanks generated massive hate, QQ and threats to leave Dust. About a month before 1.7 they finally posted that a SP refund was on the table although so was everything else. Nothing was final, so shut up basically.
 
 Well, tankers didn't shut up. They kept the QQ, hate and 'I am done with Dust' comments going. Then a week or so before 1.7 even the dullards at CCP/Shanghai realized that there was no way to use the old Skill Tree for any vehicle system going forward. They had changed nearly everything in it. Finally they announced that 1.7 will include the SP refund demanded by many, which would include 'Reality' as well.
 
 This time, the Drop Suit Command Skill Tree is being reset because there is no way to use the old with the complete, missing the middle suits CPU, PG and slot remix they will do at some non-defined future date with no SP refund.
 
 However from the view of a Merc, there are many Upgrades and Weapons I would not have skilled into, AT ALL, with the bonuses in the various suits being what they are. But as stated by others, it is not the end of the world. Just a waste of several million SP. CCP is committed to Dust taking seven or more years to fill out the Skill Tree. That means no refunds for Upgrades and Weapons while demanding an ever increasing number of weapons and abilities.
 
 Hope this help you see the situation. As I see it anyway, there is no way to see it the same way as CCP sees it.
  
 And so it goes. |
