You are NOT being penalized.
You are actually being helped.
You were just able to spend SP that you haven't earned yet. You have access to skills right now that you shouldn't have.

But didnt stop to think you just got a SP loan for advanced skills... No interest..
Take your gift and thank CCP on your way out.
Almost every Mercenary in DUST would take a SP loan to get a skill they don't have SP for.
Just wow.
Yeah, the logic on these people is ridiculous.
Ok, let's imagine an hypotethical scenario. CCP fudges up big time and every single skill costs 0. I notice this and buy them all. I now have access to every single skill in the game.
Now let's imagine instead of taking my skills back, CCP decides to just correct the price of the skills while leaving me with a 255 million SP negative balance.
Why would i have any reason to complain? Wouldn't i in fact be way more than thankful that CCP allowed me to profit from the bug?
It's hilarious and insane that these people feel they have any reason whatsoever to complain.

Or they cold refund that one skill like they've done before. That would have been nice, because I didn't ask for a damn loan.
Oh i get it now. You thought that's what CCP would do. You knew it was a mistake and you thought you were being smart to profit from it. And now that CCP gave you that skill you're mad that your little scheme is set in print.

If someone really writes a ticket with that intent, they're dumber than i thought.
If i were CCP i'd be like "Oh, you want us to revert the skills you bought and make it so you can't rebuy the same value of skills you have right now? Well, that's an odd and dumb request, but here you go."

And now that CCP gave you that skill you're mad that your little scheme is set in print. Now you're just trolling. I thought i was spending spare SP. I didn't look at the multiplier because I shouldn't have to, and even if I had I wouldn't have assumed it was wrong because I wasn't privy to that information.
Look, let's imagine the following. Let's go back in time and imagine that instead of the Amarr Scout skills you bought, you had opted for another scout suit, with the correct SP prices.
You don't have to be a genius to understand that you wouldn't have enough SP to buy up to the same level you bought. If there was another player that was a complete duplicate of you up until 1.8 launched but that instead of opting for the skills you did, had opted for another with correct SP prices, that duplicate of you would right now have access to less skills than you. You, on the other hand, have the benefit of having access to skills for which your duplicate can't have access to yet.

Ok, let's imagine this mistake hadn't happened.
What would be the result?
You wouldn't have enough SP to buy the skills you did.
But you do have those skills for which you wouldn't have enough SP for.
Hence, the only thing that resulted from this was a profit for you. Your negative SP is SP you were given for free.
I think everyone else would like to have the same benefit you have. The only logical reason for you to complain is if you thought you were gaming the system.

- 1.8 launched, I installed the patch.
- I looked at the skill tree and unlocked the suits I could use the day before.
- With nothing left to improve, and some SP to spare, I decided to try the Amarr scout GÇö not looking at any other Scout suit. I play Amarr, and I expect the skill tree to not be broken. That's not unreasonable.
- After unlocking the prerequesites, I dumped my remaining SP into Amarr Scout because that's what was left, not because it was cheaper than the other Scouts. It was enough for 2 ranks. That's not a lot of SP.
- CCP realized they made a mistake and chose to penalize players for it. I was affected.
Right, now let's imagine your duplicate self prefered Gallente.
- 1.8 launched, I installed the patch.
- I looked at the skill tree and unlocked the suits I could use the day before.
- With nothing left to improve, and some SP to spare, I decided to try the Gallente scout GÇö not looking at any other Scout suit. I play Gallente, and I expect the skill tree to not be broken. That's not unreasonable.
- After unlocking the prerequesites, I dumped my remaining SP into Gallente Scout because that's what was left, not because it was cheaper than the other Scouts. However, I didn't have enough SP so i didn't get the Gallente Scout.
- I now have access to less skills than my duplicate self and he gets to keep his additional skills before he even has SP for them.
You have no reason to complain.

Cool. Now let's imagine yet another alternate reality where the mistake didn't happen in the first place.
That's what this thread is really about.
Sure, let's do that.
- 1.8 launched, I installed the patch.
- I looked at the skill tree and unlocked the suits I could use the day before.
- With nothing left to improve, and some SP to spare, I decided to try the Amarr scout GÇö not looking at any other Scout suit. I play Amarr, and I expect the skill tree to not be broken. That's not unreasonable.
- I didn't have enough SP left to get the Amarr Scout, bummer.
- I guess i'll have to play another week until i have enough to get it.
