Saying that there are no wasted skill points and assuming that one will get bored of their role and cross-skill into another one is just not true of all players .
I do not agree with resetting the SP's of players unless new content comes around that will change how the game is played , hence the last patch but it just seems like thinking like that stopped players from getting their skill points refunded so that they could place them where that particular player feels they would serve them best .
It should be a choice and not to have some SP's trapped in a item that one would not use for the sake of " assuming " is just not right or fair in any since of a matter when most had their role changed by different racial bonuses and changes from the patch upgrade .
If I was a Medic Logi that was Caldari and had all my equipment skill points placed into needle's and Rep tools , after the change now since my role bonus has changed , the needle's and rep tool now has a role bonus and not a overall effect by me just being a logi , now I have to be a specific race's logi to get an individual bonus where being a logi during 1.7 ... one didn't have to worry about that . Those items would have a better effect in another race's role , which hurts the previous players who took the time to create a role for their particular use and now it has been compartmentalized .
If I was a Caldari assault that used Plasma Rifle's and now my role bonus gives it to a Rail Rifle . What if I didn't want to use a Rail Rifle ..??.. so now I have to invest more skill points into another item or another race's role to receive the maximum potential for skilling into a weapon that I like and choose to use .
This game has just changed in dramatic ways and we still don't have the bonuses active on some character's , play style's have changed , now a bonus effect's a race and not the role that is played .
I just can't agree with the , " no wasted skill point's " theory because I have a lot of items that I don't use , try to find a place to use and now that I have racial parity somewhat ... I don't have to use some other race's item because now I have my own to use , so to say that there are no wasted skill points in this game is just not true .
It's kind of irresponsible in saying this as well because many of the changes that just happened wiped away most of the previous role's and the way that most played the game as a whole . Only those with an incredible amount of skill points can shrug off what has just transpired but for those who need to make every skill point count , this has hurt them greatly . Just because you have items that are not used and you have tons of prototype doesn't mean that you can expect others to go threw what you went threw to find the best use for their SP's . Some players just want to do what's right and most efficient in their eyes .
No one can deny that the changes during 1.8 has changed this game in ways that many haven't seen since the beginning because now the table is being set and players are realizing where the borderline's are , where before there wasn't such guideline's like what race is good at doing what , it was generalized by the role you played and not the race that one decided upon being .
This can not be denied so when players speak such like the OP has , it should be understood and not condemned .
Those who have played since the beginning has plenty of screw up opportunities because they were having SP's thrown at them from the left and the right and also experienced several refunds of their own .
Now it seems that those who have played this game less than a year , can not afford to make mistakes because not only does CCP frown on that , but at the same time change the rules so that one can become emotional over the hard work that was done , seeing it all now go for not because their role can be changed with no compensation ( No what just happened during 1.8 was not responsible to those who played this game for less than a year , there should have been a full infantry refund ) and they have to deal with most in the community , who had the cushion of playing with massive amounts of SP's and prototype gear with SP's unallocated not having to be used , while newer players have to fight tooth and nail during role and item changes that effect they current way that they play because these things were not around when they started .
2.0 should have a full refund to be distributed by said player's as seen fit . If the vet's will just re-skill then so be it but the newer players need something to show that they are being appreciated and to give them the chance that most of the vet's have had .
Stop asking for tiercide , your killing variety and the fun of this game at the same dam time .
