You don't even understand how Dust progression is fundamentally different to EVE's much better system.
If you get your wish and it appears many legion fans support you, then you are dooming Dust to the same imbalanced graveyard that killed Dust. You think Dust is "asymmetrical" but it isn't, it's just unbalanced.
Go look at EVE's SP system and how it relates to ships and equipment. If you can come back here and explain how they are different to Dust then you will rewrite your own post without me having to tell you why.
Yes, EVE and Dust's skill trees are significantly different, for one, Nothing in dust has multiple pre-requisites.
If anything, this is a sign that we should move even FURTHER away from the proposed Legion's skill tree, into something closer to EVE's, that's more inter-woven.

Overall I like the post however a quick counterpoint to this is the fact that if I take a wolf out for a spin and come across a rifter, skills of the pilots being equal, the wolf will win./quote]
While yes, a wolf will almost always beat a rifter, all other things being equal, the wolf has other disadvantages over the rifter, that don't deal with price. IIRC, the rifter is faster and more agile, as well as has a significantly better cap recharge time.
I'm worried about the dumbing down of the skill-tree.
Here's a scene in my head.
Sir A: Hey, sirB, that's a cool weapon, how can I get to use one?
Sir B: Well, this is an assault rail rifle, just look under weapons, then light weapons, then rank rail rifle to four.
Sir A: Thank you for your help.
Compare with
Sir A: Hey, sirB, that's a cool weapon, how can I get to use one?
Sir B: Well, this is a type 93-variant advanced assault rail carbine rifle meant for scout suits. You'll want to unlock the light suits, then go all the way right on the tree, then go ahead and unlock the entire main portion of the scout suit tree, once that's done, go into caldari scouts, look for the weapon tree on the bottom, then go ahead and go to the lower left part of that branch and you'll see the weapon section. It'll be the third after the "Caldari Scout Advanced Rail Weaponary skill"
Sir A: .... screw that. I guess I wasted ALL of my current SP since I spent it all in assault suits, and it won't help me one bit getting that cool weapon.
Also, I'm worried about CCP Z's flagrant disregard for the creation and destruction cycle of New Eden. It should be a legitimate gameplay worry for "Well, we could throw more money at this fight and maybe win it, but will it be worth the cost?" |
