Many of us vets didn't have to contend with people who had 40, 50, and 60 million SP and millions and billions of ISK stashed away.
The NPE is attrocious, and I think that fixing skill points in this way prevents vets from AFKing, and gives noobs some legs to stand on.
As a vet, you should be happy CCP is trying to make this game better. That they are trying to retain new people and bring in vets who have left because the game was so imperfect.
CCP has given vets who have stuck around through all the problems hope that our time and efforts in game were not in vain.
Being upset because improvements are being made and that new players won't have to go through the same was inevitable if any progress whatsoever was made, and is the result of our continued efforts.
Being indignant about that eventuality, in my opinion, is petty and small minded.

part for Veterans, since CCP has shown time after time, patch after patch, fix after fix, that they have little to no real concept of what goes for "normal gameplay" outside of the test server. You want to cap SP after a certain WP level for the guys who spent the time to learn AND the time to be able to build the fits to succeed? That is some garbage right there. But a "New" player accrues hand over fist? I'm calling BS on this part of this idea, right now. Ahhh. I took this to mean we'd mechanically safeguard against boosting. Though I do remember Djinn Marauder triggering a "booster guard" through legitimate play sometime back. Then again, that was the old dev team :-)
I agree, I think it is preemptive to say that this will be a hindrance to vets until we see where the cap is.
Some people boost, and there are even more pub stompers out there. I don't see why we should jump to drastic conclusions before we know what the upper limit is. I think that both boosters and pub stompers are something that I would encourage to have drastically reduced if done in a reasonable manner.
