CCP appears to be looking to options to use players as recruiters via skill transfers to bring new players into EVE. Subscription numbers are they lowest they've been since 2008. Get people into the big sandbox faster.
I have been reading the first page and saw how almost everyone who posted there is taking a dump on the idea. Even the CSM seems to be against it. But then again, there were about 2-3 CSM members vocally against the idea on the first page of that thread. Not sure how the rest of the CSM feels.
Also, those people seem to be missing the point here. They seem to act as if suddenly CCP is going to sell SP for AUR. But when you look at the details closely, it's just SP moving from one character to another with diminished returns on older characters.
I brought this up with Jadek earlier on Twitter when I noticed how similar it is to his idea. In fact, I think this idea dates back even further to when CCP CmdrWang was still working at the CCP Shanghai office when the idea of "skillback boosters" was brought up by someone.
In the context of Eve Online, I don't see a problem with this. But in the context of Dust this can present a problem because, unlike Eve Online, Dust is free-to-play and you can create however many accounts your PS3 would allow for free and use that for alt farming on a massive scale. Eve Online has a subscription requirement and obviously trial accounts will be very limited in what they can do regarding this.

I'm sure it would be similar to trading now. If players want to drop $25 per farm, then let them.
I'm at 140 mil SP and I'm probably 10 mil away from literally having every single thing that I want in Dust maxed out. And I don't use 90% of the stuff I can.
I've spent a lot of time and money on Dust to get to that point, but I wouldn't care if it was minimized by a system like this. Just as I supported the raised cap and respecs. The thing I've noticed about Eve players as well as many Dust players with a knowledge of Eve, they'd rather see their game die than tweak the skill point system.
Strange, isn't it?
PS: I remember I was against respecs earlier starting a couple of years back. But after seeing how everything is now, I'm putting my nova knives where my mouth it.
PPS: I'm starting to realize I should have worded that last statement better.
