If you don't like the choice you made about where to allocate your SP, or part of your SP, then you have to live with your choices for the rest of your life like the rest of us.
It is extremely rare for CCP to allow reallocation of ANY amount of SP (even rarer if dealing with ALL of the SP). This is because there has to be certain circumstances that are so ground breaking and impacting towards every player that they have no choice but to do it.
Case in point:
The removal of the 'Learning Skill Books' in Eve Online a few years ago. CCP removed them because the skills forced trial users to waste a good chunk of their trial time learning skills that really don't even allow you to fly anything better than a newbie ship and maybe a stock frigate. By the time they finished training the 'Learning' skills their trial time was already over and they gained no experience. Once CCP decided to remove them, they reimbursed the users of the SP they gained from learning those skill books which amounted to around 2-3million SP on average per player. That is a relatively small amount compared to the overall SP amount that Eve players usually have (about 50million to 150milion on average per player) which didn't impact player interaction too much.
Another case in point:
The current rebalancing of the skill books covering destroyers, cruisers, battlecruisers and battleships. If you read the dev blogs covering this, you will see that in some cases players will gain SP if they train up certain skill books to level 5 or might get reimbursed a certain amount depending on what and how much they invested in while for some players they may not see anything happen at all other than changes to the prerequisites depending on what they invested in. Dust may see something like this several years down the road.
If you are talking about reallocating SP because of a fix to Missile Turrets as an example, then it will depend on what that fix was. Is the fix a 'change' in the prerequisites? If so then you may see some SP reimbursement.
But if we ever talk about reallocating SP just because you or I don't like the skill books we invested in, well... too bad. Live with those choices. |
