.... the ISK spent on purchasing the skillbooks. This will kill or at least maim a number of problematic birds with one very large stone.

Pros

- Newbs spend their SP unwisely at the start, give them a chance to play the game and fix their errors.
- This is a BETA, we are your testers, but the equipment we can test for you is limited to what we can use in battle. This would greatly expand our ability to test stuff and give feedback.
- This is BETA and you have said this is likely to happen at some point anyway.
- This is BETA and a great many game features are missing, this gives those getting bored of lobby play a reason to stick. "Well well well, I can be a heavy for a week???" etc
- We don't have a market to trade and sell. HOWEVER we do have piles and piles of loot we cannot use. Allow us to respend our SP and voila! We can start tearing into our stockpiles of proto gear we've picked up despite lack of market.
- Give ALL players a better feel for the game as a whole as they would now be able to completely restyle their play every week.


Cons

- A handful of people whining that the game is a long term "spend your SP wisely like I did" types who forget it's a BETA and this is gonna happen anyway.

My suggestion, do it every Wednesday until full release. Toons who do not want the refund should be able to "decline refund" at character selection. <-- Edited
