Because CCP isn't.

You just don't want a full reset.

Because unlike me that am replying to this, they have better things to do rather than give attention to hysterical self entitled little whinners.

I-¦m loving the tears.

jenza just told me in irc chat that she doesn't want everyone running around in proto suits. So I may be going out on a limb here but I think she supports higher sp sinks. Also if you dont agree with her she doesn't feel the need to actually talk to you either

Caz in irc a few days back said it looks like just an sp sink to him in regards to proto suits just being that same yet paying 3.4 mill sp for just bonuses. He wants more time to look thru everything and will get back to us.

IWS tired to argue that its techically tech 2 suits so they are new content. Also he said we asked for role and racial bonuses so he implied is our fault for the addition sp sink.

Kain is trying to get real suit stats and sp stats to compare before he is willing to call it an unneeded sp sink. though I dont think he was happy with the shear amount of sp now required or how ccp gave the preception that sp for skills would be about the same

Have not heard from nova or hans yet

Fine then as the designated forum warrior of the CPM.

1 CPM believes in fair trade, you still have or get the option to rehave those items without screwing everyone else over. Regardless of what happened you still have one golden box per purchase, Not magically having infinum number for the price of one as the terms only dictate you have one at any given time regardless of what happens. The terms does not allow for 2 for the price of 1. In order to get a new one all the old items have to be removed first before being re-issued. if you still feel that you have been undervalued you can easily take the issue to CCP and maybe they will explain everything for you. After all its a messaging error and you know how messages get lagged and delayed, hell GameSpot is still selling under the old terms and refuses to update it seems.

2. We're still analyzing the blog, we feel the suit progression is a bit broken but we're still discussing on how its all going to fall into place vs the old system as per other thread I started https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=72238&find=unread you get your first proto suit 600k points far earlier than current. As for the rest of the tree i just pulled all of chomosome's skills into a sheet and doing some 'comparisons.' However form the looks of it, after the initial hurdle of the pre-requistits most of the subsequent skills are easier to access.

3. Chances are that when posts like these pop up they're not for the best of the community at all. Involving the CPM directly has always produce the most negative results because you guys would try to box us into a corner or force us to say things that are simply hurtful to everyone on the entire spectrum. The better advice is to read, watch and listen and relay concerns.

4. We're busy with other topics I cannot discuss yet or probably never. All this stuff here you're all complaining about was last weeks' issues most of the predictions came true-ish.

5. Chances are you'd wind up with a CPM that would not be that helpful to anyone but themselves or think they need to tackle every single possible balance design issue when there are far more things that need discussion. I only been at this officially for a week and its already quite a bit of work right now especially with you guys complaining about stuff.

Stopped reading after this...

The CPM, much like the CSM, have little to no power over CCP in most decision-making. Going by this flawed premise alone, I'd have to assume that all of your points are moot, because anything that you might have said would require for a PR/advisory group of people to actually have power that they don't legally have.

No, you can get the SAME protosuit for less SP. You only have to pay more SP if you want to get the Tech 2 protosuit.

That's not a sink, that's just common sense.

Is there a SP sink in a few core skills? Yes. Those should be looked at and hopefully adjusted, but otherwise- not a SP sink.

2. Stop putting words into my mouth, I am currently researching the changes and if you cannot understand that then I cannot find your complaints or concerns worth making valuable. The base suits for the most part are competitive against your current suits today, and the base suits are more than capable of kicking the crap out of the specialists of same meta. For example the gallente logi basic only has 2 low slow (0 highs, no sidearm) compared to medium frame having 3-4 slots on basic with a side arm. Additionally nobody is forcing you into those newer suits, they're much more end game content, its like HAV pilots mostly deciding they rather stick to using the regular HAVs instead of the muraders (and soon enforcers which overall looks like a shoddy class)

100% of assaults and medium frames have 1 equipment slot, this was done intentionally to help legitimize the existence of the logi-line up.

Unfortunately no, the new blog here http://dust514.com/news/blog/2013/05/uprising-skill-point-re-spec-details/ has the data dump which unfortunately doesn't have the slot layouts. The recordings by choice skipped the base suits If you read my link again I listed all the new proto base suits from the data dump I pulled out of it and the aside from missing slot layouts they're comparable to the other proto-suits. The only thing that truely gives the advanced suits thier bonuses if only the suit in question takes advantage of it. Its entirely possible to ignore the bonsues on the protosuits such as not having side arms when the suit has a side arm bonus. Or not using the laser rifles on amarrian suits which have bonuses for it.

CPM is not your mom or your boyfriend

Reading Comprehension Skill = 0

I just told you... PR/advisory. It allows CCP to pat themselves in the back whenever their "Player Councils" do something for the community.

Well maybe my suggestion of removing equipment slots on assaults would go though then :(
