SP to Unallocated Pool if Training Stops

But I’ve got millions of unallocated SP, mainly from learning skills and then training up faxes on a couple of characters before they decided to not have that skill (I literally decided to train some shitty faxes just to get off-map skill points). All my points go in at max rate.

Are you just clapping at my prescience and nodding to Malcanis’ law here?

I think it’s unfair on the newer guys somewhat; however, I also (as an early 2005 character) sort of feel that they get it easy with a queue and no learning skills, so my mind isn’t fully made up.*

Overall, It feels to me that nothing is lost, and something is gained, by defaulting skills to minimum train amounts.

I don’t think you quite grasp Malcanis’ Law.

The removal of learning skills and the refunding of SP is one of the few things that violates the law. It helps new players in that they do not need to train a suite of boring ass skills, and the older players were made indifferent or better off by getting the SP refunded. The benefit to the older players was a one time thing whereas for all new players they all do not have to go through that pain of training a boring skill.

The newbie also get the benefit of not having to know about it like it was for the learning skills back then. How many clueless newbie lost out on SP because they didn’t know the optimal move was to train that first?

Solution in need of a problem. You can set months, or even years worth of skills in your queue. If you can’t be bothered to log in once a year to update your skill queue then sorry, that’s your failure. This isn’t like the old days when you’d have skills finish in the middle of the night and have to choose between setting an alarm to wake up and start the next skill or lose SP until you could log in at a more convenient time.
