The old reset system wasn't exactly fair on those of us who have too much invested in our character to be able to reset. I can't trade my research to another character, nor can I trade standings to another character. Anyone in this situation had no choice but to avoid the character reset system.

The new system has changed the game, now people like me, who went full industry, even spending ridiculous amounts of EP on level 10 industry skills such as +1 factory slot are in a bad place. Cross training is now viable, except we've already wasted masses of EP on level 10 skills that could be much better spent elsewhere (thanks to attribute removal).

Are people like me just going to have to accept with being screwed due to how the old the character reset system worked and partly the new one?

A good idea would be to remove the extension downgrade level limit for a 30 day duruation, thus giving people like me the chance to remove those unwanted high level extensions that everyone else got.

You knew from the moment you ate your first kernel that a reset wipes your knowledge base...... So a reset has never been an option for you. Your choice when you decided you wanted to be a prototyper.....

You also chose to max your indy skills for a reason. Whether that was to mass produce for a corp, make a huge personal stockpile or try and dominate the market with your wares you still made that choice. Now you want to be able to change everything but your knowledge base...... Nothing but a big QQ because you want to do something with your toon right NOW other then what you created him for. 

The only person that screwed you was YOU. Choices have consequences. Suck it up buttercup.

Suck it up buttercup.

Actually no I didn't know that from the moment I ate my first kernal. The moment I ate my first kernal was quite a few months before the 'unfair on some' reset system was even introduced.

Kernels you ate in open or closed Beta do not count in this argumentation. The Account reset system came online 4 weeks after official launch.

i like the new system as it is. It makes sure that the people who super specialized and reaped the benefits cant just now re-do everything. I mean you knew what you were getting when you maxed out this skills in the first place so why should people hace sympathy for you and let you change everything?

What about all other people who trained level 10 skills and were still able to reset their characters? Oh you missed that didn't you. Some of us can't reset our characters because we've got too much research, and possibly too high standings grinded.

You COULD have reset your characters. BUT you want all the benefits you reaped when you were highly industrial with the ability to now completely change your character without losing ANYTHING. This is unfair to everyone who had some for thought and spread there EP out to be able to do more then one thing.

As they say you want the milk but do not want to buy the cow

I COULD have reset my character, and thrown away a year worth of research progress. Except only a fool would do that, so I had no choice, i've never had the option to reset this character.

Hmmmmmm..... There was never a restriction that said if you have researched kernels you can't reset.. Matter of fact, it was YOUR choice to keep your knowledge base, standings and the extensions you had. Nobody forced you not to reset......

Most corner stores have the cheese that compliments your whine.... Go get some buttercup!

These changes are for the people who dabbled in things and found it they were not for them. NOT for the people who went balls to the wall so they could research everything and now that they are good as golden in that sector of the game want to become awesome combat character etc.

So somehow getting those 2 or 3 extra factories (30+ total) and that extra 1% factory efficiency, allowed me to progress to some kind of golden place? No, huge effort on my part did that, the thousands of EP I wasted on getting most of the manufacturing skills to level 10 has made no difference atall.

If you think that level 10 industry skills are the reason why people like me have done so well, then you're friggin ***.

lol ok then why the hell did you spend the enormous amount of EP to get these things? you must have done that for a reason......if it wasn't to improve your industrial skills then who is the ***????

Hmm let's see, probably because i took long periods where I didn't play perpetuum for a few months, and built up a lot of EP during this time, when I came back I thought 'well, what am I going to do with 60k ep on an industry character, well, anything than industry would be a waste of points, I may aswell just burn it on the last few level 10 industry skills' was going under the assumption that even if it's not worth it now, it might be later if they add more advanced industry skills and i'd have been an idiot to waste EP on combat skills when my combat attributes were like 5.
