I know this is a ? that only Bort can answer (and it'd be damn nice if he did), but agents with older players really need to know. We've be used as lab rats enough and shouldn't have to screw our players even more by having to figure this one out.
Here's the rub. We all have a shit ton invested in the old EQ. I read talk about the possibility of getting a 100% cash payback on it, and that would be sort of nice I guess, but the $ is the least of it. By far the biggie is the 16-20 skill points it's worth.
Unless I'm missing something big, the choice is to scrap that and start over or keep pouring $ into it as the players hit 32 & 40. The question that we can't answer (and only Bort currently can) is if bending over and getting hosed out of the EQ points we already have is the right or wrong way. Since many of us are about to hit lvl 24 or 32, that really needs to be answered.
Side note, I'm FAR from thrilled that so much was put into this new training system, at the cost of ignoring HUGE flaws (leagues overflowing with gutted teams, the O AI being woefully lacking, no forum search option, pitful documentation (having to ask this ? is a perfect example...May have been answered somewhere or not, short of searching every thread, no way of knowing) and so on. Still, I think it could be decent (once more training combos are added), but it massively hoses older players. We shouldn't have to start over with the new EQ. We have already paid the dues and should be able to trade our existing EQ for new EQ that has the same # of skill point boosts as our current sets have. We earned it by building this game and our players and shouldn't be this drastically nerfed for having already invested so heavily in this game. Unless I'm missing something (and, if so, sorry for the rant), we're really getting kicked in the nuts for being here since the start.
Alright, time for the brown noses and new players to bash away now...I can live with that, so long as Bort gives a decent answer to whether the smart move is to scrap and start over or stick with the old (because the new isn't much better)
