This is a blessing! We are finally being rewarded for our hard work by not being required to dedicate skill points which would better be used in a combat, medical, or crafting profession.

Well, it's a mixed blessing. I predict all sorts of political chaos, as everyone and their mom tries to be a mayor.

They should have reduced them, but not elminated it, I think.

Thank the maker!


But I do agree with Bhasayate. Everyone will want to start their own city now.Thankfully Ammon is already to Rank 4. There should be something along the lines of a "quest" to found a city.

Starting a city is not too much skillpoint, so 0 sp politician won't change this IMHO.

Actually I am happy about this - I have been a mayor for a long time now and really enjoy it - and not having to use all those skill points will allow me to go out and get experience in combat so I can be out on city hunts. Will add more fun to the game for me.

/agree


Be nice to have those sp back but now as mayors we are going have to be extremely careful of who we recruit now. With no skillpoints anyone can run for mayor which means it opens the flood gates to alot of possible griefing. If the Devs only implemented a safeguard from preventing city halls and civic structures from being destroyed as a form of griefing, then I would embrace this change. I worked hard in recruiting, raising funds, getting people involved and redecorating the city hall with rare items. If all of this can be destroyed on a whim of someone getting their kicks from griefing others, then this no longer becomes a game for enjoyment.

Additionally, how many people will willingly elect a novice politician over a master politician?


This also opens up the possibility of actually seeing campaigns instead of "don't forget to vote for the incumbant again this term."


I don't intend on becoming a politician even with this negation of skill points, since A) I like our current mayor's policies, B) novice vs master, and C) I have enough on my plate without having to worry about campaigning.

What do you deem "compaigning"? It's not like mayors have alot of power anyways. Any candidate can say "Vote for me and you'll have no taxes."



And as far as a novice vs a master. Guild X gets invited into a city to fatten the citizen count. Then Guild X puts a novice up who gets elected because the guild is stronger than the other citizens. Now you've just lost the city to someone else.



As long as skill points are required for politician, it'll keep possible griefers out.

This actually may mean a new mayor can "train up" without losing SP to no real purpose at the time ... just run in elections and get some people to vote for you, but don't outdo the incumbent. You're not tying up points a few months in advance to a possible change this way ... in fact, you could work up a "backup" in case the current mayor loses interest. Without the change, who would want to spend the SP just in case?

Thank the Goddesses and Gods! Having my politician skill points allocated back into a combat profession means I can have my ch skills again later on. Honestly I love ch and am happy can get some of those skills back now.
