Resetting Skill Lines Mini-Event

[IndianKid]

Is there ever going to be an event where you could reset your skill lines for free? That would be very helpful after so many years that the skill line were implemented.

Free Skills Reset Event ! (https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/33994-Free-skills-reset-event-!)
Full free book refund with the 50-75 cap? (https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/31359-Full-free-book-refund-with-the-50-75-cap)

And the official answer from BB_Alex:
"Move events will only be used in combination with critical changes to the map or blocking in the future. Re-arranging your buildings and optimizing your economy is part of the The Settlers Online as an economy building game. The past move events had a negative impact on the usage of the move mechanic outside of those events and we decided to not trigger any additional move events, only if it is really needed because of a critical change or update."

He is talking about moving buildings not skill lines

If you read the official answer from BB_Alex though, it is clearly about moving buildings. :)

Ah, sorry. My bad!

The point still stands, however, that this question has been asked several times before to no avail. I would suspect that the reasons for this would be very much in line with the reasons laid out by BB_Alex as to why they want to avoid more free move events. If they were to implement a free reskill then naturally, in future, many players would hold off using the current mechanisms in favour of waiting for the next 'free' opportunity, much as they used to with free move events. Before the 'Ask Me Anything' answer was posted, I used to regularly see someone making reference to how their island was a mess and wondering when the next free move was going to be so they could sort it out.

I sincerely doubt BB would want to create a similar type of circumstance with skill resets.

How about a 50% off gem reset cost event then? You know, meet in the middle. ;)
