Talk:Skillbook Program Seeded Price

Why do we keep it?

Quick explanation for future generations:

1. This page is bad practice - keeping game data on Wiki, with forever obligation to update it, and potentially having incorrect data
2. There is no process to update it, no one is designated to do it, and we hope that CCP won't change prices frequently

but

3. In order to process request, we need to check the price. Normally checking in game should be used, but it's not always possible - some skillbooks are 'regional' - for example not all Gallente skillbooks will be found in Caldari region (understandable) and accordingly not all Caldari skillbooks are in Gallente region (unimaginable offense)
4. We also need to check direct inject price - which is not visible if you have that skill. For new-player-skills it's especially hard, since we all get them quickly
5. Page is good guide to new players who don't get the distinction of "NPC sell" and "Player sell" - it has clear labels (well, colors) which explain it. Especially for Large weapons, which can be remibursed at NPC price, but not Direct/Inject

Hope that clears the situation, and potentially makes me reposnible for all future updates.

Best,

Chris
