Skill Points Avalanche!

With the normal trickle of skill points, and the current "event" of Skilling Spree and finally the Bonus Skill Point Week (BSPW) we are enjoying an uncommon about of usable skill points in Eve Online.

I've not read much negativity about the deluge of skill points this time, but that could be caused by a resigned point of view as it has become a "tilting at windmills" situation these days.

The Skilling Spree adds no enjoyment to Eve Online and just seems to be a way of pumping up login numbers, in return for a minimal amount of skill points.

Surprisingly, CCP have begun the BSPW at the same time, which, at least to me, seems a lost opportunity.  If CCP had introduced the BSPW after the Skilling Spree had ended, it would have extended the artificially boosted login numbers for at least another week.

Hard to see what they're doing with running these "events" concurrently.

It seems to me, at best, an unintentional clash between at least two working groups at CCP.

Works out well for the players, but it's a bit of a head scratcher.
