I assume that is what he meant - that previously he used his level-up points toward research, but that option has now been removed. I also did the same thing, partly because research was a major pain to do any other way, and partly because there isn't anything to spend those level-up points on. Tradeskills? Its fairly cheap/easy to level up to 20 in any tradeskill. Languages? Only need one point in it to have it, then you can teach someone else who also needs the same language, so dont need to use points there either.
But, I can also see that research shouldn't be such a good place to put all of those skillup points.
What if SOE did something different instead? Why not jsut change the price of research skillups in either platinum cost, or level-up points used? For example, after you reach 100 skill in research, it might cost you 2 level-up points per skillup in research. Its a lot better than the current system of "none", and it also means that you need to research at least half of your skillups using components (assuming you get 5 points each time you level and you don't use the level-up points for anything but research).
