New Tutorials? Missing Skill Point?

What's this problem I'm hearing about regarding new characters getting a free skillpoint over old characters, due to the new tutorials? What's so difficult about giving all "old" characters the free skillpoint they're owed? Shouldn't be difficult.

    The issue being complained about is that when the game first came out the original tutorial zone was also a main story quest which awarded a skill point upon completion. As new tutorials were released they too included a skill point but characters running the newer tutorials also get to go to a modified version of the original tutorial zone as part of the main story quest and receive a skill point.

    In a nutshell:
    Pre-Morrowind characters got 1 skill point from combined main story quest and tutorial
    Post-Morrowind characters get 2 skill points from separated main story quest and tutorial

    It isn't game breaking or anything like that. Some people just feel that all characters should have the opportunity to get the exact same amount.

    Makes sense. It's 100% clear that Zenimax screwed this up and needs to fix pre-Morrowind chars by giving them the free skill point.

    Agreed.

    But will Zenimax ever comment?

    Sigh.
    Rollin' round Tamriel on that skooma wasted like a failed Grand Theft Auto mission.

    Has this issue still not been resolved? Why can't ZOS simply let all and any character complete all Tutorials? Locking old characters from acquiring skill points, even if it's just one makes no sense, especially when so many people have spent time into one character, and do not wish to make a new one.

    Also tutorials add to the story, why do they not allow any character old or new to complete them? Just add the choice for players to make the quest, it makes no sense that people have to create a new character to experience the tutorials from each chapter, and are only allowed to complete one. Let us decide if we want to play them or not.

    Also in a ESO Live from Morrowind they stated that you won't get another skill point from the tutorials however, this is not the case, since people DO GET the extra point if they make a character after purchasing any of the chapter. This should be fixed, and also it's quite astonishing that after so many posts about this, ZOS has yet to give a single official statement.

    ALL characters should be able to play through ALL tutorials, even if it's just for the story. And most importantly ALL characters should be given the opportunity to acquire ALL skill points, even if it's just one.
