funny how people always compare dust to eve, those comments always amuse me and hightlight the lack of credibility
eve is a subscription based player driven mmo where all training is passive. you can in eve stop playing actively, do else for a month, only login once in a while to change skill training and then come back to enjoy something completely new. you can also just buy a new character for isk. just a month ago I sold my old character because I wanted something completely different and bought a new one for the same amount of ISK I got.
dust is still a lobby f2p shooter, you got to matchmaking, play and dont have to care about anything else, thats it. if you think it isnt than you are delusioned and stuck in a tunnelvision dreamworld. in dust you have to play to skill into something in a reasonable timeframe. also dust does not even have player market.
dust is not eve and completely different. there is no reason to not allow some sort of respecs either one time, aurum or any other system, esp. if you consider how some stuff got screwed and not fixed for months, or it was not released in the timeframe it was announced.
also, if you have to live with your choices, why were tank players allowed to invest their SP into suits after the patch. they should from the beginning be only able to reinvest those SP into tanks. either everyone has to live with their choices or no one. how often did CCP devs changed the premise on which you decided to invest SP into something? plenty of times, and those people did not get a reallocation with their points! CCP often made your decisions null and void, thus they didnt matter in the first place.
in short: it is about time to introduce a possibility for respecs.

Being able to respec like your last fit is going out of style with your pocket book and specialize where ever to put your skills next is a terrible idea for DUST.
Many games have done this even subscription based games where you can just respec you maxed out character and everything you worked for or put into your character was meaningless as your just a blank shell again..
My OCD goes off crazy when i open my skill sheet and see skill points that could of been better allocated... But that's the entire fun of building and developing your Mercenary. and one of the key factor's to Dust's player time investment.
So no against any respec's ever again in DUST. SP reimbursement for skill changes? sure. your point is null and void.
again, if you have to live with your choices, why were tank players allowed to reinvest their SP into suits after the patch. they should from the beginning be only able to reinvest those SP into tanks. either everyone has to live with their choices or no one. how often did CCP devs changed the premise on which you decided to invest SP into something? plenty of times, and those people did not get a reallocation with their points!

beside that, if you do not understand how respecs actually speed up balance process then you have anyway no crediblity |
