Due to constant game balance correction and the introduction of new objects I suggest your introducing a new option of respec SP for AURUM:

Once a year the respec is free (CCP meets the gamersGÇÖ interests due to constant game balance correction)
Once in X months the respec is fee-based (CCP earns)
Once in 10 million SP (CCP motivates the gamers to remain in the game and maintains their interest).

Advantages for gamers:
- Opportunity to find their own game style within the limit of gained SP
- Opportunity to elicit the potential of new objects, which are being introduces in the game
- Opportunity to avoid the loss of the distributed SP if the characteristics are pulled down due to balance correction.

Advantages for CCP:
- This option will raise the interest in the game and return the fighters who have left the project
- This option will earn the UNDERLYING profit from the existing offers for AURUM.

I am against a complete 'respec' partial respec or the ability to untrain things would be more preferable.

I draw the line there because I still want to force players to plan their soldier's growth more carefully.

EVE Online has access to reassigning their attributes which alters how fast they train up their skills which is pure passive but multiple disciplines in many different fields so some stats are combat oriented while others are leadership and more are more of industry or science. So a pirate that decides to retire from a life a crime and make a more honest living can shift the focus in mental training and pursue the new career faster.

Dust 514 has no such system nor no need for it since we only have one major discipline, the art of war. It's also another layer of confusion FPS players don't need.

However I do recognize that players still make not only mistakes but may need to shift strategies to the ever adapting battlefield. An untrainer booster would be a means of doing that by untraining an unused skill they can sling shot towards the next discipline far quicker than without that booster. Pricing of the booster should be the cheapest of the three and only counts down when its untraining an unburden level.

A full respec of a soldier is considered DEEP into Pay To Win territory under the category Favors the Rich and with the time limit idea even I seeing how fast things are turning around and how long things stay FOTM, so at the rate a free one is given out and purchasable ones as well makes it nearly no consequence to train the wrong things or FOTM.

Also it makes it cheaper to give away free Untrainer boosters.

When the racial line of an item is filled out then they should refund the SP from that particular skill tree. When all the heavies are out refund all heavy suit SP and the same for scouts and vehicles. Before and after that there should be no refunds.

Screw CCP and screw this game. No new content, same boring maps, and lack of a matchmaking system. I'm just ganna wait till gta 5 comes out, then a lot of dust players will leave and it will be because of CCPs lack of listening to what players want and being flat out lazy. Its not that damn hard to fix the majority of these issues. If CCP wants to cater to eve players then fine you can lose the majority of your player base (console players). A simple respec would fix a lot of the complaining but they wont do it because its good business to sell boosters so we can skill into new gear due to all the bitching and moaning of OP weapons. So to the OP I wouldn't get your hopes up on any respec. Its just not good business for CCP. No money to be made in it for them

SP respec - very necessary function

Dust 514 not Eve-online.

Eve is fully other game, there you paid for half a year and go sleep or drinking bear, In dust you spend you time, Eve is more than 10 years, DUST ?

You and others cant compare these 2 games.
