Respecs or something like a respec is needed because it helps keep people from getting incredibly bored running the exact same thing every single game. No other modern FPS forces you to wait months on end to be reasonable in any given role. You can switch out, mix and match, and just go (in general).
In DUST, you're forced to wade through the same 5 matches for months to get anything "good", and you are rewarded with a little stat boost and the exact same gameplay you've been playing for months on end.

Letting people swap out their hard earned SP from time to time only hurts ego's.
Respecs aren't the answer to this. If the respec crowd is given into now, then what are they going to do in 6 months, or a year, or 2 years when the next wave of noobs realized they did it wrong?
I can't argue that the game gets boring and monotonous. It does. And when it does, I choose to play something else, or even go outside. Respecs don't fix lack of content or purpose.
On a side note, stop speccing into what everyone else is using cus it's so uber. Spec into what you think is cool and fun to use. The challenge in this game is winning with what's not popular. It was a challenge to use the MD in an armor tanked suit during the **** days of Uprising 1.1. Now, it's kind of lame. So I'm training for scrambler pistols and rifles. You better believe that I didn't scrap my current character and start over though. That's just stupid.  |

I hardly call Dropship specialist and AR fatty "uber"
I only even went AR because the HMG was / is in such horrendous shape.
Yet another instance of CCP making my decisions for me through sad sad balance.
I know this is the current FPS attitude, but it will change, at least in those around this game. I'd be willing to bet you went AR on your fatty cuz currently, it's just better then the HMG at what you want to do, not necessarily at what the HMG excels at. I'm not an HMG user, but I die to enough of 'em that I know they are working in the CQC role. Watching an HMG heavy roll around the corner nearly always results in me respawning, unless he's already been severely damaged.
No comment on dropships. Since I've been around, they've never been good.

Should I just shrug and start skilling into something else?
Should I just skill everything up in order? In 5 or 6 years I'll be nerf proof.
Yes. That is exactly what you should do, and that is what CCP is most likely expecting from you. They don't want you to jump ship to the next FoTM shooter like every other gamer, they want you to stick around for the long haul, for the 10 year anniversary.
If everyone stopped trying to be spec'd into whatever the current best build is, or the current best weapon is, no one would be asking for respecs.
When you get bored, or want to try another play style, or weapon, or race, work towards it. Don't demand it now.
It took me all of 3 weeks to spec into the Adv. Commando and 'Neo' Proto variant, and I don't even cap. (honestly, I can't stand playing the game that much, and I don't earn enough SP per game to even come close, I usually have at least 100K left to go) I was going to wait for the Gallente heavy to be released, but I couldn't. So I spent my SP into Amarr heavies. If they release the Gal heavy this week or next, you might see me here demanding my SP back. But if it's 1.5 or later, I'll be just fine with my choice.  |
