Thankfully the sentiment seems to be shifting toward the community supporting respecs. Who knows if CCP will listen though.
I'm almost at the point where I don't enjoy the role I'm playing at all anymore. Any person that wants this game to succeed can't honestly think me (and many others) stepping away from the game while my passive SP accrues is a good thing.
There are a lot of people that are where I'm at right now or have been at some point. Some are just flat bored with the game, but either way why would you keep a mentality that arguably punishes customers.
While my issue isn't related to a mistake made out of ignorance or being unhappy with a nerf I still have a difficult time understanding the mentality of either enjoying their unhappiness or stubbornly wanting them to suck it up and grinding for weeks/months to rectify their issue.
Just doesn't seem like the right direction for a game undergoing so many changes, not being able to retain new players, and losing veteran players.
I know where the mentality comes from and I firmly believe that it'll take a drastic shift from Eve minded developers and CPM members that have extensive Eve backgrounds. This will never happen though. I've posted in a lot of these threads so I'm sure at this point many people are rolling their eyes. I just don't think they have the luxury of forcing their mindset on a market of gamers that is unaccustomed and/or uninterested in grinding for weeks/months to fix a problem with their character. Especially considering there is nothing to prepare new players for what they are getting into. The issue of expecting players to use a crystal ball to look into the future to determine future nerfs is another mindset that fascinates me.
The only remotely reasonable counter to respecs is the FOTM argument, but isn't that more of an issue to take up with the folks that make such horribly unbalanced weapons/vehicles/roles possible? |

If there were a respec next week does anybody believe that everyone will spec into gallente suits and MDs? Or would they spec into LLAVs?
I don't see anything right now that could be considered a FOTM. The MD is the closest thing ATM.
Especially with all these new suits and weapon variants coming SOON.
I'd honestly consider not going proto in anything. Just spreading it out to the advanced level in order to play different roles in a given match. Especially considering the competitive aspect of this game is largely dead. I won't do that, but I don't have any idea what I'd do if all my SP was reallocated. I thought I did, but the possible nerf to shields has me scared to continue skilling from ADV to PRO in Min Assault.
I don't see anything that screams OP outside of the gallente or min logi with the stats being thrown around by CCP in regards to armor buffs.

Why not charge for it, then? 4 million ISK or 100 AUR for a reset, wiping the slate clean.
I hit those numbers because it seems like 100 AUR is enough to make sure folks pay attention (and CCP gets a little cash), and the 4 million because it's a few game's worth (and enough to make sure you pay attention). You can probably make arguments for up or down, I just want it to be a compelling arguement.
Game flexibility generates revenue--that's been found again and again in other games. I don't know why this would be different.
Whatcha think? your post just makes this topic 1 of HUNDREDS!..... and no.....
Care to give your reasoning behind no respecs? Also have you specialized in hopes of playing at a competitive level or do you have SP all over the place? |
