Hm. I made a really similar thread yesterday!
Basically, I agree. I think that $20 is a bit much (I posted up some really weaselly small amount of AUR, because I didn't want to engage in the "what's the exact right price" debate), and definitely want an ISK variant. Some folks mentioned a cooldown on the respec, which is a pretty good idea, I guess, if you have to limit it for some reason.
I think what you said is valid!
And yes, people would respec into the FotM, but that doesn't matter for the same reasons our OP stated--people like to try new things. Yes, even you, you jaded old EVE/DUST player. You want more, and this is a way to get it. Since playing on that one map can get old (wait, was there more than one?), we have to keep our characters fresh.
...side note: Someone somehwere mentioned monocles for their character. OMG, skins? Changes in gameplay? VARIETY!?
Take my money, CCP!

1. They Break The Skill System entirely. Why play for that new Weapon when I can Just respec into it, whenever I need it?
The Skill system is designed, as to elongate the Games Life-span. You play to get into that new gear, and then get farther into that gear, and eventually max out that Skill set, over a long period of time. If you can just respect into whatever the hell you want in a moments notice, not only does it make the issue of FOTM, extremely exaggerated, as then everybody would just respect into the FOTM OPedness.
tl;dr, Respecs break the Skill system, and therefore break one of the few remaining selling points of DUST, which therefore, basically Breaks DUST, and its compatriot Game.
Cooldowns. That seems to address your concern. |

CCP should give us respec package deals, $5 a respec or 5 for $20.
I guarantee that they would make $, maybe even enough to hire a new DEV team to fix the broke boring game.[/quote]
Still want an ISK equivalent, I don't think you can reasonably call the game free if you charge for a simple service like that. Keep as an option, sure, but still...ISK. |
