Since CCP hates snipers so much, that they go with a map design principle to exclude them, just give snipers a respec so that they don't have wasted SP, and delete the sniper tree.
In the very least, I'm sure people that hate snipers can agree with that much. |

No to the idea that it will help the player base, and no to your constant need for validation from the 3 people who agree with you.
All providing a respec will do is necessitate every player constantly rearranging their skills so that they are specced into the FOTM. The consequence of this would be a staggering decrease in weapon and equipment diversity, a phenomena we are already seeing with the ever increasing prevalence of assualt rifles, but one which would be so much worse with constant respecs. Imagine if you will every awful gamebreakingly OP thing that has happened recently. Now add to that the fact that with respecs every player would switch to that setup/weapon. What you get isn't a game at all. There would be no diversity and no fun. Just endless hordes of people using exactly the same gear in every fight.
If you are a new player you might think that this would give you a way to compete with the vets, but you are totally wrong. A player with 9 mil. sp will still only have 9 mil. sp specced into a build when the respec into a given FOTM. A vet with 22+ mil. sp will be much more capable with that build and, chances are, see the trend toward that build sooner meaning they will respec into it first. Vets have so much more invested in this game that any respec option only gives them a deeper advantage over new players.
Just drop your awful respec idea. Let it die and blow away like dust in the wind. Respecs would do nothing to make you a better player or the game more enjoyable. They would just ruin it for everyone.
Warning: Deliberate personal insult coming your way.
You are a fvcking prick in every sense of the word. Can't you see past your own fvcking nose?? The assault rifle is prevalent for a number of different weapons, and if everything else is constantly getting nerfed (or in the case of snipers, BALANCED AGAINST), why should people HAVE to deal with?!!
"Be very careful where you put your SP! Wait you were careful, weren't you? How dare you be careful! Suffer for being careful with your SP! No! You cannot respec! You must suffer because we want an alpha class, with a peasant diversity of niche roles."
The concept of no respecs mean your are penalizing responsible AND irresponsible players alike for their decisions on gear and equipment. The idea that people should just deal with these penalties for the sake of equipment diversity is absolutely ludicrous! Who does that idea possibly serve besides players that are NOT hurt by a particular nerf? Who the fvck benefits? A vet fully spec'd out in ARs isn't any better than a newer player fully spec'd in ARs. A respec isn't going to magically make either of them any better at ARs if they were fully spec'd to begin with!
People want to optimize their SP allocation, whenever a bad or good change occurs. Deal with it. In fact, I hope CCP makes another stupid decision relating to people's gear and equipment, simply so this never-dying idea just keeps bashing them harder and harder in the face!
It's not going away because it's important.
I hope a bunch of people made it clear that they want a respec in the surveys sent out as well! |
