I don't think respecs are going to break or destroy the game.
The purpose isn't for FOTM it's to allow people to fix errors they made when spending SP.
I have scramble lvl 5 and AR lvl 5 and even though the scramble is buffed I'd like that SP back because I just don't like the weapon. More importantly, things like armor buffs on modules or new drop suits aren't FOTM they are game changing additions and people should be given the ability to spec into them.
Spent SP in unwanted skills is both a waste and unnecessary. Everybody isn't looking for an exploit some folks just want to alter their play style, with the significant changes that have been occurring with the new builds.
It is perfectly fine for you not to agree with me TcuBe3 but you are wrong. Players will abuse any respec system to skill into FOTM, even if you won't most others will and the results will be awful. I'm not going to say game ending because I'm not into that kind of doom and gloom but it will really suck for almost everone.
Think about your skill points in SR this way. They are an investment in the future not a mistake. Sure, you don't love using the SR now. That happens. A couple of months down the road though when you realize that you're coming up against a lot of people running shield heavy suits though you'll think, "Hey I can wipe the floor with all these sheild tankers using my SR," and then will immediately put together a fit and start cleaning house.
There are no wasted skill points in this game, or their won't be once all the equipment and skills are implemented. Any points you have misplaced now (and trust me we have all misplaced a few skill points) will pay out in the future when you decided that you do indeed need that [insert item you mistakenly skilled for here].
As to your complaint that you would like to be able to skill into the new equipment as it comes out this really isn't an issue that requires a respec. Just start saving up a couple of weeks in advance of each release. You'll quickly find yourself with enough sp to invest in the new goodies CCP makes available to you and all without sacrificing the skills you already have.
There is no such thing as wasted sp, just skills you don't understand the value of yet.
