well, I think it's been addressed, but here it goes:

respecs broaden the gap between the new and the old players. respecs make subtle balance issues glaringly obvious. when that happens the dev team wastes 3 months rebalancing it, often at the expense of new content and 'quality of life' updates. respecs begat more cries for respecs. they also take away the 'history' of your character. if you know a guy, then you know what he's got skilled, and you're surprised when he kills you with a new weapon. if you can buy a respec, or earn a respec, or receive one in any way, then your character has no history. you might as well be able to change your name.

it's unsatisfying, and turns the game into a 'title' not a 'service'.

when you're playing with a new guy in eve, he tells you that he just saw a ship. the first question you ask is 'what was his name?'. because a characters name matters in eve. he will always be that character, with those skills. he will always fly the ships that he's known to fly, and in the manner that he's known to fly.

lastly, respecs create issues with alts. a guy gets a respec, and all his 15mil sp alts are sitting with unspent sp waiting for the flavor of the month to show itself.

Also yes, currently respecs have to be done manually and the guys that could possibly code it are busier and more focused on making battles matter, contextualizing FW, bringing the player market to life, and making corporate managers jobs easier and of course the eve-dust link.

1. It teaches KIDS there are no consequences for their mistakes.
2. It would give me my win button back.........bad 4 u
3. Once everyone got a respec, they would beg for another every time new items come out.
4. A respec will allow MORE people to be OP. Specing into OP weapons/suits..........also bad for u
5. A repec now would mean nothing else to look forward to! You will just use all the SP to get what you want now. Nothing left to work towards. Fighter jets ooooooo ahhhhhhhhh lol Respec

All in all, I am VERY happy with my choices..........except a few. Wasted SP on LAv's, all dropships unlocked. I have 24mill sp. I have everything I need.

I would use my respec to go proto heavy and scout. Bored of the ar, the shotgun and hmg are so much more fun.

I can go for a 6 month cycle for repecs or a penalty. Not sure on what to use for the penalty howver.

No respecs,the only thing respsecs are going to save currently are the players with buyers remorse for specing into past FoTM too deeply in the past.

im sorry to see you speced into it too deeply befroe you realized it wasn't worth it,here have a repsec and spec into something else,oh whats that you spec into another skill sink,have another... maybe you should learn some SP investment and management skills and get them to lvl 5.

But you did choose to start playing the game with all the "faults" you mention, and you are probably continuing to play the game and QQ here so... I think the fault is on your shoulders, son.

I'm happy with my choices, the good and the bad, I don't need a respec nor will one "save the game".

This is a F2P game, CCP added aurum items in the hope to make cash, which could be seen as a gamble.

As an EvE subscriber with 4 accounts, I assume their cash flow is pretty cool.

It's not eve, but it's in the eve universe.

At proto level, a scout should NEVER be detected. Period. Its their thing! even their bonus.

But you are right


Another option is increasing their bonus gain:

-10% reduction to profile per level.

I would LOVE to spend ALL my 16 mil in Commando. See if i can do something with that suit.

Probably would run 1 cx shield Ext , 1 Cs Light damage mod , 1 Kin Kat, Rep Nanos and (Swarms + Gek) or (ARSC + /Mass)

I would suck so bad, but im sure it would be fun....

@pew jackson, a scout at proto level with 1 ADV profile dampner ,should be able to evade ALL scanners.
ALL .... SCANNERS....

XD
