do you understand how bad it would be for you if you give a bunch of beta characters sp resets?

Yet you're giving the tools for them to FOTM.....

There is no need for a respec as there is no limit to how much SP you can get. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from skilling into something else, so why get a respec? Because you're too lazy to actually work to get stuff?

Maybe try out those Omega Boosters...that's like a respec.

ARs and ARs.

The last respec was a pretty good while ago (June I believe) and I haven't seen enough new content since then to support your claim that a new respec would jeopardize new content.

And please do not claim the worthless AURUM packs of late as new content...... the weapons and suits were no better than what was already available

the last respec created the assault rifle abyss that we currently live in.

it created the tac-ar debacle.

it wasted 100 pages of forums with qq threads (and still counting)

it wasted development time trying to fix things that were only a little broken before the respec.

it slowed down the whole train. before that last respec we were slated to get racial ar's, racial pistols, racial knives, and more suits very soon. in it's stead we (as a community) threw such a hissy fit that ccp had to literally stop everything and rebalance the game.

Whilst I agree it might give the game some life for a few months, it's still only a short term answer to a long term problem. This game needs to be interesting enough to hold peoples attention for years on end, but it's current iteration cannot achieve that.

After 20m SP the FoTM weapons literally is non-existent you can spec into at least 4 proto weapons, 2 dropsuits, proto modules and maybe one vehicle. CCP is constantly changing what we use making our decisions made months ago to mean nothing, it might bother veterans but it mainly hurts new players.

Let's say you are new, hence you know nothing of what works and what not and you spec into "X" thing and suddenly one day everything changes and it has no value for you anymore so know you have 1m spent into some crap, go tell those new player " LOL HTFU... CCP just made your loadout utterly useless hahahaha you must farm more SP to be barely useful again" ...mthat player is just going to quit and never look back.

Shrugs shoulders.

I still have about quarter million in dropships and still use them. I regret none of my expenditures in SP. ... well maybe biotics 5 after they reduced the biotics requirement down to 4 for kit kats.

If I was given a respec I am sure I would get accused of cheating because I would probably proto out a few things instead.

Bottom line Veterans make bigger mistakes, and know about the mistakes and brood on them. Giving a rookie a respec verses giving a veteran a respect has some profound amounts of deflection in terms of who gets harmed the most. A veteran can immensely widen the gap on his end by moving further out of reach of the rookie who could still by change and misinformation spend the skill points all wrong again. I mean lets say noob got pwned by tanks often in his ar fit, he decide to respec into tanks and find out they're really paper thin.

Either you are seriously dense or have zero understanding of the skill system. Is the skill system perfect? No, of course not. Are all the weapons evenly balanced? No. of course not. Will they be "fixed"? Yes, most definitely. Will you be happy with the fixes? No, you will QQ for a respec again.

There are millions of choices you can make, both with your skills and the fittings. Weapon not cutting it? Dump on some damage mods and change your play style...

You sir, should leave the game if you can't understand the choices available.
