Giving a respec in 1.5 or at least 1.6 would save the game for a lot of players
Personally I'd only change a few things I'd still be the same class. It's just over time you changed a lot and I don't need some skills and I need new ones. Hell I'd take a free respec every 6 months or pay arum to ge One with a cool down

I've had talks with people where in one breathe they say the game is basically a beta and not finished but in the next they are adamantly against respecs because you have to live with your choices.

If you can't see the self defeating nature of this mindset then debate isn't going to be productive.

My question to CCP is that if they keep slacking on bringing in a new generation of players or don't increase the influx of fresh blood, what happens then? Everybody will max out and then what, the same ole, same ole, all the time. I agree with Kody, give an optional AURUM paid respec. What would be the harm in that?

This is a different game. Fps players are different. We don't like clicking in space to move around and "fly" wile waiting for a month for a skill

To all this may offend, STFU, A.O.D, HTFU, GTFOH, Kitten Kittening Kitten!!!!!

On a serious note: give me 5 reasons respecs are bad for Dust at this point in time.
I'll give 5 why they will ultimately keep this game alive for CCP's 10 year plan.

CCP's target audience is (or should be if they are savvy business people) anybody with money to spend on AURUM. We are five months into this game since it went public and with the amount of AURUM items they are pushing out it is obvious they need money. It stands to reason that if these "more will come" people were here they wouldn't need to do that. And exactly how long will it take for these "more will come" masses to appear? How long can CCP keep it going at the pace it is going? Player retention and player time in game should be top priorities for them in my opinion, and a respec would definitely retain me in game for a longer period of time.

As it stands right now, I cap out for the week and I'm out until I'm needed for PC. The reason being is that I need so much SP for what I want it seems insurmountable. If I had some SP back that is now useless because of nerfing, it would reinvigorate my interest in the game.

Respecs won't broaden the gap between old and new players, it's a reallocation not compensation.

If you're talking about the cal logi + tac ar & logi lav FOTMs please exit stage left.... They've been adjusted and the flay has been shattered. Atm I don't see any obvious balance issues besides AR > everything else.

Cries for respecs have a little more validity compared to the cries for nerfs from AR fan bois & try hards.

The thing with history in a FPS goes like this; when you fall into a rut of habit and stagnation unless you're one of the elite players, chances are you'll become history. C.O.D, Battlefield, and MAG all let you change your roles and loadouts for the changing maps, battles, and community, keeping things fresh, competitive, and fun while upping the replay value of the games. Dust brought a refreshing change to the community with the respecs becuase it gave players a chance to switch things up.

Make respecs a purchasable item or use the ticket system like before and limit it to 1 character 1 respec per 3-6 month period.

You just sound like another one of those people who'd be annoyed that they'd have to put all their skills back in the same place again.... Reasoning like that is cancer for this game.
