Hasn't anyone realized yet then when CCP introduce or change something in a big way there is a 2x 3x sp event shortly after? could this possibly be their way of allowing people to make up 'lost' sp?
in all honesty though i think when the new heavy suits are introduced then isk for skillbooks and sp for the heavy frame skill tree should be returned. same goes for scouts. heavies have only had one choice since chromo. personally i'm waiting for the racial heavy before i skill into commando suits as i want the minmatar or gallente one, scouts are not too bad, the choice on offer give a good variety and uses. proto gallente scout now with profile damp up makes a very effective 'spy' for flanking enemies and placing uplinks down. although personally i would like to see a stealth uplink. its pretty dumb having a suit that is invisible to scanners for tactical purposes only for the uplinks to light up like times square on nye as soon as its dropped.
give it 5 spawns, enough to get your squad in, one carried, one deployed, proto level.
as for full respecs, when you have paid -ú15 a month for 3yrs training into a weapon system which then gets nerfed so much its effectivly useless unless you train for a further 18months in the new skills introduced that still leaves it less effective than before you have a right to moan about ccp changing something. If treyarch or infinity ward nerf a weapon in cod does the player base request respecs? same with battlefield? this is an unfinished game, we know the risks when we signed up for it, its all laid out in the terms that things can change.
addmitedly it's good for player relations if ccp offer to return sp's when stuff changes in a big way but the constant whining about when a weapon gets changed is pathetic. i have all my AR skills to 5, proficiency, ammo, sharpshooter, reload. what'll happen with the changes? i'll be p.o'd but it's still going to do plenty of damage within its range, i have scrambler rifles to pro 1 now for further range if needed, u just have to learn to adapt
most of the playerbase are usually to blame if their fave suit/weapon is changed seeing as most come on here and brag about how op it is. remember when folk came on here bragging how thier caldari logi had 1000shields and 500 armor, then everyone moves to caldari logi and ccp look at why a certain thing is being used, soon forge guns will be balanced as loads of people move towards using proto assault forge to farm kills and don't use it as intended. on a note though i believe ccp should give the caldari suits the cpu back they took. that was a bit harsh.
an idea i came up with to stop all the respec whines was to be able to downgrade a skills level but at an sp cost of a fixed percentage. that way playerbase get to adjust their skills at will but lose 10-20% of the total skillpoints if they choose to do so.
other ideas batted about our corp has been 'respec tokens' these offer a similar method but are bought with aurum and allow you to return all sps from a selected skill tree.
another was simply an annual respec offer similar to the way eve pilots can change their characters attributes once a year this allows you to sell the skillbooks you no longer require and return all the sp to unallocated for use as you choose. offering up one or even more of these could help ease all the grief and whining concerning respecs that plague the forums
