Yes you did earn that SP. But you also spent it. No refund. Tell me one thing in this world you can exchange for something new after you rode it hard and got your use out of it? Why should SP be any different.

Are you just not going to train anything because Ccp might change something in the future? Get over it. You have access to the same information we all do. And you know more changes are coming. It is not a secret. Either make it work how you want or stop playing.

The game has changed so much from the start of uprising and so many modules and playstyles are obsolete.

We need that one last respec. Anything besides dmg mods and HP buffs is kind of a gimmick. You can't deny it.

No, I am saying that those things weren't in the game so they weren't supposed to be. If they were they would have been or it wouldn't have been released. They chose to release the game even if you still choose to call it a beta and so we have what we have. Saying it was supposed to be in there isn't a good argument for a respec. That is what fast food guys say to me when they leave out the pickles.

What I think doesn't matter. For the record, I think it is one of the stupidest things they could have done. My only point is that saying something should have been here isn't a good reason. The game needs content not respecs. I have SP in things I don't want and coming from a person who doesn't get to play as often as I wish, it hurts. I Think I am about to break 13 M. I have 3-4 in stuff I never use and don't really even like. How a player feels is important but falling back on key principles in the game could be even worse.

The small amount of players we have either love the game or are EVEtards and love the game. Giving respecs is going to make people mad like not giving them one is going to. Got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything. Cheesy line but it true and we are on the razors edge of success or failure. They have to make a stand soon or we're all done. I don't really care one way or another if it happens. I want the game to get good and this thread isn't doing that and I don't think that it helps in any way do that.

Even stacking hp is useless right now since lolar still deal over 800 damage in less than a second. And every one uses ars (fotm anyone?)

FotG, actually. Has been for a year and a half now, only slightly being interrupted by scramblers

Thank you for making my point Dust Fiend. The AR has had a good run at being the king. In fact probably too long. The scrambler rifle is slowly taking away some of that market share and we have more guns coming. That means more things to skill into and the AR will lose its dominance on the battle field. Thus giving us more variety. But everyone who has tons of SP in ARs should not get that sp back just because it might not be king anymore. They should be grateful it was so strong for so long and adapt to the changes in Dust. If you want something train for it. Once you use SP it is gone. That is a fundamental basis of dust and eve. SP is easy to spend but hard to get so use it wisely. And don't complain that something new is being added and its not fair. You still have a huge advantage over new players that have to claw their way from the bottom.

I think a respec is perhaps not a bad idea, if only from a marketing point of view. Would potentially bring some players back to the game and lets face it, we need more people playing.....

The problem is people will respec Gal Proto, proto hives, proto nades, proto AR and then we will regret that respec :)
