If the CPM hasn't and still are letting CCP know that the respec coming in 1.7 is completely unfair and has several problems, I urge you to tell CCP and try to get the respec changed.
I summed it up in a small post
here, but people have also added other problems later in that thread, so I'll just go through all the problems I can think of here as well.
For starters it's completely and utter bs that CCP is giving people (vehicle pilots) the option to skill out of vehicles, but people (infantry) can't skill into them. There's several problems with this.
1. CCP is giving a certain amount of the playerbase (vehicle pilots) the freedom to do what they want with their SP, while the rest of the playerbase have to live with their choices, even though the game will be radically changed in 1.7. This gives an unfair advantage to vehicle pilots, and it's something CCP should NOT be doing.
2. As the vehicle pilots won't be forced to put the refunded SP back into vehicles, but can use it where ever they want, CCP is doing an exception to certain players in regards to the often used "choices have consequences" phrase. They give vehicle pilots the option to skill out of their chosen role, which means their choices won't have consequences, while the rest of the playerbase are forced to stick with their choices. Again, this is completely unfair.
3. I personally don't really think this is a huge problem, but it was mentioned in the thread linked above. As vehicle pilots get a respec they can then also skill into the FOTM, while the rest of the playerbase can't. Again, this is an unfair advantage to vehicle pilots.
Another reason as to why a vehicle only respec is utter bs is that vehicles aren't the only thing being radically changed in 1.7. AV, and especially the Swarm Launcher is being changed so much (nerfed to the ground in my opinion) that it's completely unfair to use the "choices have consequences" phrase. As it looks like a tank will be the best AV option in 1.7 (maybe the Forge Gun as well), the dedicated AV (Swarm Launcher especially) users would likely have skilled into tanks instead. Without a respec they can't, and in this situation it's very unfair to just tell them that their choices have consequences, more so when the vehicle pilots' choices won't have consequences.
In the thread linked above I also saw some vehicle pilots saying they would like their infantry SP refunded as well, so they instead could put it into vehicles. With only a refund of the SP used in the vehicle tree they can't do this.
Because of these issues I urge the CPM to tell CCP to change the respec coming in 1.7. A couple of ideas as to how it can be handled instead:
1. CCP can allow the refunded vehicle SP to only be put back into vehicles. This would mean that the vehicle pilots' choices will have consequences, and it won't give them an unfair advantage over infantry. Personally I don't like this option very much as it still leaves the dedicated AV users in a bad situation and I'm not even sure it's possible to do this.
2. CCP can give everyone a full respec. This would solve all the issues I listed above, and in my opinion this is the most fair respec to happen. The game will be radically changed in 1.7 and I think it's only fair to give everyone a respec, as it's hard to tell people that their choices have conseqeunces, when these choices were made with a totally different knowledge.
