and to CCP if your still out there.
Every buff and nerf is a slap in the face (or tickle) to the players time and money spent in game. No one can argue that the most precious commodity are Skill Points. Yet these points are drastically reduced when the nerf hammer comes down. I put time and money into a skill, when it changes, allowing me no recourse is thievery.

Thievery exemption in small print at the end of a contract is still thievery at heart but it tells me I have no right to my desired recourse. I still feel betrayed.

My point is ease up on the nerf celebration because many players feel cheated over their skill points now being misspent.

or offer a respec to any changes... sounds more logical imo. Compared to other games these are quite the changes. AND I want changes...a game that has a patch monthly to improve player experience sounds appealing.
BUT honestly, what percentage of flaylocks SP is currently being used. I would bet 1%. For every 100 players that put SP into flaylocks 1 person will run them. If that doesn't sound like a robbery I do not know what does. It isn't too damning to the weaker player base...but if someone went prof 5 into swarms and this nerf changes their effectiveness to the flaylock.....that is a lotta SP. Was this the players fault? They should have never specced so deep? All the "respecs ruin the game" crowd wait till 3 million of your SP becomes useless. I would love to hear your song then.

CCP wasting player SP must also be a core foundation.

Respecs may not be a solution for you since you're most likely specced into viable EZ mode gear.
Everyone against respecs at least have ARs, Med suits, and a Logi specced.

I wouldn't need a respec if CCP didn't break gear I specced into. It's not a matter of nerfing, buffing, or balancing. CCP just smashes something deemed unworthy into uselessness.

Many have already left. As soon as PS4 comes out with it's next model, I'll be gone too.

You're a really funny guy ya know that?

I'm specced into scouts for my hit and run play style. When I first specced scouts in Chrome and uprising(release), they were somewhat viable.

I specced swarms for the murder taxi FOTM.

I specced Minnie Assault for it's mobility.

I even have Nova Knives specced to prof 3 when they actually could connect and scanners weren't around.

I specced Mass driver for CQC maps.

Yet by your logic I should have seen all of CCP's crippling changes coming. Yep I should of grown a pair and specced Logi + AR. I mean it is AR 514 right?

Get real.

FG didn't need to be tweaked as bad as swarms did. But glad both were. Would like the FG to get a large nerf against dropships considering how bad they are and that I can two hit even the most tanky dropships.

I guarantee you wouldn't spout this crap if CCP rendered more than 60% of your SP useless (not including core skills).
Nobody is arguing changes, we're arguing breaking.

PLC, Commando, HMG, Scout, Flaylock, Nova Knives, Swarms(1.7) Laser Rifle(1.7 gets worse), Dropships, and Shield extenders(DMG mods just work better)

Again by your logic I should have seen all of CCP's tweaks, nerfs, and balances coming from the get go.

So saying that nobody should get reimbursed for CCP's lazy coding and over zealous bat swinging shows that you suffer from insanity.

You fail to understand there's a difference between change and replace. CCP has replaced more than half of my sp with useless gear to remind me why I should never go against the crowd. AR & Logis haven't changed for the worse and you're specced into one of the two, so I can't reason with you. [Rhyme]

~2100 damage a shot before the nerf.

Damage mods are a *****

Long posts you have, dense you are. I'm done talking with you. It's like talking about Muscle cars to import tuners.

+ You fit my description AR Logi that doesn't understand why others want respecs. Bye bye

Your incredible ignorance has "Evolved" into sheer lunacy. You are rallying for a mass masochism in an already dwindling BETA.........

Side-Note: As a Tanker I have 13 Mil invested in Vehicle Trees. This includes 1 Lvl of Limbus LLAV & an "SP Sink" into Vehicle Maneuvering 5 (1.2 Mil of wasted SP on absolutely nothing.....) This is literally in only STD Madrugar Optimization, no Transporters, Shield Hardeners, MCRU, etc......just the Base Max for a Solo STD HAV with Proto Turrets. Not even my Large Missiles got past Level 3, & Small Hybrid is @ 2. I knowingly avoided the serious SP/ISK Sink that is LOLEnforcers, yet even with the accidental Maneuvering Fail.....& only access to STD HAV.....I still managed to dump 13 Mil into a very limited Class.

Vehicles will be even more limited in 1.7.....yet will require an even greater SP Sink. I'm @ about 34 Mil SP.....but guess what??? I'm not comfortable with being the ignorant masochist who hoardes 19 Mil Unallocated SP in hopes that I may get to actually spec Tank. I can't sit idle on my investments for a Year+ in prayer that this game gets good. I can't be complacent & wait as CCP literally subtracts from my investments every step of the way.....(No ADV, PRO, ENF, less Module Variety & Slots), while most Infantry have fun with everything up to Officer Tier.....& LP Store exacerbates the issue. What about that Pilot Suit that I've been awaiting since "Alpha"???

So I spend 19 Mil SP on a MinLogi AR with max Cores & Equips (Except ADV Scanner & STD Uplink). Why you ask??? B/C I want to try and play this F**KING "Game", & sitting on my hands with near 20 Mil Unallocated is counterproductive as F**K!!!!! As a Vehicle Main I had an intended Path, that has now been lead astray because subtracting Content while adding SP Sinks to an already terribad SP/ISK Sink is the CCP Dev FOTM.

But no.....Respecs are bad b/c Chances Ghost never had a Ghost of a Chance to Get Gud, so he plays possum 'till all the Bijuu/Kaiju leave for greener pastures so he may later feign leadership over the last 3 players left on DUST 514 SOONtm
