sorry to say this bluntly, but it's people like you who are ruining this game for everyone else.

basically what you're saying is that since that guy wants to go FoTM, nobody can get a respec, even if they need it?

other than you're invalid and quite honestly stupid argument of FoTM, tell me why respecs would hurt the game. because me, and many other people here can give you PLENTY of reasons on why respecs would HELP the game.

There is no "need" reason for a respec. Nobody has that need. Not one person.

You can want one, because you made bad choices. You can want one, because CCP nerfed or otherwise changed the fit you liked, but you certainly don't need one. You see, you get skill points for playing the game, and you spend those on skills you want.

I'd like a billion free ISK too, but I understand why it would be hurtful to the game for CCP to give it to everyone.

except when someone wanted a fast hacking suit, then the changes made it unable to hack fast anymore

That's not valid because the FoTM will be just that. A Flavor Of The Month So unless you are offering respecs every month, your aren't enabling FoTM usage beyond what would already occur even without a respec. Additionally, not EVERY single person who wants a respec is wishing for one simply for the ability to skill into a FoTM . Punishing an entire playerbase for the actions of a few is not the way to handle things. CoD -----> <----- WoT Please AR and Tank scrubs, go to your respective games. Leave DUST alone!

That was necessitated because the rearrangement of skills in the tree actually broke the existing chain of allocated skills. And I think they went a bit overboard with it as it is.

Why does he not deserve a respec for that suit? And why does he not deserve a respec from his Proto Amarr Assault? So did I. I was fully aware (as all intelligent players should be) that the game is subject to change. And I'm not entitled to a do-over every time it does. Every time a weapon is nerfed, we don't get a refund either. Even though flaylock pistols and swarm launchers are now both a comedic joke. The game will always be changing. You may want to revisit an old suit later, or you might not, but you used those skill points, and every time we respec, we reward players for doing the fit-of-the-month mob behavior which makes this game terrible to play. FOTM is a hard behavior to kill, but without respecs, it is, at least, appropriately costly. I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate

You're acting like we want a respec everytime they add something new or change something regardless of size. You realize people are only asking for a respec because of a) racial dropsuits finally getting added and b) suit bonuses getting dramatically changed. Maybe we'll have a small FOTM problem at the start, but that's something you just have to deal with. And from here, I mean, it doesn't really look like they can add any more core suits if they have all the racial light, mediums, and heavies and I doubt CCP is going to completely overall the suit bonuses again so from that perspective there would never have to be another respec again. But you can't just say "No respecs because FOTM" even if the respec is absolutely 100% warranted. It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Super Amarr!

FOTM is a hard behavior to kill, but without respecs, it is, at least, appropriately costly. Your examples are bad. If a weapon gets nerfed, it is still serves the same function, just not as well. The flaylock still has high direct damage and some splash damage, just not as much. It still serves the same role as it did before. Meanwhile, the Minmatar logistics role used to be extra fast hacking, but now it's role is repair tool efficiency. That is completely different. Now if the Minmatar Logistics skill bonus got changed to 2% hacking speed per level instead of 5% hacking speed per level, then your analogy would be appropriate and you would be right that a respec is not warranted. However, that is not the case. It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Super Amarr!

Your Absolut End SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 330	Posted - 2014.01.07 23:37:00 - [25] - Quote I specced into Amarr Assault for Heat direction on laser rifles once Uprising came out,. Lasers were crap, I went Scr, still got aomething out of that bonus, LR got a minor buff, worked finally again, happy me. Other racial suits come out making LR ovious again. Heat reduction gets taken away from the suit, killing my whole intention why I skilled into the suit, RoF bonus won't help for either SCR nor LR. I highly hope they bring a respec with this changes so I can spec out of all the useless Amarr stuff once those changes apply. Only thing which still has a small appeal to me might be the Amarr logi bonus, but thinking about how good Uplinks already are I doubt I'll pick that suit up again. Btw: Gallnte Logi will make even the highly dedicated stealth scouts obvious. If CCP won't bring a respec with this patch I see a very big group of players leaving.... another one bites the Dust...
