ok, billions of these threads, yes; though hope to differentiate a bit here. My .02 would be that a respect would be required. If take into light, CCP's actions of 1.7 that dealt with a complete vehicle respect; in 1.8 a complete INFANTRY respect would be required.
Reason for my beliefs are such:
1). Suit base and racial specific bonuses have been changed. This can lead to both unwanted suit, weapon & module skilling
2). Addition of new weapons change gameplay (in my opinion, whenever new weapons were released there should of been complete weapon respecs)
3). Addition of new suits ( " ")
4). Changes to how damage mods work (??), and possible passive skill bonuses (??)
5). Possible changes to suit setup? (someone said scouts will lose their sidearm, but in the chart it shows scouts w/ a sidearm, so idk on it)
6). Your playstyle will no longer tailor to the suit/setup you currently run post changes (ex: run mini assault for bonus speed and sidearm bonues b/c u are AVer; well, pending on how damage mods change, you may want a differ suit to benefit from aside an AV role, etc). As people play how they play, you shouldn't be forced to change your playstyle based on what your in game skilling and suits offer (this differs, from having to change playstyle based on ingame events)
Now, I haven't really touched Dust since 1.5/1.6 b/c of how disappointed I'd become with the game. Granted, atm I think im roughly at 25-28M SP (or something like that). Now I know loads of people are probably in the 30-40M SP range, but many may be below my SP amount. The one thing a respect will help, is the lower SP people, b/c it lets them learn from mistakes of SP spending; which will allow them to enjoy the game more; thusly keep a playerbase. Those w/ massive SP amount, it's more of a caveat. It lets you change things no longer need etc; and reallocate Sp that is now worthless (like myself, have prof 5 flaylocks; as I did it day came out w/o knowing how OP it was gana be, but now it's useless).
So overall, a INFANTRY respect would benefit all SP levels of infantry players (as it did for vehicles users in 1.7). Again, just a disgruntled dust vets .02
