 All I can think is that a vet with a respec has less use for boosters, and CCP needs to make money. If you've been here from the start you'd know things would change, and that's the risk we all take skilling up. At least we've had a couple of months notice, plenty of time to save the SP to spec into something new. If having new suits added without a complete skill refund is a terrible enough offense on you to make you leave maybe they should just stop making new content all together, because this kind of stuff won't stop happening as long as they give us more FREE stuff to play with.
 
 I'm not saying they won't give a respec, but it's a bad idea to ASSUME they will or that they have to. It will only make you more disappointed if they don't, and you'll be less prepared for changes.

 I say fine, leave. It doesnt bother me a bit if they leave cause they don't get their respec. Do I want one though? A bit yes. But not much of one. I have like 6 skill levels i want back from various things. Thats pretty much it...

 Gallente Logi suit is useless for the playstyle I'm used to playing in 1.8 due to these new changes. I need the Amarr Logi suit. I won't be "grinding it out" if I don't get a respec, I just will be not be playing. If I get a PS4 and I'm still not playing Dust, I'm afraid I'm going to have to say goodbye to the game.

 I personally wouldn't really care if we receive one or not. I have skilled into the things that I have wanted and I make good usage of it. I currently have 1.8 million SP waiting to be spent on a prototype logistics Minmatar suit. I notice that a majority of the community is often against anything that is brought up, or possibly mentioned.
 
 For example, during the time of the logistics change topics, many of the Min. Logi's complained about losing their hacking bonus. I could care less because I already have system hacking at level 5. I had already planned on maximizing my armor repair tool so I could support heavy infantry.
 
 In the possibility though I would just put my skills back where I have them, but replace some of the weapons I skilled into into more core skills. I will be fully specialized into what I already pretty much have.
 
 Just adapt to the game as it changes. We did that for 1.7, right?
 
 
 P.S
 
 By adapting I do not mean putting skill points into the supposed FOTM

 Yes I have over 30 mil and still use boosters, but if I was able to move the 2 mil I'm iffy about instead of grinding and boosting for another 2 then it may not be a large financial loss but on a large scale the potenial of disgruntled vets leaving is less of a hit than booster sales. Besides, things are actually shaping, most of the people who would have left already have, a huge new content expansion would likely bring far more people in.
 
 Like I said, I wouldn't mind one, but I don't expect them to give one.... at least not yet.

 I understand your point.
 BUT, By your reasoning there will be a time where Most players will Have enough SP to NOT buy Boosters.
 In this case CCP will have to come up with something else to sell us.
 So why not avoid pissing off vets and most of the infantry community (AGAIN) by giving us a respec AND giving us something else to buy?
 
 You cant make money if you dont have buyers/players either.

 This is why they'll keep releasing new content. Having a character that can specialize in multiple roles makes a great asset. Asssuming every suit was given a unique advantage nothing would become completely useless. What about people who join after the respec? They'd throw 1000 vets under the bus if it meant 10,000 new players.

 For me, it's a matter of fun. That's it. I couldn't give two ***** about what's the best build. I care about spending my earned SP in relation to new framework.
 
 I barely even play these days, haven't for a while now. If CCP decides to screw us over, I have nooo problems taking a good long break from dust and just letting the passive build up. I could not remotely care less. If CCP makes the right call, I'll stick around a bit longer and put some work in with my scout.

 If I get a respec I would spend less on SR and not purchase SMG sharpshooter (at least not right away).
 That being the case it really doesn't matter if I get a respec or not 'cause anything I choose not to spend sp on now I would just do later.
 
 As a newberry I researched as much of the game as I could before even coming to the forums. If I made a mistake I caught it right away. It took me 3 tries to figure out my path but once I got it I have never looked back. Nearly 12m SP down and no regrets!

 It does feel pretty stupid to buy accelerated SP for a game where that SP could be worthless next update. All those millions of wasted SP in swarms, laser rifles, flaylocks and other things. Sure those things will fixed SoonGäó but in the mean time, I'd rather just not pay money until I know it will be worth spending.
 
 If this game were a subscription game, I'd have stopped playing back in October or so. Likely wouldn't have been paying attention to updates by now either.

 I'm leaving only if I'm not playing Dust by the time I get a PS4. That would mean I've accumulated enough passive SP in order to skill into the playstyle I want. It took a hell of a long time to grind the stuff I have now, I'm too worn down from this game at this point to grind from square one due to these changes.
 
 And hard-nerfing the EQ Logistics depends on, then adding "bonuses" that bring the EQ up to pre-1.8 levels should mean at least a partial respec. Unless you like paying for a car only for it to transform into a scooter.

 32 million on THE GREY CARDINAL with 8.5 unallocated. I don't even know if I have half, all or none of what I want right now in regards to what's coming in 1.8 as I haven't fully decided what I'm going to do outside of Gal scout and logi. You can never have enough SP though. Dropsuit core upgrades should be maxed, weapons of choice should be maxed...then there are vehicles....
 
 Well, I'm one vet who will be here with or without respec because I'm a badass who prepares for all eventualities so can always win.
  
 But relax, we're getting one. Atli Mar's words at EVE Vegas were extremely indicative of us getting one.

 No respec in 1.8 will be a nail in the coffin for many players.

 Why is the Gallente Logi change so terrible? It's losing a+5 armor rep for a scanner bonus which will very valuable with cloaking devices added. It may not be why you specced into it but why not make the most of it? If another suit better suits your style just skill into that, there has been plenty of time to save SP before 1.8.

 CCP needs us to buy boosters? PFFT
 If they want us to buy boosters first they're gonna have to give us our SP back the we already got through boosters and was turned into useless garbage.
 What about people who bought swarms or flaylocks? They were great, then turned into an SP sink with no reward at all.
 What about people who got the minmatar logis for the hacking bonuss the spent millions os SP on hacking mods and damage mods? The damage mods get nerfed to garbage, and the suit bonuss replaced with LOLREPTOOLBONUS.
 Thats over 5mil SP down the drain on subpar suit with virtually useless mods.
 How many boosters you think it took him to get that 5 mil?
 
 So you spend REAL money, ALOT of real money, only to get it turned into garbage overnight and your money turns into a waste. E.g. How many bought thousands of fused locus grenades for AUR.
 
 So, everyone stopped spending money past 1.4 really. Hardly anyone buys boosters anymore unless its a SP event.
 Because we know its a waste.
 
 Same reason you don't invest in anything in wartorn regions economically, overnight a new faction comes to power and seizes all assets, so you lose your investment.

 I won't biomass if I don't get a chance to dump the skills CCP made obsolete, but I'll probably quit playing for a long time.
 
 I've been playing for a year and a half now, grinding out my cap every week, and I'm burning out. Tell me that I have to do it for one more year to climb out of the new hole and it will be a great reason to give it up.

 The more SP you gain, the higher up the ranks you ascend.
 Once you break 10m, you're a force to not be taken lightly in pub matches.
 
 Then you start playing against high profile players, you start to get into PC matches here-and-there. Your 10m SP ain't jack doodle against those guys.
 
 You final break 20m you have a character that's molded to your perfection. You're core strengths are accentuated. You're a guy that gets called in as a ringer with confidence.
 
 Then, you move into a PC corp and play 5-10 PCs a day(before the locks) and you realize that your 20m SP ain't jack doodle against those guys.
 
 There are always 3-tiers of players
 3. Casual
 2. Do-gooders
 1. The top elite that won't settle for anything but 1st place against any & all comers.

 3. Slim Winning (me), etc.
 2. Mr. Machine Guns, etc.
 3. Espeon, etc.

 Wish I was privy to your source of info, which I'm SURE isn't anecdotal. I still use boosters for both my mercs and the guys I play with use em too. Not everyone is jaded and butt devastated.

 But CCP will just tell you that any skill you skilled into is not a waste (not true, since many weapons are completely useless right now due to the current game mechanics. Example: Plasma cannon, MD).

 I'm inclined to agree, NEVER have I heard a Vet say no respect or they'll leave , if anything i hear the opposite.
 
 I know a respect will happen because of confirmed issues on the forum these include.
 
 New Suits, respect to give people a chance to use them.
 Old suits changing racial bonus, Respec needed.
 Weapos, (RR) damage nerf, respect needed
 
 Whether people like it or not, it's going to happen on one form or another, and as I said before, this may not include vehicles because this was recently done, but could also include vehicles because it's already been mentioned that some HAV's need a change.

I won't be "grinding it out" if I don't get a respec, I just will be not be playing. If I get a PS4 and I'm still not playing Dust, I'm afraid I'm going to have to say goodbye to the game. Exactly, the Min logi gets hit esp hard because the new bonus implies a totally different role for the suit. I have a thread about that round here somewhere. I've let boosters expire for the first time in six months simply because, if they don't give at least a partial skill refund, my 30 mil SP will have given me zero viable suits (amarr heavy frame is totally uncompetitive in 1.8 as well) and I'll drop the game. There is no way I'm grinding for months just to get back to where I was in Summer 2013.

 I'm not saying they won't give a respec, but it's a bad idea to ASSUME they will or that they have to. It will only make you more disappointed if they don't, and you'll be less prepared for changes.
 
 It's not the speccing into something new it's the fact that they are changing pretty much all dropsuit roles which is going to affect weaponry and upgrades that people have skilled into
 
 If they were adding 1 sidearm then okay fair enough you can accept no skill refund but a total overhaul to all dropsuits is a major change to infantry and really should come with a full refund for Dropsuit Command,Dropsuit Upgrades and Weaponry
 
 CCP not giving infantry a complete skill refund in 1.8 is like sitting over 75% of there player base and taking a dump on them, if puttign up with OP tnanks for 3 months wasn't a big enough dump on infantry already 1.8 could be the guillotine coming down on infantry ending their association with this game and CCP permenantly

I have more ISK than I currently know what to do with. That doesn't mean more ISK won't be useful for future plans.
 
 Also, just because we aren't serious in our requests, doesn't mean we don't often ask for ISK when someone leaves.
 
 I'll consider getting The Division when Ubisoft Support consider providing support for their products. I don't expect that to happen before the sequel (or after the sequel, for that matter).

If you've been here from the start you'd know things would change, and that's the risk we all take skilling up. At least we've had a couple of months notice, plenty of time to save the SP to spec into something new. If having new suits added without a complete skill refund is a terrible enough offense on you to make you leave maybe they should just stop making new content all together, because this kind of stuff won't stop happening as long as they give us more FREE stuff to play with.
 I'm not saying they won't give a respec, but it's a bad idea to ASSUME they will or that they have to. It will only make you more disappointed if they don't, and you'll be less prepared for changes.
 you are missing the point.
 
 balance changes are all fine, the scrubs can die in a fire.
 
 mechanic and gameplay changes every month are not in a game where decisions where meant to matter. the truth is, decision do not matter here at all.
 
 people are investing time and money for boosters to get into certain suits & playstyles and in 1.8 it might not be viable anymore or maybe will not exist anyore (best example, fast hacking nimble minmatar logi). this has not happened the first time thus those "vets" as you call them are tired of grinding & throwing more money at the game because of the DEVs mistakes. additionally there is nothing keeping people playing long term. PC is a lagfest, pub matches are meaningless and FW is also just another boring grind.
 
 in short: if CCP wants to earn money they should try to keep players in the game in the first place.

 If CCP needs money why don't they earn it? If it's free to play I ain't putting a cent in this

 Then you start playing against high profile players, you start to get into PC matches here-and-there. Your 10m SP ain't jack doodle against those guys.
 
 You final break 20m you have a character that's molded to your perfection. You're core strengths are accentuated. You're a guy that gets called in as a ringer with confidence.
 
 Then, you move into a PC corp and play 5-10 PCs a day(before the locks) and you realize that your 20m SP ain't jack doodle against those guys.
 
 There are always 3-tiers of players
 3. Casual
 2. Do-gooders
 1. The top elite that won't settle for anything but 1st place against any & all comers.
 
 Better example
 3. Slim Winning (me), etc.
 2. Mr. Machine Guns, etc.
 3. Espeon, etc.
 
 
 Yay im casual

 Same. I have 25m SP and I really don't have most the things I now want.
