I also have to pay for ALL of my EVE SP, and still have no option to change it. If I want more accounts to aquire SP I have to pay more. Why should free SP in Dust be allowed to be pay to reallocate because stats change? I know you have the right intention but there is more to being against respecs than just fearing FOTM. This game is in an early balancing stage and will constantly be retweaking everything, so repecs have been given out on the rare occasions they had to, which were only when there was a skill tree change, they were never intended to be a mechanic. I've managed to get to 30 mil SP without regretting more than 1 or 2 mil SP, which isn't even useless, just not Gallente (I wanna go full Gallente). I don't see why people who invested a months worth of SP into something in a game they knew was subject to rebalance should be able to take back that decision, it's the risk we all take.
The possible monetization from respecs can be offset by the lost gain from boosters and AUR gear. Even if they do make more money it would create a game where those who had money would be able to jump on the next OP thing leaving those without the funds behind and at a distinct disadvantage. This would be pay to win as opposed to pay to speed up and it's one reason why IMO this is one of the more balanced pay schemes, even if it's not perfect. A vets respec would be worth far more than a new players which also creates a very unfair advantage.
I'm not annoyed that people want respecs, and getting your gear changed is tough, but that fortunately is the nature of a game like this, things will constantly be changed and added, what annoys me is that people think each one warrants a respec. Like I said, respecs are done because CCP has changed the skills tree itself, not added things or changed the skills, it's not something they want to do or like to do.
Now that I got that out I do like the idea of monetizing on Aurum bought stuff on an open market like PLEX. Trading boosters and Aurum gear opens the way for a PLEX like system and I fully support that.
Ask for balance, not repecs, balance helps everyone.
Where is my Gallente sidearm? 1.8? When is that? SoonGäó514
