Plasma Rifle is **** compared to RR and CR of both variants
back in the Caldari Logi days there was no point in using anything other than a Caldari Logi.
FoTM makes gameplay stale and boring because it's usually something broken instead of it just being new. (see current MLT tankspam issue or go even further back with Logistics LAV spam)
That's why FoTM is usually a bad thing. New items are different but CCP has yet to release an item that didn't come off OP right away or severely under-powered. Hence why people didn't flock to the plasma cannon when it first came out. scrambler rifle came out balanced
So did the AR
Want to know how to make a strike-through?

Sarcasm? because the SCR hasn't changed.. and is it exactly balanced? It's niche? meh.. 600 damage for a body shot seems balanced, except with snipers?! 
Yeah the AR totally Balanced..
The Breach AR totally balanced, Then the 7 bullet burst Allotek, then 5?.. Then the Tactical(Beta)...Then the AR... Then the Tactical(Uprising), etc... etc... Sensing the pattern? |

I am pro-respec.
As to the FotM, people should feel free to spend their SP as they fit, since this also a matter of playstyle. Some folks like to go big on the new stuff right away, other (myself included) stick to what they like and spend SP on support skills instead. The important thing is to consider the consequences of your choices.
On this note, FotM is really only an issue for newer players. As has been pointed out, the problem is usually a mechanical one (ie, new stuff is often OP or UP), so the players with the least amount of experience/gun game/SP/etc., suffer the most, while older players have already maxed out a lot of the skills relevant to their play styles. Older players are more easily able to adapt to the current FotM, or are able to exploit it faster since they're probably sitting on a lot of unspent SP, due to having already trained up their favorite skills.

There is a problem when something is powerful enough that it creates an imbalance just due to it becoming too prevalent. It's no fun when you can predict who is going to win and how.
Might as well have everybody give up and just use that one thing. Just get rid of everything else and have "OP rifle" 514.
We have enough vanilla assaults trying to prove their "manhood" with this game that they reject anything else lest it brand them a "coward".
Well, that's what you get from a kiddie console game GÇö kids.
Because if this were a PC FPS no one would do that sort of crap!? Get over yourselves PC elitists you may think your suave and mature because you prefer to game on a PC, but you're not.
The rest of your post is accurate, but this is not simply a console phenomenon

Some day people will realize that respecs can be talked about without mentioning FOTM. It's just another ****-easy-argument that anti-respecers use.
I wouldn't worry about it much. |
