Note that this is not a confirmation that we will or will not be providing a respec in 1.8, this is merely a venue to discuss it.
So tired of this topic. But he's one more opinion for the record.
Context: I'm old school EVE. In fact my belief has always been that EVE is too dumbed down an has not been properly designed to induce rage, despair, abject fear and maniacal laughter. EVE has been pussified for marketing reasons.
If i had my way, nobody would play EVE except for me and people i feared automatically because they were capable of playing EVE, both intellectually and psychologically. Ofc, the peeps who fall into that category are very few in number, and CCP needs to eat.
That's where i'm coming from. In DUST when i worry about pubstomping, i'm really worrying on CCP's behalf about playerbase and market share and the success of DUST so that it can grow New Eden into what it should be. My personal opinion is that pubstomping hasn't even happened yet, and any player who cannot survive and prosper in our current environment has failed as a human being at a fundamental level and should be eaten and forgotten forever.
I hope i've made clear my personal interpretation of what New Eden should be.
Wrt respecs in DUST- i've built my character around core skills, and don't need or care about a respec as it makes little difference to me at this point. But here's the punchline, and it's very simple.....
So much has changed regarding both items(suits, weapons, equipment, vehicles) and, probably more importantly, roles, that a respec/refund is warranted. What it says to the players is...
'We know we've made a hard game and demanded a lot of your personal time invested into the grind, and we acknowledge we are changing the game right under your feet. We are grateful for your patronage and respect your time. We feel that although this is a special case, a total refund of sp is warranted.'
And i hate that you've put us in the position where i have to give up my hardcore values and actually say something like that, CCP. In terms of how you've handled this game, you're a clown.
I support SP rollover.
