I'm extremely disappointed with your (CCP's) SP "respec" or "refund". I want it to cover weapons and core suit skills too. I'm one of those players who's been paying religiously for this game since the very beginning last June. (passive and active booster packs and proto suits, etc.) I don't mind your modifications to the gear I've purchased as I understand that you are busy improving the game, but I expect a full SP refund when you make these large-scale changes especially. Anything less is unacceptable. Is this how you do business in Iceland? I expect you to treat all of us, your customers, respectfully and correctly. You've even set your own precedent as you gave a full refund to players who had specced into vehicles. I really don't understand you. Are you really so clueless?

What have I paid for and how have you reneged on each sale? (This is the way I see it, I'm afraid.)

I bought a Swarm Launcher (I spent months speccing into it - It cost 30 euros or so as I see it)
CCP reneged and nerffed it to uselessness and upped Tanks etc to godmode.

I've specced into AV grenades and Damage mods to compensate.
CCP has again reneged and will be nerffing them both.

The list goes on for me and I'm sure for others too. I won't belabour the point. Nor do I want to pedantically break down all the details.

I love your game CCP, but I'm having difficulties liking your company, despite the apparent friendliness of the Devs in the forums. And I'm afraid I'm having difficulties with not feeling somewhat angry and resentful about this. It sometimes seems like every time I build something up, you tear it down and put me back at square one. How many people have quit this game because of your nerfs? Is this how you plan to build up your player base?

I want a full SP refund so I can spec into something playable. I want to like you CCP, I really do. I want to like you as much as I like your game. Please, reconsider and rectify.

I'll be sending this post in as a support ticket as well.

At 200 dollars I assume you run booster, not even going to bother about the near 3m sp on the table before the patch. With booster getting the 1.4 million sp to get op to 5 and Prof to 4 would take about 3 weeks. Some how I think you'll survive without a weapon respec

Ignoring the OP, I will say this, the lack of a full infantry respec hurts the newer players without SP to spare far worse than it does those of us that have enough SP unallocated to go full proto in whatever we desire after the patch. All the lack of a full infantry respec does is stifle competition and diminishes the incentive for newer players to actually play the game.

It is a really tough line for CCP to walk in this game. How do you state "your choices are important; live with them" and offer any kind of refund?

**** its 3 freaken weeks or a month with no boosters. Weapons come and go on which is the best that's never going to change get used to it. The playerbase needs to learn this just like it did in eve where patches can easily and regularly invalidate years of training.

Them giving out a refund for Dropsuit Command was a necessity to the core. I could not imagine the outcry there would be if that happened. Balance changes are simply going to happen.

How can they say our choices are important when they change the functionality of the things we chose?

I'm a special, shiny and unique Pony!!!!!

I stopped caring after the "I paid" part. Really. I've been around for a long time (and I have said this quite a few times) and one of the things that I will step on is "I pay money to get my way!" mentality. It's juvenile. Childish. Buying anything in a free to play game means you want to support it, not that you're buying the game.

I may have been away in Warframe for some time, but even us over there will laugh at you when you pull the "I paid so I should get everything I want 'cause I'm a pretty pink princess!" out. Always good for a laugh though.

Added note: I've put somewhere between three hundred to five hundred (USD) into Dust 514 over the course of time. I chuckle at you.

In any case, you're a troll!

Yes, clearly I am. You caught me red handed. Now I must drag my club along to my bridge to The Lonely Man song and cry. I will look to my troll wife when she asked me what happened and I'll say "they caught me". We will then eat three goats.

On second thought, while the rest of you continue playing DUST 514, I will research the issue a bit further.

I have already found, for example, that EU authorities have published a document taking a legal position on practices related to online games:
http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/enforcement/docs/common_position_on_online_games_en.pdf

I've noticed that there are several organizations that take in consumer complaints as well. I will inform of what I've found if Devs permit.

Meh, over time enough people will stop playing this LOL F2P lobby shooter and move on to better games like so many others already have that CCP will be forced into giving respecs for $$$$ just to keep this POS game a float.

Of coarse by that time it may be too late for anyone to care.

Then it will just be the ub3r l33t hardcor3 fan boys pew pewing each other in the face, oh wait...........................that is all it pretty much is now.

Just a whole bunch of ub3r l33t fan boys pew pewing each other in the face.
