Support but I'm not playing 1.8 anyway since I don't have Internet.

Even if I did I wouldnt play because of vehicles and the fact there's nothing new for the gallente,
Ion pistol blows, weapons are still up and the gallente heavy is ugly and not even gallentean themed.

Don't forget that we just got rewarded an extra 2 million SP for free (3 million if you had the omega booster) during the million clone challenge and now after 1.8 we'll be getting an extra 750,000 SP (starting at 1,000 SP per kill) during this coming event. A lot of us were also smart enough to squirrel away already at least 4 million SP before the refund.

Were you able to " squirrel away " skill points because you are content with the place you are at the present ???

Most are not and if you have been playing since the beginning and you are against SP's being refunded then you are one who is afraid of competition and are an elitist and afraid of those who are under you rising to the top . I have looked at the respect thread and seen how in the beginning SP's flowed like water and most reaped the benefit . You were able to learn what was important and how to use skill points even when making mistakes but now it's not the same .

Newer players should be given the chance to maximize their SP's and in order to do that a infantry refund is in order .

Leave all negative comments about tanks in the bin marked " TRASH " and we'll get to it as soon as possible . Thank You

Yeah read it learn it love it demand it we gotta fight for our right to make what is right with 1.8 becasue its not balanced and someone here is lazy! Respec all the points in weaponry and drop suit upgrades make this right here is why:

Dear Devs:

I would like to thank you for putting us, once more, at such a huge advantage over the lowly noobs and their 1-2 proto weapons and 1 suit.

We vets have at least 2 proto suits, maxed cores, likely 3-4 proto weapons, AND tanks or dropships at our disposal.

We are un-nerfable and we realize that you realize this. We appreciate you keeping the noobs down by forcing them to stay in their same under-powered fittings.

To all the noobs:

It sucks to be you. When My RR and CR are nerfed, and my Cal assault and logi suits roles are switched, I'll still be just as pubstompy as ever thanks to 2 suits that are prototype, my 300 mil ISK (on a bad day), and my proto SMG and Mass Driver...not to mention ridiculously overpowered tanks that are nigh unkillable by anyone who hasn't been tanking for the last year, straight.

Remember there is nothing you can do. There is no respec; there is no hope. Just sit back and watch the vets stomp all over you with our unn-nerfable powers. Why bother worrying about being FOTM when I already have it no matter what changes come? :P

I am OP because I've been here. This is my joy; seeing you suffer.

Try and counter my; I dare you...with your 1 decent fitting....hahaha! I have more than I could possibly need!

I also heard I'm getting a free 1,000,000 SP for doing basically nothing; I think I'll spend it on the magsec...just for lolz because, you know, I already have everything I could ever want Twisted



One more thought: nerf shields? I have maxed armor, too. Nerf damage mods? I already maxed shields. Nerf tank modules in general? Biotics 5. Nerf assaults, heavies, and logis? My alt has a proto scout, shotgun, and knives...+Duvolle. Nerf infantry all over? Tanks, babe. Nerf tanks? I have 2 proto suits and 4 proto weapons. Nerf snipers? Don't care, I have rails. Nerf rails? Got blasters. I am god mode. This system you set up is perfect. All I had to do is wait a year and I have become God Mode vs these weak noobs. Isk is not even a factor, anymore [<3 PC farmville mechanic]. I beat your game, New Eden. What else can you possibly do to me?....Forum ban, again? 6 alts on standby :P <3

Respec our points in weaponry and drop suit equipment or most of us paying customers will abandon ship and telling our stories. thank you for making this respec possible and not letting us annex this game a possibility with a full respec in weaponry and drop suit upgrades. your changing all three!

I've said it numerous times before, and I'll say it again. The ability to respec would greatly benefit this game, for exactly the reason listed in the OP. Us Vets don't need a respec, no matter what you do, we have enough SP to adapt instantly, while those with less SP are left to suffer from the continual re-balancing. I'm to the point where I'm just banking my SP because I have nothing more I want to do with it (until that new role, suit, weapon, or vehicle comes into game, then I can dump all my SP into that thing on Day 1)

One way to level the playing field between Veteren and new player is to adopt a neural remaping feature similar to EVE (but different, because SP works differently). Every new character starts with a respec (or is awarded one after graduating a more lengthy battle academy). Then, once a year, the player earns another respec. Combined with an accelerated SP accumulation rate for new accounts, this would greatly benefit new players.

Very few Vets complained about all the respecs they got in closed beta, open beta, and post-release. These respecs allowed us Vets to make mistakes, learn how to play, understand what we liked, and then make appropriate Skill choices. Not giving new players the same opportunity, and then ridiculing them with stories of "Back in my day, we earned SP while fighting battles uphill both ways, this is New Eden, consequences matter, get good, don't suck, stop complaining" is just flat out wrong. New players today have it harder than us Vets ever did. Us Vets learned the game together, got good together, started using proto gear together, made mistakes together, and then got bailed out repeatedly together.

The only way this game is going to thrive is if we lower the bar of entry to newer players. Respecs are not the only way, but they are an important way.

Tanks were reworked and everyone got a refund in all vehicle skills.
Same needs to happen for dropsuits.
all suits are being changed and weapons.

Just quit if they dont, only way Ccp will learn.
