If everything was release at once I wouldn't be asking for any SP back. I would have skilled into everything Minmatar. It would be pretty shady of CCP to continuously realease new racial gear and con people into buying booster to run their race. I have bought boosters and gave CCP my money to gain SP a bit faster, which is fair in my book. What I won't do is buy boosters when I have wasted SP bc my races racial gear was not available to me at the time.
Like I said I KNOW what I wanted to do on dust since I first made my Minmatar clone. Because half the classes were complete and half of them weren't. There was only one heavy suit FFS so it's not they even had any options to chose from. Only the SP for light and heavy frames should have been refunded. But everyone would have bitched and moaned if they did that and I guess CCP just didn't want to deal with everyone's bullshit.
And why should we get a weapon SP refund?
Because half the weapon selections were complete and half weren't. There was only one racial Rifle variant the last time we got a respec that applied to weapons, there were no Gallente or Caldari ranged Sidearms (Caldari get NKs), and now there are several more of each.
Why shouldn't we have got a refund on the existing Rifles when they gave those full racial parity? Why didn't they give us a refund for sidearm SP after adding the Magsec and Ion/Bolt PIstols? |

Because, as we already said, there hasn't been a respec for Rifles (the primary weapon for most players) since we got full racial parity on them. Because there's a good selection of racial Sidearm variants now. Because maybe we don't need a FULL Weapon respec, but Rifle and Sidearm skills at least would be reasonable to ask for right now. |

Maybe when the heavy weapons come out we'll have racial parity. Its not here now.
So... that happened. |

Stop being stupid. You know damn well that is a completely different situation from what was going on with dropsuits. Which was a totally unique situation and a one-time deal.
We got racial parity on dropsuits, there was a refund of SP for dropsuits.
We got racial parity on Rifles, there was... NOTHING.
Not seeing the difference between getting racial parity and getting racial parity. Please explain?
Quote:Quote:Why shouldn't we have got a refund on the existing Rifles when they gave those full racial parity? Why shouldn't they have refunded SP? Because there was no reason to. Everyone keeps throwing around "racial parity' like it's the most important goddamn thing in the history of mankind. It isn't.
This game is part of an extensive online ROLEPLAYING GAME UNIVERSE. People want to ROLEPLAY a character. We have races we can affiliate ourselves with, and those races produce a variety of weapons and equipment.
YEAH, RACIAL PARITY IS A BIG DEAL.
My request for a weapon SP refund is not about mechanics, FOTM, or anything else except that PEOPLE HAVE SP INVESTED IN SOMETHING THEIR CHARACTER WOULDN'T USE. The arguments against it claim that the dropsuit SP refund was valid because we finally got racial parity. Racial parity is used as a primary reason why we got a refund on those skills. How anyone who supports that argument can be against the same reasoning for a PARTIAL refund of weapon SP (only the weapons with parity or near enough to it) is beyond me. |
