Since progress carries over to Legion, this won't ever happen. A respec should be 100% reasonable though, considering any transfer to Legion would have to logically un-allocate your SP anyways. Lol your progress will not carry over, your Dust account is liked to Sonys PSN. Hence why the name is legion not Dust514. Minus the fact that it's been confirmed to carry over, but, to be fair, I think all that tin foil around your head is making you kind of hard to understand 
Really? Funny, I remember lots of things being "confirmed" about Dust a year or two ago as well...
Even IF they are sincere in their desire to have your progress carry over, it is too early in Legion's development cycle to make such a promise, which is why, if read CCP's posts on the subject, you'll notice that they haven't actually "confirmed" anything of the sort.
They've only said they will "try" to have your progress carry over, which is just the safe, marketing thing to say in this situation, to keep you around and interested in their new shiny. |

They know that if they don't transfer from DUST to Legion they will lose the support they have for it. SP is only a number. What they haven't confirmed yet is whether or not Legion has the Green Light to go into full time development. Most of the people who "confirmed" the pie in the sky features for DUST have long since been fired, and for good reason. I choose to look forward to the future. It doesn't cost me a dime, and it doesn't drown me in negativity, so it's basically a win win for me.
Point being that, whether they are sincere or not, many things can and will change over the course of development.
What that means is, even if they really really really WANT to be able to have your progress carry over, that doesn't necessarily mean that, when the time actually comes, they'll be able to.
Not being negative, just being realistic.
Legion is only in the prototype stage, which is why they haven't CONFIRMED anything yet, but have only said that they want to, and that they will try to, but are, at this point, not yet 100% sure they will be able to.
Throwing around the word "confirmed" on the forums, when no such confirmation yet exists, is simply spreading misinformation. |

I don't have the link, but in the round table and on multiple places on the forums, blues have confirmed that progress will transfer. You're right though, it's a long time from now till then, so we can only see. I was 100% ready to walk away from DUST for good before they announced Legion though, so for me, I have nothing to lose. Legion is what's keeping me here now.
If you find the link, I'd like to see it.
It's entirely possible that I've missed it, but I have been checking the Dev posts pretty thoroughly since Fanfest, and don't recall seeing any actual confirmation. |
