It's a pity the tools to allow for a less taxing and more consistant set of community events aren't finished. I hope completing them is not so deeply resource intensive as to be totally off the table as a consideration moving forward.
Be that as it may, I'm sure the community would rather have more events even in somewhat limited scope (and we do love our SP  ) so it's good to hear they'll still be happening.
Thanks for the update, it's good to see an active CCP presence maintaining on these forums and I hope it continues all the way into Legion launch.
Cheers,

Not entirely accurate Fiend. I see where you're coming from here, and your point is valid as far as it goes, however here's the flip-side.
The more stable and persistent Dust is during the (possibly years) before a full Legion launch as a live game, the more reasonable and doable the transfer of assets beyond SP becomes upon Legion Launch. With respecs that are too free flowing we start to impact the entire shape of what is used, purchased, spent, etc and that will carry over into Legion as assets are transferred, unless CCP choose to wipe all of our assets during character migration.
To be clear, I am firmly opposed to such a wipe. Which is why I perceive it as important that we maintain Dust with as much stability and persistence as possible in the lead up to Legion.

ps ~ Dust development is ongoing, even if at a lower resource pool, and one of the key ongoing elements is balance polish. Honing that meta, rather than just swinging it wildly from one thing to another, is going to be more possible in a persistent environment not a purely fluid one such as that created by limitless respec options.
