I'm a seldom DUST player since i play EVE most of the time and my skill point allocation is all over the place for skill i have never used or knew existed. I have heard from DUST players on mics that there was a skill point reset months ago. Why has this not happened to me? It seems to me my skills were dumped into various and seemingly random places.
I have a character with a complete useless set of skills none of which i want. Before i submit a petition i will post it here so i would like a dev/gm to reset my characters skill point so I can play properly .
Unless someone can enlighten me to a module or item that does that? |

DUST has no skill reallocation/respec feature. When there is a massive change, such as the complete rework of vehicles or when the other racial suits were added, CCP will reset the SP you have invested in the skills that were changed. I have bee playing since the start of Open Beta. I have only seen four respecs:
1. When the game officially launched of 5/14/2013. 2. About a week after launch because they really screwed up with the skills. Vehicle Engineering was improperly written (wrong bonus) and vehicle shield modules required having both vehicle shield skills and dropsuit shield skills. 3. In 1.7, the vehicle tree was completely re-done so all Skill Points in Vehicles and Turret were given back. 4. In 1.8, the Caldari, Gallente, and Minmatar Sentinel/Heavy was addeded as well as Amarr and Caldari Scout. Because of the final batch of options, they gave a respec for Dropsuit Command.

How badly is your character screwed up? If you have more than 500k SP "wasted", then restarting a new character could be worth it. Usually, you are better off shrugging it off and moving on though. Everyone has some kind of mistakes with their character that they carry with them like an albatross. Wear it with pride and try not to collect too many more.

Unfortunately this is not something CCP can do at the drop of a hat. This takes an intensive amount of manpower and it is something that is not automated yet. The most automated thing is deletion of skills from a player's head auto refund it; however the process of starting the deletion is what takes the longest as simply just clicking delete on the market simply does not remove it from everyone's head. Ever character has to be opened up and operated on basically.
Then there are the more serious problems that could occur such as the instant billionaires and god characters on accident or the missed ones.
This is why CCP is mostly always hesitant to even do a respec in Dust 514.

Thank you for giving me a good answer. A skill refund would be nice if i could qualify for this. Is there any why i could do this in game? |

Unfortunately no a petition can only happen and even then you most likely (99%) will not get it.

I don't recommend this but your best chances are is to file a petition to the GM center and chances even then are pretty low and if you do get one I wouldn't abuse the system too much an annoy the department on that front.
Next thing is to wait for a massive change on the entire front of how you play the game; this is unlikely given the nature of our next few updates.
So finally is to suggest how best to make those skills useful again; this has probably the best chance of happening in the near future.

Thank you I will try. But some skills are for drop suits i do not have or vehicles i have never owned, the list goes on really. |

It really seems like you're either trying to put your blame the game for bad choices or you have someone else who plays your account. If it's the latter you should do something about that.

unfortunately there are quite a few people with similar profiles in sp allocations... it is fair to say it is the game's fault for not making this more abundantly clear.

I filed a ticket on Saturday to have one skill point worth of SP refunded from Gall Assault from level 4 to level 3. It was taken care of by Sunday afternoon.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us. It is with regret that we have to inform you on this occasion, that we are unable to assist with your request to provide a respec, because Skill-respecs are simply not available in the game any more. We can only suggest to keep an eye on our Forum or DEV Blog, to be up-to-date with any DUST 514 related news, and to see if such an option will ever become available again.
DUST 514 Forum:

Should you have any further questions regarding DUST 514, please don't hesitate to contact us again.
Best Regards, GM Archduke CCP Customer Support | EVE Online | DUST 514
As you can see my petition was denied. This is a big problem since restarting would take me months if not more considering how much i play. I was hoping for a proper resolution of this. And I rather not delete a character I specifically created for interacting with my EVE character. |

I didn't really screw off with my SP, even when I first started way back before Chromosome. It isn't exactly CCP's fault, most people play games without doing very much research which is a horrible idea.
The way OP made it sound was that he just had random things they never actually skilled into taking up their SP.
It is however fun getting into a new game and messing absolutely everything up from the start just because everything is so new and interesting so I do understand it.

Too bad. Decisions have consequences in New Eden. Even if those consequences are provided after the fact by the developers.
As an EVE player should know that.

if that is the fact then I would suggest you take it up with CCP, the way your talking is making it sound like someone hacked your account and used your profile in which case take it up with CCP... OR you let someone play on your PSN id which gives them access to your dust profile in which case, its your fault.

If you picked skills you don't want, that's your own fault.

I would just keep playing that character and build SP regardless of "waste." When/if Legion transfers SP, there will likely be a respec given the vast changes in skill tree. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
The "no input on your part" is something I do not understand. Did you have 8 million SP and you suddenly see that they are all used? Like you started a DUST account and just let it build? I would say change your password and account e-mail immediately. Someone else might very well be using your account. But, yes, there is no at will respec.

No my account was not used as it is linked with my EVE account. Recently I have been told that skill get dumped during past patches. As I did not play often It was not something i could check myself or have any warning about. I have not used those skills myself as being an EVE player of nearly 5 years I do not throw points into random skills. |

My thought... If they nerf / buff a skill tree, respec would be fair but if you skill into somthing and don't like it... To bad
That being said, I'd like to be a tiger. Unless (god) nerfed me, removed my claws, gave me a poodle haircut, and made me chihuahua size. Coolness nerfed
