No, they simply won't do it because it's not automated, meaning that they have to go to every person one by one and refund their skills (which is too time intensive for 3-4 people), and because they want you to feel as if you need boosters to make up for that "wasted" SP.

It's not manual. They most likely have a script that they run that unallocates everyone's SP, but even a script would take hours (days) to run. They would then have to handle any errors or exceptions that fell out of the automated process; which is annoying and just generates support tickets for an already overworked, and under staffed, team.

Yes, no respecs promotes booster sales. The possibility to generate some AUR income and use Dust 514 as a testing ground for legion is the only reason this game continues to "live" in it's current form.

The script is very manual and has to be crafted every time and so far CCP has YET to successfully deploy a respec that didn't screw someone over. Either way it consumes net team's time rather significantly who are more busy with getting backbones for Legion.

Nice to see a CPM showing their true colors. Scripts are time consuming but not for a whole development team, just one member and a second to check it. Level 2 Forum Warrior, bitter vet.

I can almost guarantee that there won't be another respec, beyond correcting a glitch. you are implying they are not able to run a script ? no wonder this game is dead. Yeah, pretty much. Yup, takes the whole dev team to write one and it takes a month Level 2 Forum Warrior, bitter vet. I shall smite Thy Trolls with numbers and truth doing reviews in free time, want 1?
