I don't know why I shouldn't be able to already but I'd like to, at any given time be able to give myself a respec in-game.. there are times when I invest skillpoints in something that I change my mind about or even, one time accidentally spent some.

I don't see how giving myself a respec would negatively affect gameplay so I think it should be an option.

Nope, do your research and spend your points carefully. If you put them into something you had better be ready to figure out how to make it work. Ya might as well propose that CCP give away free money.

Euhm no... Grind it out like a gamer

Do your research and spend your skillpoints carefully on things that you actually *want*. Don't chase flavor of the month and you won't have these problems. I haven't 'wasted' any SP on this character and I'm sitting at 20million sp. All it takes is a little discipline.

Refer to my previous post.

I saw it, and all I have to say is that the only people who whine for respecs are people who chase fotm instead of spending skillpoints on things that they actually want. If you did your research you wouldn't whine for a respec.

Eve has never gotten a respec ever, and yet there's no demand for it, why? because people spend their skillpoints carefully.

Maybe you saw the post but apparently it went sailing over your head. Once again, it wouldn't affect you so why do you care?

You keep asserting that it wouldn't affect me, but you've yet to put forth a logical argument as to why. Remember that in debates the burden of proof is placed on the one making the assertion in the first place. Maybe you're not reading what I and others have had to say: if you spend your skillpoints carefully you will never skill into anything you didn't actually want.

Actions have consequences, spend your skillpoints poorly? enjoy being terrible. I see no reason why people should be able to repeatedly chase flavor of the month.

To be a 'gamer' just requires that you play a game, be quite.

Your only points so far are:
1) I think I should be able to whenever I want
2) I don't think it would affect the game negatively.

Neither of those are well supported, and in the second point it's empirically wrong because of flavor of the month chasers - people who will just jump the train to whatever is currently most overpowered and fun destroying for others.

Funny man, telling me what to do. Respec supporters are usually the people who don't want to put a decent amount of time in a game to unlock stuff. Those people already ruined battlefield and other games with shortcut packs available for sale.

Also the correct term is "'quiet" genius. If you're trying to be smart make sure you do it right. Please be quiet

Nice assumption. Btw, it's called a typo.. and I'm not trying to be smart lol but you thinking I am tells me you do perceive me as being just that.

With your "typo" I think the complete opposite of you. You don't bother to check what you write and get called out on it, because you try to flame people. If you checked you'd be smart. You didn't so that's kind of self-explanatory what I think of you.

its getting to the point where a respect will not really do too much to me, though I do have about 20% of my SP in stuff ill never use. the first 2 players are obviously in a similar boat or better.


when I started playing I put my points all over the board and wasted so much vial early SP's putting me at a huge disadvantage. although the first poster has a point about FOTM chasing, I believe that is a mute point as many players have their bases covered suit wise. many players before me have had full respecs, I myself have had partial respecs and it did allow me to recover from the mistakes I made when I did not understand the game to an extent.

CCP should simply sell respecs for 15k Aurum in the store.

for those with 50+mil SP's it would not make much of a difference

for the 25+/- crowd like myself it would allow some tweeking.

for the 10 mil+/- crowd it would allow mistakes to be rectified and the making of a lot more competitive toon in many cases.

Me proving that it wouldn't affect people seems a lot less practical than you just giving me one instance in which it would. And I am reading what you and others are saying.. spend them correctly and you won't need a respec, yeah, I understood that.. but people don't always spend them correctly, like, a lot of people.. especially new players who don't know what to invest in. It would greatly help them to be able to use a respec as they learn more of the game. Saying 'F them, they should have used them correctly' is what I like to call being a D**K. If you can't think of a way it would negatively affect you then, again, I don't understand why you so greatly oppose it.

Well 1) the burden of proof isn't on me here, It's on you, and 2) I was generous and already did with my flavor of the month example. You need to come up with well supported reasons as to why it wouldn't affect people either so we can find the holes in your thinking, point out when you're relying on logical fallacies, or so that you've explained your line of thought well enough to sway others, If you don't want to do that you might as well concede the debate.
