Personally I am not inclined to have players able to respec.
Unlike others I have made mistakes on this character with skilling...... would a Respec benefit me?
Yes.
Do I want one?
No.
Why?
Because players need to think..... they should not be given everything easily.....they should not feel entitled. In EVE and Dust actions have weight, they have consequences, and they have repercussions.

After two freaking years of dealing with "respec" threads like this, one would wonder if anyone bothers to do their research on the forums and use the search function to see what was discussed previously on the subject matter. Two years of this. Two years and CCP still hasn't put them in? Sounds like a lot of people want it, shouldn't you be more upset with CCP?
Plenty more important stuff to be irate about....... like my ******* AMARRIAN HAV!
Do you see one?
No?
THAT'S THE POINT!

Players need to think? ... Okay, sure, still though, a very complicated game that new players tend to mess up in at least a few times and I wouldn't think it's unlikely that because of that some have quickly given up on the game, thus, allowing it could lead to an increase in players. They should not be given everything easily? ... They aren't being "given" anything, they aren't asking for free skillpoints, they earned the skillpoints.. they were just indecisive, didn't have the proper experience to know what to invest in, or possibly just accidently used some. They should not feel entitled? True, but I don't recall anyone expressing that they felt they were entitled.. this is a request, and it's been requested by a lot of people a lot of times. Isn't one of CCPs top priorities supposed to be giving the community what is largely requested? Isn't that the whole purpose of this section of the forums?
I was indecisive as well. I put A LOT of SP into weapons I will never use again, I have SP in skills that don't do anything, and in Dropsuits I rarely use......
Every players who is here on the forums was in the same place as these beginners once before...... we understand that it hits you for a month...tops.....then you move on.
If players have the options to respec regularly they have no attachment to their character, no care in selecting their skills, no unique aspects that make their character special. SP investment is like a chronicle of your characters actions in Dust and gives your character identity....... I'd hate to see Dust/ Legion lose its harsh and gritty vibe for casualised mechanics because players stopped taking the choices seriously.
