So far I've only seen that peeps with a high amount of sp don't want respecs while people with around 10m-25m do. There is not really a reason to disagree with a respec other than you don't want other players to spec into something that might give you trouble or annoy you. It's lazy and selfish.
I started this game over a year ago and went into min logi as my sniping suit, then into caldari logi suit for it's 5 high slots for damage mods, and now i find caldari commando is made for sniping so i have wasted sp in 2 full proto suits which blows because i don't logi at all so they are literally a 100% waste of sp. You can say "too bad, you messed up so earn some more sp" but really what is it to you? I was a noob back then and to be honest i didn't do my research. It is my fault but i have also been absent when earlier respecs were given that YOU vets have received. I am still waiting for a sincere non lazy excuse as to why respecs should be given other than "you don't need one because i don't need one". |

The flip side to this FOTM thing is that I think for a lot of people it's not getting into fotm suits it's getting out of their crappy ones that were ruined, changed, out suddenly outclassed at the same role but by a different suit. At least for me that's the case. I would use the sp from one full proto suit and just dump it into my core skills and electronics and add the other into commando. So yea i agree with the partial if it's on dropsuits but that would still allow for the fotm switches which sucks.
I don't 100% agree with that aurum sales argument because a new player getting a respec with like 1m-5m sp is still gonna need a lot more sp and if he was intending to buy any boosters he still would if he had the intentions to continue the game in the first place. For higher sp players it would probably affect boosters sales, but then again they would be needing a whole bunch of new suits too and aurum sales for dropsuits would probably go up. I don't know if that would compensate really but just saying there are 2 sides to the coin and it wouldn't be a total loss for CCP. |
