Eve and dust are not 2 different games they are 2 parts of a whole game, we have eve the space pilots that support us with troop transport, albeit it is mostly npc based but that could have been done differently, and the foot troops fight on the ground, meaning dust.
They are based of the same lore so how are they different games?
Basically a respec will punish the players that have planned out there sp and put in in the key areas for the role they wanted to play and rewards the players that chased after the next OP things and didn't bother putting it in the areas that are important for their roles. What a respec will do is tell everyone "To Hell With Proper Skill Planning and Just Chase After whatever is OP at the time and when that changes just cry and whine and b!tch and you will get to put your sp in the next OP things" and that would just ruin the game way more then the CoD scrubs did when they started playing the game.
I hear so many FoTM chasers that skilled into the min scout crying to remove the hacking bonus in place of an Ewar skill or change the hacking skills to effect the cloaks. Yet the people that have been a min scout from the start understand that min scouts don't need ewar passives on the suit because it runs just fine without it. It is the players like that, that have no real understand of how the suit works because they keep switching suits and weapons as soon as the next OP stuff is put in effect, and that is what the anti-respec bgade is trying to prevent, rewarding the FoTM chase instead of rewarding the players that planned where their skills go.
I don't know how anyone can have this view while seeing the decline of the playerbase. Ever honestly thought that maybe the SP and skilling system along with the wild swings in development are part of the problem? Ever thought that maybe some people just don't feel like they should have to grind away because the Devs made something OP then over nerfed it? In other words there may be a substantial number of people who don't feel they should suffer because of CCP's mistakes? Maybe once or twice, but what if a nerf bat hits them a third time?
I loathe FOTM whiners almost as much as proto whiners because it blames players for using their SP and ISK for things made available by CCP. Shouldn't there have been some player council or something that gave their seal of approval before skilling into things? This way you'd have credibility when calling for balance because you weren't a FOTM chaser? We could have called them the "Crystal Ball Council".
