This is a call to all of those that wish for a respec. My proposal is that at 25 million skill points a respec is offered to every character that reaches this milestone. At 25 million you have played this game a bunch and possibly even bought AUR. You should understand how the skilltree works and what class(es) you like to play and/or are good at. You should also by this time understand the consequences of your choices and whether you take the respec or not is on you, but it is offered to everyone with 25 million + skill points.
So for reaching this silver milestone you should be offered a complete neural remap of skills. Call it the "neural purge" to get rid of useless knowledge, kind of like playing with DS10 when Drunk Night was in full effect. You get it once per character at 25 million skill points and can keep it as long as you want, but once it is used you will never get another respec for your character.

Way to high of a skill point limit. 5-7 Mil SP should be the limit. You should know what you're doing by then. If not, it's time to learn
No, 25 Million is the limit. At less than that you don't have core leveled up. You haven't used multiple weapons at PRO 4-5, you haven't been out-classed in a fully proto suit. You haven't ran a fully fit Madruger or Gunlogi, flown a pimped out ADS. You haven't done anything at 5-7 mil SP other than call up an alt you created a year ago and decided to skill into the newest FOTM.
At 25 million skill points you have earned the ability to reset your character, and the catch is you only get it once and only after you reach 25 million SP. That would take almost 3 years for a passive alt to reach. I find the 25 million rule just and called for. |

I support this. It should be an augmentation where it lasts 1 day and you can go into a skill book and go back and unspec giving SP back for them... So it doesn't just wipe your record you can edit it back and unspec weapons, suits, vehicles, modules etc. But no book refund.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL!!!! I like this idea. An augmentation that allows you to reverse SP spent. Yet you still own the book so if you ever want to skill back into it you just need apply skill points to it. This will be an edit in my OP. |

Just guessing this is one of those posts where someone says "respecs should only be given to people who... let's see what groups I fit into"
I have 7,734,775 SP. What groups do I fit into in this post? I am proto amarr sentinel and have HMG maxed. Some cores are low but I still have all of my fits white. Yes I am an alt of someone but my main is only 32 million SP. There are people approaching 80 mil SP. 25 mill is a small number compared to 80 or even 35, which I know a ton of people hitting 35 mil or are on their way to 40 or 50. And I know you have over 25r million SP, so what is you problem with a silver augmentation? |

It would be SP based not AUR if you read my OP. |

I don't like this idea at all. There are already far too many obstacles for new players to jump through, just to stand a chance against vets in battle. 1.>Poor tutorials, 2.>a short battle academy, 3.>long grinds for small increments of skill percentages... vets are so far ahead of us it's not even funny. I'm not saying I want to be insta-vet, like right now. I'm willing to die 1,000 times before I get the chance to have my first proto-whatever. But to give only vets a respec is kind of a slap in the face for everyone who is somewhere between new and intermediate. btw, I have 1.18 million sp. 5 million seems like a long ways away, I don't even want to think how long 25 million will take.
1.>Welcome to EVE where you only have a few seconds of cutscenes to rely on to introduce you to the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tl_TOy3nwZA
2.>This by all accounts should last until you reach 3-5 million SP, and there should be no WP cap on it. At 1 million SP you should be given the option to do regular matches if you so choose. This would not affect your ability to go back to academy if you are still under the threshold though.
3.>Small percentiles add up in the long run and while you might not see the advantage now, over time you will. 2% here, 5% there... it might be the difference that gives you the edge in a close battle. I know I see the difference from going from a PRO 5 HMG to a PRO 3 on my other account right off the bat.
The point is vets will always be ahead. They know the game better than you do, but with a respec at 25 mil, you also know the game and whether you want to spend that respec on FOTM, or what you are good at is up to you. Go back to my OP and look at the "silver augmentation" idea. Where you have a single use augmentation that allows you to move skills around willy~nilly for 24 hours and try out whatever you want to do. Then at the end of the day solidify your changes and say, "I have tried out all the options and this is the one I want to go with." Now don't you think that would be grand? |
