If you could just possibly give us the option to respec all of our skills once and be done with it, forever, maybe it would be manageable. Please consider giving us a respec. Thank you.
And for anyone that agrees, make sure you like this post. You do get points for at least calling it a respec, and not respect, but seriously, another respec thread? I have yet to hear a valid reason/argument for this, and trust me, I've heard a lot of different ones.
Hey Archduke, since you're a GM can you give me special forum powers just for a minute so I can +1 your post more than once?
It wouldn't be like farming, really 
@Respec topic in general - Limitless respecs are, in my repeatedly stated view, detrimental to Dust. If requested I can 'wall 'o text' about it but for now I'll keep it short and sweet.
In fact I'll boil it down to a couple of questions.
1) How would limitless respecs NOT undermine the value of choices like invested SP?
2) If you (the respondent to this question) are not advocating limitless respecs but rather a "one time" respec what would your method be for addressing every thread requesting a respec which will be posted after this one last final respec is given?

PS ~ I say this as someone who has invested quite a bit of SP into things that serve no purpose for me. I have leveled several basic frames up behind lvl 3 due to misreading the text at the time. Level 4-5 skills are not cheap and since I have the specialist suits, they are also totally unused. I would personally gain extra competitive advantages were a respec to transpire, that however is insufficient to motivate me to support it at this time.
See a cool idea thread? Mail me the title and I'll take a look =)

Cpt McReady wrote:here are some steadfast unbeatable arguments for the braindeads anti respec people 1. getting into the next FOTM takes like 2 weeks 2. the game is dead in terms of relevance. CCP has done almost everything to make anything here not matter. 3. dust is not eve, stop comparing it and making yourself look stupid. in eve you get all SP passive and you need less SP for skills. you can do other stuff for a month, come back and have something new at really good SP levels. in dust, this is not an option. beside that, if you are not happy you can aswell go to the market bazar and buy another character with ISK only disillusioned scrubs would think differently about that 
Hyperbole aside none of this answers either of my questions posed above.
1. Define what "getting into" entails in your definition here. How much SP are we talking about, how many new things being added to the current character, how many support skills assumed to already be in place, etc. Context matters
Also, if it is so simply then what virtues compel the need for a respec in the first place?
2. "Relevance" is, I suppose, subjective but this is pretty much a straw man. Content wise it amounts to saying "I think things are bad so I think it doesn't matter if we do stuff that makes things bad." Circular reasoning is not sound reasoning.
If this has more merit and context to it beyond a baseline 'bitter vet = yes' sentiment then please detail it so that I better understand because at present it really does sound like you are just saying "I don't care so you shouldn't either".
3. Dust is not EVE, correct. Insulting people isn't terribly constructive and while I haven't compared it here so I do not take this comment to be directed at me I also cannot help but notice there are rather glaring reasons why someone might compare it.
Some skills in even take more than a month for a single level so "really go levels" seems heavily subjective, as does the claim that you "need less SP for skills". You are correct however that you can buy EVE characters with ISK, not that their terribly cheap, or that you are guaranteed to find the build you are looking for (depending, of course, on what you are looking for).
Really with the dismissing and hyperbolic tone of this post I cannot help but wonder why you care sufficently about the subject to discuss it if you are so scornful of the trivial impact that having a respec would, in your presented view, have.
