Bear in mind, in addition to the AUR cost, there is a secondary penalty: Only getting an 80% refund on skill book ISK. While this is not a huge penalty for newer players, as many skills cost close to a million ISK, characters with high SP will lose probably 10-20 million ISK or more in this transaction.

Is it not just a refund to a single skill?

I am going to lean on the use of all plural references to skills and skillbooks in the patch notes. "Reset your skills" generally does not refer to unlearning a single skill.

Pay to win is things like 'golden' ammo. We do not have this thankfully in DUST therefore - not pay to win. Pay2convienience I would argue.

I think a bigger comment on P2W can be made about triple stacking boosters... That's a lot of extra SP gained only by paying money. other than that i loved the new dev blog.

Lets not start acting like a bunch of twats now. Reset is a completely different thing, it removes your SP. Ye followin' me?
I was under the impression:
Respec - Every skill
Refund - A single tree / Skill

I personally have not spend a dime on this game. I have no problems with others spending to get better faster. With the new SP cap increase, you will be able to grow much faster and keep up with the money spenders. If CCP continues to show a loss on their financials for this game, it will be dropped. No profit, no game. Quit complaining.
Long Live the Scout!

For all intents and purposes, I think reset, respec, and refund are basically synonymous. People like to split hairs with terms sometimes, but since half the community is still asking for "respect", I think we have to stop trying that hard. ;)
It was listed as a "reset and refund". So, all skills removed, all skill points returned. Jadek's tweet may shed some light for you: https://twitter.com/JadekMenaheim/status/526081565353590784

Hey if someone want's to cough up actual money to continuously hop the FOTM bandwagon all the power to them, or people could just gg instead and not worry about it.
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

You misunderstand what P2W is.
If CCP sold something like Officer weapons that could only be bought with Aurum, then that is P2W. P2W necessitates that the best gear is only available for real money, and that's not the case. This only takes the sp you've gotten and allows you to move it around for a fee, but it's not like they're going to sell you raw sp meaning you can buy your way into the major leagues.
Proof that Rattati/CCP do listen to the playerbase.

With the cap increase i wont even need a respec.
Just keep what i have and skill into more stuff.
Plus the bad stuff i skilled into may be good stuff later.
My 5'd out breach AR for example.

Aye, reset was originally a "poof, no SP" while respec was "poof, no spent skills."
Soraya, I have a question. So CPM has probably known about this for a while. When you guys heard about it, what was your reaction? And, did you you just go "These are going to be some active forums..."
"This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

In general, we were very excited about 1.9 as a whole. The idea with respecs was met with cautious optimism. We knew some people would love it, some people would hate it. It going for AUR should be a good compromise in being somewhat limited in how much it will be used, but available for those who really want it.

750,000 SP a week says i can get any FOTM in under a month. I doubt i will ever ask for a respec, i would rather just keep widening my horizons.
