It does hurt the game though. It affects the people you have to play against all using the same suit that is best for the current patch. No variation at all.

How if they have the same option .

Not my fault if you don't take advantage of that and the way things are right now , there is no FOTM so what's the beef ???

Is it that people came together and made a sound decision that will help the development and those clamoring for a respec in the same stroke of the pen ?

I just don't get why are you against this other then you don't want the increased competition .

Who's fault is that ???

My view is this is a wonderful middle ground: Yes, you can get a respec. But it is going to require you open your wallet. It helps support the game, and the cost being AUR-based is likely to prevent people from abusing it heavily.

Because some people like me have spend over -ú200 on this game and really can't afford to spend more just to keep up :) I am sure others are in similar positions ;)

I am too bro and I spend but not like I did before or around 1.7 but it's all the same and I'm like a lot and that's cash strapped but you know what , I'm willing to divert some of that so I can stop feeling slighted , stop feeling like I'm missing out because I've been at this game in the wrong way and that's trying to combat FOTM because I became gullible in listening to the forums instead of focusing on what I felt was important , realigning my SP's will fix that and change the whole environment for me and how I approach this game .

I'm sure there are those of us like you who are cash strapped and those like me who approached this totally wrong but you know what , I think CCP will take price into consideration and this will help solve both of our problems .

Complain about this but do you still spend money on BPO's , boosters and such ..?. , if so then you have no gripes .

Players who berated those crying for respecs are now crying because there will be respecs, but seem to think that it matters considering how people would still have ample opportunity to use different gear in the first place.

But that's none of my business.

This.

Right now the kill feed is full of diversity. It makes DUST really interesting. You're going to see less of this after 1.9. DUST is nearly impossible to keep perfectly balanced. At the very least there should have been bigger penalties to respeccing: no ISK refunds for skill books, some loss of SP like 10-20%. It should be something done very rarely, with great forethought. At least I hope it's expensive (like $30-$50).

I have news for you, most people arent cunts, so they dont spec into something because its the absolute best thing in the game (as if anyone could even objectively figure out what that is). People spec into stuff because its COOL. People go vehicle and spec into tanks because they think driving a tank around is cool. People spec into Amar/scrambler because lasers are cool. People spec into scout because being a sneaky piece of **** is cool. People spec into Minmitar because duct tape is cool.

The only thing thats different is AV, people spec into AV because they hate themselves.

This about sums up my feelings on the matter. Just because a few of us (and by us, I mean everyone who is not me) are min/maxing sh*tlords doesn't mean the others in the world automatically are.



I specced into AV because I learned to hate tanks in chromosome.

I continue playing DUST because I hate myself. This is in fact the most likely reason for all of you as well.

A year from a companies standpoint is not that long to change your mind.
