You do realize that CCP will announce an appropriate time to file a petition for a one-time (and final) respec, right? You can file a petition via www.dust514.com/support or send them email with the subject line "Skill Respec" to [email protected]. |

By the way, I agree with Buster. New Eden is a universe in which Eve Online and Dust 514 operate and this universe has been thriving already for 10 years non-stop under the following rules:
1. Adapt or Die.
2. Don't use what you can't afford to lose.
3. For every choice you make, you will experience permanent consequences.
#3 is a core principle that CCP will not break even if breaking that principle brings in more revenues. It's one of those things that CCP is doing well to maintain in a harsh universe that, for all intents and purposes, mimics the real-world politics and economy of modern-day Earth. It's because of this that Eve Online has attracted real-world economists, real-world diplomats, real-world accountants and auditors, real-world day-traders, and as a result this creates a universe so unique that Guild Wars 2...
I'm serious here... Guild Wars 2 literally tried to mimic the economic design of New Eden but failed miserably because they tried to impose too many rules on it besides the three core principles I mentioned earlier.
On top of that, you are seeing a universe that is so lawless that it shocked many non-Eve players to see CCP do nothing while players get scammed in Jita local chat, suicide ganked in high-sec space, suffer economic downturn due to market manipulation and corners, corps being destroyed from within as spies sew seeds of dissent among the ranks, etc.
Dust will be just like that in the next 5 years alone. Some of this stuff you and I can already experience. Spies among us already have the potential to destroy what you built just by simply disbaning your corp, kicking you out, and taking your assets. And that's just for an appetizer for the main course to come because revenge is usually a dish best served cold.

As you can see, so many things revolve around the core principles I mentioned. All choices must have consequences and you must live with those consequences whether you like it or not and whether you are playing an MMO or a FPS. The core principles of New Eden don't recognize boundaries and the console market is one boundary that New Eden is willing to cross and go after next. |

Unfortunately, a large number of console players have been conditioned (ie: Pavlov's Dogs) by the console industry to believe that a beta equals a demo equals a finished product when in reality that is exceedingly far from the truth. |

That is a bit of a generalization. I'm a console player and I know what bate and full clients are, LOL. I think it is just the ps3 community playing COD and not enough mmo. So far every ps3 mmo ppl (not all mind you) have no idea it is an mmo. Even dcuo players were in denial that dcuo was an mmorpg, and they also stated that it was catered to the fps crowd. (untrue)
I never said all of them are conditioned as mentioned. Only a large number of them. I'm a console player too. |
