Yes. Both of these suggestions are too much to ask for. Since you are allowed to use your sp to buy skills at your leisure you need to put in your due diligence and read everything you can prior to buying skills.

in EVE the time based skilling means that you need to have something in your skill cue all the time. Sometimes those skills take weeks to train which means that you can only have that skill in your cue for months. If you change your mind in the middle of skilling you loose all your progress and if you don't have a skill in your cue you loose valuable sp you could be accruing.

Dust is so much more forgiving since you get to select to spend your sp at will. Not only is this more satisfying but no sp is wasted by hording it and taking your time to do research.

Complaining about a reset that is never going to happen and just take the time to read. Also, if you make a mistake don't freak out. The sp you mistakenly spend on a skill will probably give you some advantage in the future. No skill is useless.

^ Look at this internet tough guy. Been playing DUST longer than the rest of us and don't wanna give the newbies any room to breathe. Listen dude, no matter what you think, you're not some amazing player, its the skill disparity giving you those wins/kills. So maybe, just maybe take that into account before taking a dump on a newbie. Besides mr. toughguy, if you've been playing in the beta long enough, you have had the advantage of MULTIPLE skill resets. So let's not get all high and mighty prick.

Besides mr. toughguy, if you've been playing in the beta long enough, you have had the advantage of MULTIPLE skill resets. So let's not get all high and mighty prick. First, slow down before you condemn M+¦bius. Attacking his skill has nothing to do with an SP respec. Maybe he is better than you - gear aside. Maybe he isn't. That doesn't speak towards "Why we deserve an SP reset". Secondly, you mentioned that closed Beta testers had the benefit of skill Respecs. You are incorrect, to a large degree. We had the "benefit" of an SP wipe. After E3, all of our SP was gone. We were not in the same position we find ourselves in now. The same happened from Codex to Chromosome (As far as I can recall). So no, we have not had the "advantage" of the SP respec as it has been presented to the community as of 5/6/13. Finally, on a more fundamental level, DUST should not be about making sure every single new player is happy all the time. If you fail to read what the skill does, or do not make skill purchases with your total SP in mind, you (the player) should take full responsibility for what you skill into. At the end of Chromosome, I skilled into "Endurance" and "Vigor". I was a new player in respect to how those skills operated, but I took a gamble and spent some SP. I soon realized that my SP would have been better spent in "Hacking" because 5% more stamina was not as essential as 5% more hacking speed in corp battles. However, I was prepared to live with those "mistakes" and incorporate them into my gameplay. That what every new player will always have to do - take a chance, live and learn. To offer a take back to players who didn't do their due diligence undermines the core of DUST, EVE, and New Eden.
