Agreed most rpgs give out respec yearly for just playing that long

Implementing a skill tree re spec feature will benefit Dust 514 because this makes the game more enjoyable for players with shorter tempers and attention spans. Dust 514 needs hundreds of thousands of players and I want it to happen!

If I play for one year and earn all my points then I believe I should have the right to move them around based on every point I have ever earned, but not everyone else may feel that way. Even CCP can put a Aurum charge of anywhere between 1000-10,000 Aurum to use this feature at will and I would use it for the fun of changing up my specializations and enjoy knowing I paid them to allow this.

Another very good point to this Respec feature for a Aurum charge is that since players by the thousands would buy the Aurum to do this and be happy knowing they have the ability to be flexible, and this way more players find what they want to use and stay playing dust 514. My summery of the Skill point Respec feature is that Dust 514 players will play Dust 514 longer, Dust 514 would see an increase in Aurum purchases, and new players are more likely to stay longer. Since it takes 7 years to try to skill everything I figured a win win Idea needed to be added. Thank you for reading if you post hate mail I will find you in dust and run you over have a nice day ^_^ !

Absolutely not, and never. Your choices have consequences. EVE is better than other mmo's in this, dust should follow.

We're in the EVE universe. EVE is a very mature game where actions have permanent consequences and players are allowed time to have a real life (and a real job) by means of passive skill points. Lying, cheating, stealing, espionage, and all sorts of activities that would get you banned in any other game are all fair game here. It's a free market economy in the truest sense, and one mistake can lose you days, weeks, months of progress.

TL;DR Don't **** up.

I would support respecs, either for sale or annually. You can't respec in eve because it would break the game, and you could abuse it. I can't really think of any way it could be used in dust to give an unfair advantage. Also in eve online you don't need to respec because you can have multiple accounts.

4. Do not underestimate the organizational capacity of the inhabitants of New Eden (in both Eve and Dust). You will be surprised and amazed at what this community can do already.

Just because something is claimed to not have an exploit it doesn't mean the exploiters will stop exploiting. If there is a loophole, those players will figure it out. Case in point, the exploit in Eve regarding Faction Warfare LP and wrecks caught CCP completely by surprise because the exploiter gamed the system via a strategic manipulation of the market's moving average of a supposedly "useless" item that was worth only 1 ISK per unit.

NINJA EDIT:

In Dust, you can have infinite accounts because they are free. In Eve, the number of accounts is limited by the size of your wallet.

You make some good points, but none of them are contrary to what I said. The exploit right now is that you can spam PS3 accounts to have more weapon diversity, respecs would make that near pointless.

But the overall problem will always be that SP will be devalued and become nothing more than a game of shuffling numbers.

This is not true if it either costs AUR or is annual. Being unable to change you skills does nothing to support "adapt or die".

I think you missed my point. Being able to reevaluate what is a good idea for you and changing yourself to address it is adaption at its best.

I played several months of beta, bought 3 merc packs along the way. I'm not happy with new skill trees or how difficult and time consuming it is to study the different dropsuits. As it stands I am not happy with the way I spent my 6 million SP. Therefor I almost don't even feel like playing anymore. Today is one of my days off, I usually would have logged onto Dust 2 hours ago and played for 6 hours.

My boosters are gone so I'm in the market for another merc pack, was actually thinking of picking up an Elite Pack. If I quit playing Dust I'm definitely not going to buy either. This is lost revenue for CCP. Obviously I'm only one person but I can't be the only person in this boat. Allow me a respec and I'll take more time spending my SP this time, and I'll purchase either a merc pack or an Elite pack. Don't allow me a respec and I'll probably find a new hobby.

Some people will tell me to cry more, or I should have taken more time and read more before spending my SP. Well this game is a shooter afterall, I wanted to play, not spend all day figuring out the most perfect way to spend my SP. Obviously I should have though, because now I'm not satisfied and i don't think I'll continue playing.

Now players can just respect into AV easily... That is not fair for vehicle users...

Regular respec options would completely break some of the game's best features: consequence and permanence.

Or do you want this game to become 'Whatever the Imp A-listers Are Currently Using 514'?
