Nope, bad idea.
While I can get behind a respec upon graduation from the Academy, you're supposed to live with your choices. The best way to learn something is through failure.
Also while every player with 1mil SP wishes dearly that they could respec, just think of how broken the game would become if the players with 14mil could just respec into the flavour of the month whenever they wanted. Adding timers or diminishing returns isn't going to help or change that. As new things come out everyone will have an equal opportunity to skill into it, no need to respec your entire character. |

I support a once-per-PSN respec, and it should only be available when you graduate the Newb Academy.
Once a player realizes that they shouldn't have put all that SP in Corp skills ect, I feel that they should get the opportunity to change their SP choices. It will be a one-time offer, and it will allow for mistakes to be adjusted after a player gets used to the SP tree, the game mechanics, and has a feel for what they want to spec into. It will not allow the players to choose when it will be used as I envision that upon graduating they will be presented with the option, that will be valid until they play their first non-academy game.
Anything other than this is would be bad for the game. |

You do know that this game is, and never will be finished... right?
They're adding PvE aspects, new roles, suits, scenarios, game modes, weapons, vehicles... the list goes on and on.
The fact that you don't believe that a Free to Play game, with that much continuous support comming down the pipe, can last that long... well I think you don't really know what this game is. Sure it's not EVE, but it's not like any FPS you know and have seen. It's easy to jump to conclusions now, but this is a game that will grow and get better with age. If you don't have the patience for that, purchasable respecs will get you out of this game faster, as you'll blow your load and quit.

CCP has a tendency to balance their games, and not just throw their hands up in the air and say "F it!". If it's OP today, you can bet that it will be brought into line. Your gun won't become useless, it will be balanced. TAC AR's are getting attention as we speak, if you think they weren't a problem, or that they've been nerfed so hard that you want to spec out of AR Operations all together, you are kidding yourself. |
