It seems a little silly to me that with how long it takes to understand this game, and set up a character, that you never get the option to respec your character short of contacting the makers of the game.

Many FPS's give you the ability to respec. I understand this is not like regular FPS's, but many MMOs also give you the ability to respec your skills.

I do not think you should be able to respec whenever you want, but what I propose is you get to respec your character after hitting some kind of goal. For example:

Once every week you get to respec.
You can respec at the cost of 20,000 SP
You can respec at the cost of 1,000,000 ISK

Something like that. Does that sound acceptable or would it ruin this clearly perfect game?

Lol @ the sarcasm at the end. Tbh, as it stands with all these changes I think a respec should be given without questions, Once the game is on solid foundation, I think it would be okay to do it after a certain time period. In Eve you get three respecs with every new toon, then u have to wait a year and you get the opportunity to do it again.

These are not skill respecs you get. You reallocate attributes, which, in turn, generate SP faster in some areas and slower in others.

Eve is purely passive, as you train over time, not through actions. Every skill has two attributes that effect the training speed of the skill (such as Intelligence and Memory). The attribute level determines your training time.

The reallocation lets you swap a handful of stats between each other, really only affecting your long-term training.

I know this, however since Dust is not passive what would u say would be the equivalent? Or should there not be one for Dust players?
