Weather or not people can flock to an OP weapon has no bearing on if the weapon is OP or not. The real issue is the OP weapon itself, and once they are balanced, then your argument is in the garbage. Also people respeccing to skill into OP items are screwing themselves since OP items eventually get nerfed.
Keep in mind that we don't have the full set of dropsuits and specializations yet, so many of us have to specialize into weapons and dropsuits that would not have been our first choice. Specialization is needed to be competitive, yet it is unfair to expect people to specialize when all the options aren't present yet; this makes respecs warranted. |

You made the choice to spec into something you didn't want to just to be competitive. No one held a gun to your head and made you do it. You made the choice now live with it.
Personally I'm satisfied with what I chose; i look stylish in my prototype Amarr logistics suit, and I got the most stylish rifle (scrambler rifle pew pew). That aside, I don't see the value of forcing people to stick with these choices, it only makes people feel trapped without adding anything positive to the game's experience. There is zero benefits to what you're proposing.
I find it funny how you want to downplay the value of being competitive when its something so vital to one's experience and enjoyment of the game. No one enjoys being steamrolled by full prototype users while only using militia gear, but this is essentially what you're asking of players if you're saying they should just wait; the whole point of games is to have fun, and this would lead to experiences far from fun. Aside from avoiding being steamrolled, many players belong to corporations involved with planetary conquest, in such battles players are expected to bring their best.
Deciding that no more respecs should be given does nothing positive for the game. |
