If CCP has to give ReSpecs to keep the casuals interested, they might as well give up on all character development. You might keep players who are bored for a little bit longer, but it wouldn't be worth it (Dust 514 fails on pure shooter merits). They will still get bored. If they (the gamer) believe in the future of Dust 514, you (CCP) can demand their patience and dedication to character development. You can expect turnover, but I think that will result in a steadily growing population of dedicated people who can see themselves playing Dust 514 for 5 or 10 years. Why would you bother trying to eek a couple more months out of some casual gamer who is interested in a flavor of the month? This month it's LLAV, next month it will be BF4 or PS2, and I say, "let them go." |

When they nerf logi to actually have to be logi, all those people in proto logi suits that don't even like repping people should feel the pain.  People like this is why the ANTI-respec crowd seem to just have this opinion because they are just bitter because they got killed by caldari logis. -an actual support-logi that is too tired of his role because of the broken game. ... I'm convinced that ANTI-repec people are trolls. People can't be that stupid to not see the need for them to keep the game interesting for people.
Whatever. I don't want respecs because I don't want FOTM for me, or anyone else. I understand people like MarkOf22 are worried that their proto caldari logi will be next up on the nerfing block. I understand people are bored, but it'll be in CCP's hands. They will crunch the numbers, and they may cheapen the RPG elements to improve average gamer participation by 1.5 months or so... I really doubt a respec will really save Dust in the long run, only expansions and gameplay improvements can do that. I'm not trying to troll anyone, I just don't want to be tempted to respec into proto tanks the day they are released. |

I'm not of the impression it's needed either, but if one wants to try something new to keep things interesting and needs the kind of SP only a respec would free up that person must be trying to throw a good amount into it. Getting advanced gear is pretty trivial and easy through normal gameplay outside of going into something which severely minimizes the amount of shared SP, and even then it should only take a couple weeks.
But then maybe that's the source of the issue. Not wanting to wait a week or 2 to get a full set going to try something new. And if it isn't in ones opinion I don't think this games progression system was designed for their liking. I can respect that, insults aside. At the same time I personally like it as is (minus missing features which I consider essential, full set of racial suits/etc, which SHOULD warrant a respec when added).
I'm not sure why CCP decided not to release all the basic racial suits. It makes it a pain in the ass for both players and developers. It's bad for players because they can't skill into what they need to, and its a pain for DEVs because they have to contend with giving out respecs (we all know what a painful process that is). They should release all the basic suits in the 1.2 patch.
That is a good point. CCP is in a complicated position.
