Maybe CCP has said something about this and my thread should be locked, but, if CCP has not taken a definitive posture on this, then i don't think any respec thread (in favor or against) should be closed, cause opinions in public forums should be free.

Hello,

This response is being sent to all users who have filed a support ticket in order to request a skill respec.

We would like to acknowledge receipt of your skill respect request and inform you that we have now flagged your account for a skill respec .

The skill respec will be applied to your characters in the coming days once we have completed and deployed changes to the skill tree. This one time respec will remove and refund all ISK and skill points that have been applied to date. Please ensure that due care is taken when spending skills and ISK as we will be unable to reverse ISK/SP spending in future.

If you wish to discuss issues that have not been addressed in this skill respec response, or believe you have received this message in error then please respond to this support ticket and we will attempt to address your issue.

Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Please note that if you are receiving this message you are currently in a queue for a skill respec. Eligible customers who may have been misfiled and would like to request an Aurum account reset should respond to this ticket clarifying their request.

Regards,
GM Grave

It cheapens the value of the skill points. What is the point in grinding 100,000,000 SP if 10,000,000 SP is enough to spec into any one specialty? Many of us are already at 15,000,000 SP at this point. 2. It will have a negative effect on the market (once it is fully integrated) as it suffers yearly shocks that can be detrimental to the overall bottom line of those who have dedicated months (if not an entire year) in analyzing and preparing ahead of key market trends. Imagine all of your research into analyzing the market is instantly undone as soon as players switch over to the next flavor of the month. Which brings me to my next point. 3. No matter how infrequent you create the respecs, players will always spec into the most powerful weapon in the game. This will prevent CCP from obtaining proper metrics that they need in determining what needs balancing and what doesn't as too many players are specced into one thing and not enough in another thus running the risk of improperly using the nerf bat on that flavor of the month or potentially making the seemingly weak-looking thing completely overpowered to compensate which will then make it the next OP item for the following year. 4. Players will then start demanding that they receive more respecs more frequently and will continue to do so forever anyways since now they see that CCP can be pressured into pleasing those who are just not use to accepting permanent consequences for their actions.
