This game needs a repsec option at all times, CCP could charge aurum for it. It keeps the game fresh so u are not stuck in one class. Dust ATM the moment is a lobby shooter, having the option to try out diff classes will be good for players and it's another form of revenue for CCP.

It's a win win in my book.

Once again, you are forgetting that CCP already confirmed that there are no more respecs in the future. They have already made up their mind on this. It's just not going to happen so I see no point in this discussion if CCP is not going to hand out more respecs.

They never said they wouldn't charge for it. If they don't charge for respecs via aurum, then CCP is dummer than i thought. Respec option would be a great stream of revenue. It also would calm down the QQ if something was over nerfed. That respec option would allow you to spec into something while CCP fixed whatever they broke.

I guess CCP doesn't like to make money.

As I understand it, there will never be a point that everything is released, as they will constantly be developing and adding new stuff for the life of the game. Therefore, you should never see another respec, because this criteria will never be met.

You respec guys just want a whole new set of skills handed to you, swapped-in in place of your old skills, because you just don't want to have to put in the time and effort to actually earn them. You hide behind excuses like "it'll help retain bored players" or claim it's for the good of the game but, in reality, your motives are purely selfish: you're just lazy. Anything worth having is worth working for.

Anything worth having is worth working for. This is fine in games like dragon quest or pokemon, where the difference between a beginner and a vet are colossal, but the bonuses these skills give are NOT worth the massive amount of time required to get them. Except sheilds. Those should take a lot longer to get. So, there's not a huge difference between a new player in Militia gear, and an experienced vet in full Proto gear? If you want new skills, stop whining that it takes too long, or it's too much work, put on your big-boy pants and EARN them. Maybe the hard work and effort will help you to appreciate them more, when you finally do get them.

You pay for travel expenses. Wait 6 months for processing. For One Respec. Don't be stupid respecing is something common in every kind of rpg related game and not all of us spam them, I myself have never had one, I emailed CCP months ago and was skipped over for the respec last month. But instead of throwing a tantrum I'm just being realistic. If CCP was smart they'd implement features that actually, and this is the really super hard really complex part, makes them MONEY! OMG wow crazy concept. So buy Boosters. CCP makes money, and you can earn your new skills faster. No respecs necessary. Win-win.

Anyway I am just bored in my current roll and this game is just not that great for me to start all over again in a new roll. I do not spend any money on boosters and never will. If CCP gave me an option to respec for Aur I would spend the money to do so, because it would be like playing a whole new game. In the mean time meh, broke game is broke game. Do you really think instantly maxxing out the skill tree on a new weapon is going to make the game less boring for you, or make the game less "broken"? I doubt it would, because you still wouldn't be working towards anything. You'd still be playing the same game, just carrying a different gun. There'd be no sense of accomplishment, no regular "rewards" for your efforts. It might seem "fresher" in the short term, but you'd quickly become bored again, because you'd still be doing the same, single role over and over again. By EARNING a second role, not only would it keep you occupied over the long run by levelling it gradually, but you'd still retain you present role to fall back on, if you happen to get bored with your new role (or if it gets nerfed), without having to come back begging for ANOTHER respec. Besides, it's not that difficult to branch into a new, secondary role. You could do it right now, using Militia gear, without a respec, and without spending a single new skill point. Unless you're not very good, and absolutely NEED a fully maxxed out skill tree in your new role. You're not one of those scrubs that can only survive in Proto gear and with maxxed out sp, are you? As for using Boosters, funny that you'd be willing to spend real money on the "Easy Button", to get what you want instantly, but not the same money to EARN it quickly, because even that is too much trouble for you? That's just laziness. No, I think you just want the "Easy Button" pressed for you, so you don't have to earn your new role by working for it. You just want your new role handed to you, already maxxed out.

Lots of other stuff you can buy with Aurum, if you're worried about their financial state. Might I suggest a couple of Boosters, and a bunch of the Skill-free, Aurum versions of whatever equipment you can to give you a nice start on earning the skills for your new, secondary role! ;) I won't say that respecs for Aurum will never be made available. I agree that they'd be foolish not to implement them. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that they're already part of their long term plan. But I doubt very much that, so soon after the last batch, taking into consideration the issues they had implementing them, and after repeatedly, clearly, and adamantly saying that there will be no more, I wouldn't expect them any them anytime soon. So you should all just save your breath.

Thank God we have kids who AFK in other peoples game. WOO META!! Because Meta game and in game improvements/content updates are mutually exclusive right? I'm just saying it's pretty sad to use Metagame as any form of justification for anything when we haven't even gone into official release yet. Hahahahaha! I get it! Because it has bugs and missing items and stuff, right? So it must still be in Beta, right? That's pretty funny, and it's true! It's also a pretty good reason for them to concentrate their efforts on fixing the game, instead of on adding an (currently) unnecessary feature. Good one!
