DUST Search - CCP - Allow Respecs Every 90 Days for AUR

They should at least give some sort of option to respec until most of the "base" weapons, suits and vehicles are in the game. I mean, c'mon, we have what? Maybe 1/3 at the moment?

There's still no Caldari Light or Heavy. No heavy for any race other than Amarr. Only 2 racial rifles. Only 1 racial knife. Only 2 racial pistols. Only 2 races have any vehicles whatsoever. And so on and so on.

The whole spread of options should be available, but, for some forsaken reason, they aren't. If they had released every option for every category currently in the game, then i would absolutely be on the side of the people who say no to respecs, but it's still a very, very barebones game.

If there was a new ship class introduced into Eve today, but only 1 or 2 out of the 4 total options were only made available for an undetermined amount of time, there would be outrage. You would only be serving 2 out the 4 particular playstyles effectively telling those who would otherwise fall under the other 2 categories to "suck it up."

I don't see how it's even remotely reasonable to tell someone to "deal with their choices" when all the choices that should be there aren't actually there. Holding onto your skill points isn't really a completely viable option either because they obviously aren't going towards anything and there's absolutely no concrete ETA on damn near anything.

I get people want this to be this super duper ultra hardcore "HTFU" fps, but it's still barely even complete whether they say it's out of beta or not.

At that point buying ISK will be easy. Limiting respec to ISK won't solve anything. I like how you declare things as off limits to the discussion to strengthen your point. No fanboys, FOTM, or P2W. Anything else we can't use to shoot down respec for the hundredth time?

And you assume those that will respec will do so for that OP weapon. Sure some will do so because they need all the help they can get. But I don't care what your doing. I just want to have fun. Variety is the spice of life. If I have to grind the same 6 maps and same 4 game modes at least I can play heavy for 90 days and then logi for 90 if I choose to. Haven't you guys gotten sick of this endless grind. If you are sick of the grind then take a break. It's not like you are paying a subscription. When you come back you can spend those passive skill points on something new. CCP is planning on monthly releases for this year so we'll slowly gain variety. Yes, playing the same maps, modes and structures gets rather boring but if you come back after each update there should be something new to look at. I trained deep into Minmatar Logistics but that hasn't stopped me from making other fits. I run some decent light, anti-vehicle and sniper fits as well. It doesn't take very long to get enough skill points to add a new weapon to advanced and be effective with it. You don't have to spend millions of SP on something to try it out and have fun with it. Hell, I barely have any skills in shield tanking and most of my fits rely on shields. I can still go positive running basic suits with a weapon I've barely trained into. The point I'm trying to make is there is no need to get a full skill respec in order to have variety. You can specialize in something and still have a wide variety of effective suits. I pick something new every other week to try out. You can too.

The 'incomplete' argument is one of the few reasonable arguments that can be brought into play. My only counter to that is lore based. The clone mercenary business is new and the megacorporations of New Eden are just now getting around to providing the products. Everybody gets access to the new products at the same time. I don't know of a good lore based reason of removing knowledge of one system and replacing it with another so you're instantly an expert. I'm fairly dedicated to Minmatar based tech and it's irritating that I have to learn other racial systems for now but I am and will adapt when I can go full Minmatar.
