TL:DR GÇô DonGÇÖt hate the player. Hate the game.

And yet take a look at that same game and it's balance changes and you could see this long coming. Things may remain OP for months or in some cases years and all the tears in the world won't save it from the eventual nerf and likely over-nerf. Yet look at their history for refunding skills for balance changes. None. In the end they played a game which by your reasoning they knew they would lose yet chose to ride the high while it lasted.
We don't demonize their FOTM chasing, we demonize their requests for respecs in the wake of the inevitable. |

And the comment about the shiit buckets, just lol you're one of those scrubs that thinks that continued SP accrual matters in this game. Time and time again 10-15M, hell 20M is the most anyone needs to play this game competitively. Beyond this is window dressing. So yes tell yourself people will continue to grind away because so many people are logging on to cap every week just like they were in the beginning right? No wait they dont even log on perhaps its becaue they dont like playing the game and they have the amount of SP they wanted to build the character they desired. Hmm no thats too obvious that couldnt be the reason 
Regarding inevitability of respecs, we'll see how that plays out. With 1.2, and so far with 1.3, we haven't come with any such announcements despite both potentially changing how people would have allocated SP based upon changes and additions. But as far as SP, honestly, since I'm not a single role player I could go well beyond 20m SP and still not have maxed all the relevant skills for what I use. Add new things and your analysis becomes complete BS. |
