Been here over a year, over 15m SP since Open Beta and get killed by Militia gear every day. So I don't see what the problem is.
Sure closed beta players got a lot of hands on but you also need to understand that a lot has changed since then. This is no where near the same game we were playing back then. There will always be a learning curve for new players, but this game isn't rocket science. However, new players should take some time to understand the mechanics and the how the skills work before just dumping SP into something they don't understand.
Everyone got a respec at 'Uprising' because all the skills changed. It was unavoidable. But even then plenty of n00bs and vets alike failed to actually understand the changes and skilled into the same things they always had not realizing changes had occurred. My first day after 'Uprising'...8 hours before I spent all my SP. No regrets and as always I say "NO" to all respects that do not include real cash and an SP penalty. |

As for skills.... I guess by reading the instruction manual to mario you became an expert in the mechanics of gameplay, or by reading about the materia system in the tutorials of Final fantasy 7 you knew of the most efficient combinations of the materia, or etc etc.... Lets not play ignorance here. Familiarity with game mechanics produces efficiency in gameplay decisions, and this familiarity is gained from hands on experience. By allowing the beta players this experience, they immediately gain an advantage, and rightfully so. The full Respec AFTER the full release of the game just allowed a magnification of disparities in populations of old and new players.
I really don't think you understand the changes that occurred between Closed and Open Beta. Or between Open Beta and 'Uprising' expansion. I mean, for one thing we did not even have Role based dropsuits then or racial variants between size classes. How were we suppose to transition without a Respec? I fear you are speaking from a place of ignorance. Respec at 'Uprising' was unavoidable...period.
  Now as to our "advantage". Plenty of players I know entered this game at Open Beta...8 months after I did. And they are significantly better players than I am. So my questions is why didn't you join at Open Beta? You say shame on us...it's not fair. But I say, shame on you sir, shame on you.
