Thread: Why can't we respec...

It's not fair, we should be allowed a respec, but from one standpoint I do understand it. I wouldn't want one of the combat classes to all of a sudden be able to decide that they should be allowed to respec to armorsmith without spending a bunch of money on syn cloth and the resources required. So if the decisionto keep us out was madeto preserve that, I'll live with it. If they considered them totally separate...then add that on to the list of ways we got screwed.
Ok, I didn't look at it from that point of view. Makes more sense and actually balanced. They are offering double XP for a couple weeks, I think that's pretty good trade.

All the combat professions are getting the chance, why not us?
There is no way to make the respec fair so they should just allow EVERYONE to change.

So what? Let some combat guy respec to armorsmith. He still won't have the resource collection to be competitive, and it will be months before he does.
I think of it as a trade off. Combat profs can become crafters without having to spend the money grinding...and we can become combat profs without having to go through the monotany ofslaughtering the same creatures over and over and over and over again. Think of it...you could become an MBH without having to grind out the Investigation line.
That's a fair trade off in my view.Non-combat professions are impacted by the CUjust as much as combat profs...we should get a free respec too.We pay the same $15 a month...it wasn't our choice for SOE to completely change the combat system, or to completely change the way armor is made. Fair is fair.

heh heh heh, He said "fair" . Thanks Slim, I needed that. Oh man, that's a good one. Fair, ROFL.
Lest we forget, it's them vs. us, where THEM is SOE -- and us = mindless following consumer.

I think it goes to what was said earlier. With the exception of BH, you can pretty well grind out any combat profession in 3 days. Trying to go AS...it'll take you 3 days to get the syn cloth. I have a lot more respect for the effort I went through as an AS than I went through as a swordsman. If you don't and view them equal, that's fine.

Yes, before the CU combat professionswere very easy to grind. But post CU they're going to be a lot harder to grind out. No more 2K buffs, no more 80-90% resists, no more soloing high-end mobs. In light of that, I think non-combat profs would be getting a damn good bargin if we're allowed to respec too.
And I think it's only fair. After all, the combat profs mastered when it was easy to do. Now, if non-combat profs don't like the way the CU affected their professions, they have to grind outcombat xp the hard way.
If allowing me to respec leftover armorsmith and merchant skillson my second toon (or respecing AS to SW on my primary toon, if it comes to that)means that a combat player can respec toa crafting profession,I'm fine with that. Afterall, it will take them weeks, or even months, to build up a good enoughresource collection to be competitive.
