SOE if you want to continue making money and make your communities happy while you continue to put out a inferior product then sell RESPECS! 5 -10 BUCKS a pop. Im grinding my full temp for the 3rd time and i know i would pay for a respec or 2. You wont lose any players cuz the bored ones will buy a respec and switch thier toon to something new and exciting to play for the moment. And buy another when that one wears off. I figure if your gonna sell us something sell us something that we would really benefitfrom...a RESPEC

I disagree with this. It fully encourages players to use out of game cash to advance their character in a virtual world. This

ROFL!

the only way i could ever support this type of idea is if the respec didn't allow jedi skills to be changed, otherwise its too open to abuse.

id buy one, they should prolly limit the # you can buy per month, like say 1 a month.

If There Gona Add Respecs To The Game Than Thay Should Make It Cost Ingame Credits!! Like 20-30 Mil For A Respec. This Way You Have To Grind The Xp For A Prof And Then Grind Out The Credits For The Respec. It Would Also Drop The Rich Ingame Players And Would Keep The New Players From Using The Respecs. Grinding A Temp. . . ( Jedi ) Is A Pain In The Rear. And If A BH Kills You In The Middle Of This Grind Temp Change Than It Takes Even Longer. . . . . .

I guess if you limited the time in which you could purchase them I dont see the harm in it. If you could only buy one per month thats a long time to stay a Arch/Chef/Tailor/Merchant/Etc. when grinding a prof takes 2 weeks tops, if that. Unlimited respecs a month would be disasterous but then again everyone thought the CU was gonna be the death of this game and we're all still here. There are ways to make it work without abuse. I like the one a month idea. Keeps you grinding 99% of the month. I'd buy 1.

Yeah but there was quite a lot of reason to have a CU. What's the point to have the sale of respecs other than to make it a lot easier to grind professions? How is being able to grind professions faster a good thing in other words?

grinding isnt that damn hard, unless your a jedi and want to respec up...but i find that to be cheating the system, and as a pre-cu knight i frown upon all who used it for less grinding

Actually, I thought it would make my non-combat profession stupid, which it did.

I don't like the idea of respec, a new character could easily be at least a single elite master in a week without even picking up a weapon, all you have to do is grind to4x4x artisan and place vendors, then train merchant as you get xp, place more vendors as you are able to and in one week you have master merchant without lifting a finger, hit the respec button and bang master bh or master any other combat prof.

If you have some cash you could always grind an easy craft proff like tailor or architect along side merchant and bingo double elite mastery.

Don't like the idea of respec, although i have to admit i did use this method to grind mbh on a toon on bloodfin, only because i changed servers and really didnt want to grind it for a third time lol.
