Thread: Why am I ticked off at the new riflemen/women?
)
As one those people that respec to Rifleman from a different prof I feelI need to say something in my defense.
I can totally agree with you in the above scenario. I wouldnt be going up to other Riflemen/women and telling them how to play the game.
I'd more likely just ask for their help, trying to understand and getting to know all the ins and outs of the Rifleman.
Having played it for a couple of days now I must say I have a newfound respect for the Rifleman.
Its one thing hearing about or playing against a profession, but its another to actually play them.
I have played a long time to gain the professions I had before too.
The respec just gives me a chance to taste different professions and see what they are all about and stick with the one I like most.
I have to say I REALLY like Rifleman at the moment.
Rescpect to all of you for grinding it.
Though older players have grinded too.

Im not sure where this animosity is coming from. I never macro'ed to get my xp and every xp earned was a cherished Rifleman's memory (coming from someone that has a Master Doc/Master CM thats saying something).. I worked my hiney off to get Master RIfle over a year ago... is it just me, or are all the other Professions feeling this way? To be honest, I felt this way when Jedi were able to respec and pick up any Master they wanted then too, even if they'd never gotten a single XP in it. Maybe I just need a massage.. LOL

P.S. this post is sincere. I need someone to reassure me its ok to have all these new Riflemen with no experience in the profession.. LOL
I agree. I am still a new rifleman as Imasteredit about 3 weeks before the CURB hit. I knewwhile i was mastering I could just stop and wait for the respec but doing that would have taken all of the fun out of it for me.I took my time over about 4 weeks playing and learning the profession before mastering and had a blast.I loved the profession before the CURB and I love it now. (I miss area attacks though!)I did the same thingwith swordsman. I love both professions becuase i took the time to master them the old fashioned way. I can't see feeling the same for them if they were just given to me.
That being said, i cant blame anyone for respecing to this profession. It's one of the best and I welcome any new Rifleman/Woman to the club regardless of whether or not they respec'd.

I sorta feel the same way about other professions, but look at it this way, if you respeced to a master profession you had to have worked your butt off grinding some other master profession
I did respec to rifles (was thinking of switching to it and grinding it pre-CU), so I didnt grind riflemen at all, BUT I did work my butt off getting master pikemen and spent tons of money speed capping and buying good pikes (because you cant craft a good pike and the looted ones are big $$$$) well after CU all my good LVAs turned to crap and pikemen is just not appealling due to the big fat nerf bat it got.
So I was wanting to do riflemen before, heh I'll try it out (also tried carbines, pistols and comando)
I loved it as I knew I would, so I am riflemen to stay now
Point being : If you respeced to a master profession, you had to have previously worked your butt off to master another master profession, so basically your just trading master for master, I dont see any harm there....except BH investigation that is the toughest tree to grind of all IMO, took 3 months to get investigation III , to be able to respec this is kinda messed up to me, but hey,...more power to ya, wish I coulda respeced it myself
, back then you needed master scout/ master marksman before you could do it. Anyways I wouldnt worry to much about it because everyone can use rifles anyways and people will probably be using the most damaging weapon they can find.
