Aliedora	Posted - 2009.02.17 22:54:00 - [1] Due to all the whining about respecs on these forums, I suggets CCP make it a paid feature, much like portrait changes and character transfers. Players would be able to purchase 'Respec Tokens' for, say, $20, redeem them ingame and get 1 full respec. Everyone should get 1 respec for free with the release of Apocrypha, though, but afterwards it should be made a paid feature. Discuss.

SadisticSavior Caldari	Posted - 2009.02.17 22:59:00 - [3] Paid respecs sound like a good idea to me. ("Fascist" is such an ugly word)
Chief Simpson Minmatar Sanitation Worker's Union of Null Sec	Posted - 2009.02.17 22:59:00 - [4] "Due to all the whining about [insert your favorite whine] on these forums, I suggest CCP make [insert favorite whine] a paid feature...." Surely you have a better reason for suggesting such a silly "feature". ----------- Cleaning up the garbage in null sec, one belt at a time...

Surely you have a better reason for suggesting such a silly "feature". No reason or context. I'm all for respecs, whether paid or not. I just want to shift the topic slightly from discussing the pros and cons of respecs as a feature in general to a more practical side - a possible way to implement that contraversal feature.

Players would be able to purchase 'Posting Privileges' for, say, $20, redeem them ingame and get 1 full post. Everyone should get 1 post for free with the release of Apocrypha, though, but afterwards it should be made a paid feature. Discuss. Fixed that for ya
Sunbird Huy Caldari Wolf Task Force Gemini Federation	Posted - 2009.02.17 23:20:00 - [7] Wow... Give them ideas, go on...Keep it up, we'll soon be paying for docking rights in NPC stations.
ZW Dewitt	Posted - 2009.02.17 23:21:00 - [8] Can we make Falcons a paid feature as well?
Rawr Cristina Caldari Naqam Exalted.	Posted - 2009.02.17 23:24:00 - [9] I do hope you're not being serious. - Infectious -
Washell Olivaw	Posted - 2009.02.17 23:44:00 - [10] Lets just dump the subscription fee. You buy x amount of tokens for hard cash which will be used up by ingame actions. Everytime something is unbalanced, just slap a token on it! Originally by: Signature Everybody has a photographic memory, some people just don't have film.
Del Narveux Dukes of Hazard	Posted - 2009.02.17 23:52:00 - [11] I'm probably getting trolled, but I'll bite: what you suggest would make the problem worse. The argument against respecs goes something like this: Because it's already really important to minmax attributes in order to not fall behind long term, respec will force people to train skills in chunks of 6 months and generally add more metagaming than is necessary. Making it cost money would effectively just mean that not only are respecs still a requirement, but everyone will have to pay 40 bucks a year on top of sub fees. Good for CCP, bad for everyone else who wants to avoid being in a situation a couple years from now where everyone else in the corp has twice as much SP than them. _________________ [IMAGE REMOVED] -- aka Cpt Bogus -- Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?
cpt Mark	Posted - 2009.02.17 23:54:00 - [12] I was going to spam you hard. Untill I saw the bit 'Every player gets it free with the expansion" Good idea. To be honest, I chose the stats I knew would help me the most at the start. I wanted to be a PvPer, and I still do.
Dirk Magnum Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2009.02.18 00:25:00 - [13] If it's a paid feature make it ISK-based, not RL cash-based. People with money to blow in RL are already afforded the benefits of alts and GTC sales to boost their productivity in-game.

MidnightMartyr Gallente NailorTech Industries Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2009.02.18 00:29:00 - [14] While I do not approve of acting based on the whines of the masses, I do approve of this idea. But either way it goes, I will still be playing.
Armoured C Gallente Federation of Freedom Fighters Executive Outcomes	Posted - 2009.02.18 01:12:00 - [15] how about a nice big cup of STFU This week EvE Life: Wormhole Wars 01/Feb

Apoctasy The Carebear Stare	Posted - 2009.02.18 02:07:00 - [17] no. "paid" anything in eve is a bad idea.
Epegi Givo Amarr Demon Theory UNLeashed Legion	Posted - 2009.02.18 02:10:00 - [18] due to all the whinning about downtime, I suggest we make downtime a paid feature. at around 5$, you can launch a downtime whenever you want. ------------------------------------- My other alt is a Ferrari
5pinDizzy	Posted - 2009.02.18 02:21:00 - [19] Originally by: ZW Dewitt Can we make Falcons a paid feature as well? ...and so begins the item mall! ..following by ISK/RM Wars!
Atius Tirawa Minmatar Destructive Influence KenZoku	Posted - 2009.02.18 02:24:00 - [20] please go back to navy field or whatever mmo where you paied for extra perks. GTCs are already bad enough. . . -----------

I used to play that (when it was free though) Same here, used to play it before I ragequit back when they introduced premium battleship, logged in next day and EVERYONE had one.
Junko Togawa	Posted - 2009.02.18 03:13:00 - [23] Due to all the whining about [elitist sticking point] on these forums, I suggest the whiners start poll topics wherein they propose to double the subscription fee to compensate for loss of customers so that they may have [elitist sticking point] implemented and improve their Internet Spaceships game, which as we all know is srs bizness, and see how many of their co-lobbyists are all for doing so.

Karrade Krise Galatic P0RN Starz	Posted - 2009.02.18 04:16:00 - [25] Smart people make smart threads. This thread is r/tarded, so what does that make you?
Tyr Vaantau Amarr Disorder.	Posted - 2009.02.18 04:23:00 - [26] Patch notes: "New characters are now able to redistribute their attribute points at will any time after character creation (Twice for free). This option is available on the Character SheetÆs Attributes screen. Pilots pick their character attributes in a way that supports their expected gameplay. With Attribute Respecification, players will be able to change their core attributes (charisma, intelligence, memory, perception, willpower) within the game. Older characters can now redistribute their attribute points once every six months." So after two changes there's a fee, presumably ISK. ------
Rodj Blake Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2009.02.18 13:29:00 - [27] Edited by: Rodj Blake on 18/02/2009 13:30:09 Allowing RL cash to affect in-game performance is a bad thing. Yes, I know that GTC sales already affect this to a certain extent, but I happen to consider that to be bad as well. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Mr OOOOOOOOOOOOO Caldari	Posted - 2009.02.18 13:40:00 - [28] Originally by: Karrade Krise Smart people make smart threads. This thread is r/tarded, so what does that make you? idk your posting in it too.
Navtiqes Englebarna	Posted - 2009.02.18 13:46:00 - [29] Originally by: SadisticSavior Paid respecs sound like a good idea to me. Sounds like a huge rl cash sink to me, in an endless arms race to always have primary secondary attributes peaked for whatever you're training. Be happy they're giving you a respec each 6 months, even that's too much if you ask me. One respec in a chars lifetime should be all the guy needed to change whatever newb mistake he did.
