I’ve been gone too long and there’s too much for me to respond to without falling further behind in the discussion, but as someone who started out advocating for (and would still gladly accept) free respec costs, I can appreciate your concerns and have enjoyed brainstorming a compromise that tries to address both of our concerns.
I started a topic about it over at Alternate Respec Cost Solution #666. Of course, the only people to respond are immediately dismissive and insulting (Not unexpected. I’ve been on the forums for a little bit, now), but what bothers me the most is that only one person’s response showed that they actually read it… Kinda hard to have a discussion about a topic when someone is arguing while being purposefully ignorant about what they’re arguing about.
