I don’t know if there are really that many people out there like me, but i’d really like to just log in to raid and pvp, but I can’t. Like, I currently only have 4 gold and i feel like it would be selfish of me to waste gold re-speccing to pvp when i should probably be using it for consumables for raids. I actually cannot afford to spend 2 gold to re-spec for pvp and raid every 3 days lol.
Yes, I know, it’s very sad, but I would definitely be playing more if I we had access to dual specialization, and I really don’t see the downside to adding this, because NOT having it doesn’t really affect people who actually have gold, and it only hurts people like me who are completely broke af.

they have stated that, if and then when it is implemented, it will be a gold sink. so, you can expect to spend more money on dual spec (likely 1kg) than the value you are likely to get from it over the course of the season (unless you are respeccing 3+ times a day, which seems unlikely
Dual spec at 50 or dead game.
It’s not about the gold. No one wants to go to the trainer and re-do their bars every day to PvP or raid or dungeon etc.

Okay I haven’t played WoW that long so forgive my naivety here, but why does it need to be a gold sink? I already had to buy riding/mount, spent so much gold/time to level 2 professions in order to buy the recipes and then craft the new items for those professions, and currently spend anywhere from 5-7 gold every 3 days for raid consumables…
great question. i think because they need to offset the cost loss from respeccing. because the people that ordinarily purchase respec will also purchase dual spec, blizz may not want dual spec to inadvertently contribute to inflation. so to create a feature while not tanking the economy, theyll make it have a high cost.
im with u in that i hope it’s not 1kg tho, i feel like 100-200g would be fair and because the server is seasonal (i respec maybe once a week) itll still hold value
It really doesn’t need to be that much. DS originally came out later in Wrath where you could earn a lot more gold. 1K wasn’t a huge issue for the majority at that point. 300 - 500 is more than enough (imo).

Respec costs directly go into the roads in stormwind, hire the nanny that patrols around town with the kids, compensate the priests at the cathedral for healing (Over 50% of stormwindians do not have a personal priest and those that do are shadow).
Now, we know ultra hardline conservatives like yourself want to viciously CUT these services because you hate gnomes.

It’s very weird they haven’t added it yet.
The whole point of SoD is to let people play with different things.

yeah thats how i feel too. i think 200-300 would be reasonable i think 500 is too steep even unless ur respeccing 1-2x a day for the rest of the season
What’s to hate about Gnomes? I find them quite tasty.
It needs it, id be playing the game outside the raid still if we had it now.
Gotta respect for raids, gotta respect for pvp, gotta respect for solo.
I think they should create a specific PVP dual spec. Maybe just make it to where that one does not work in raids/dungeons.
Okay so if i’m understanding this correctly, dual-spec was more of a QoL feature and something you would pay a lot for to have for its convenience? I’m starting to think my desire for it to help me save gold and keep me playing the game more is just not going to happen.
To be honest, and I kinda hate to say this, but my honest feelings at this point are that I’m probably not going to want to continue playing if it’s this much of a hassle for me to be able to do the things i want to do. I feel like being able to raid with consumables every 3 days and re-spec for pvp in between is very, very little to ask for.
Here’s a crazy idea…how about free?
This is a Seasonal version of the game. Who cares about Gold sinks since at some point SoD will be shuttered just like SoM and adding more Gold sinks is just adding more incentive for RMT.
Give us the option to store a second loadout with Talents, Runes and Hot Bars but keep the current respec cost to change the talents in either of the stored Trees,

it isn’t, you’re able to do them whenever you just want to be good at it which is a different thing.
Here’s a crazy idea…how about free?
Thats the direction SoD is going, thus why respec costs are so cheap now. What they dont want is the convenience of swapping talents on the fly, its not about gold sinks its about preserving tedium and annoyance out of spite.
Then how the heck are you going to pay the 1K gold for dual spec?
Respec costs cap out at 1g right now. If you really want to play Retail, why not go play it? Why ask for changes to the Classic Era version of the game you chose to play that literally exist right now in the other versions the game we are not playing?
Kind of silly to call someone out when the OG respec cost capped at 50G. This is SoD not really Classic.
It is a seasonal Classic Era version of the game.
Oh, and you emphasized the why ask for changes part, but I would point out the “that exist in versions we are explicitly not playing.” part.
