This is unsubstantiated opinion.
The answer is no, I donât believe you fully read and comprehend entire thoughts before responding with an utterly predictable bevvy of mis-applied debate theory terminology.
So is your idea that itâs unsubstantiated.
For all you know, it might be, and maybe even this is how Blizzard feels, who knows. Since you donât know, youâre forced to actually argue the point, not simply undermine the existence of the argument.
He has decided that itâs not a compelling reason, for him. You either have a reason why it is compelling, or just donât bother saying anything because nobody is gonna read a giant wall of text that essentially amounts to âmissing the pointâ, the actual, written embodiment of âwooshâ.

At the end of Vanilla my guild split between the more hardcore players who wanted to require everyone use world buffs and max consumes all the time(even after content was on farm), and the people who wanted them to be optional(though encouraged).
There is a difference between something being possible and something being acceptable. The reason things that are possible arenât always acceptable is that people donât want to struggle through raids if they donât have to. Wiping multiple times a night on farmed content feels bad.
Others want to push for higher parses or to beat their previous clear times(something more than just clearing raids where you no longer need gear). If youâre not specâed correctly, or if youâre not using consumes, youâre causing everyone elseâs parse to be worse and youâre slowing down the raid.
Even in my semi-casual guild, I donât recall anyone showing up to raids in a PvP spec in Naxx. Maybe one or two people could have gotten away with it in a non-crucial role. But regardless of how overgeared a guild is, it would probably be impossible to clear Naxx if all 40 people were in a PvP or hybrid spec. And TBC raids are much harder.
Are you familiar with Immanuel Kant and his principle of âUniversalizabilityâ?
His argument is that a behavior is only acceptable if it would still be acceptable if everyone was doing it. Basically, while it might be acceptable if one person shows up in a bad spec; Would it still be acceptable if everyone showed up in a bad spec? If it isnât acceptable for everyone, why is it acceptable for anyone?
You cannot clear most TBC raids unless you are PvE spec. You cannot compete in arenas unless you are PvP spec. If you want to do both those things every week, you must respec every week.
At that point respecing is no longer a choice. It is a requirement. The choice is no longer how to tailor your character to your playstyle, but whether youâre willing to pay to play the game.
PS: The people defending the 50g respec only play the game in cookie-cutter min-max specs.
And remove the talent tree!
There should only be 3 choices⌠as everyone wants the optimum talent spec and has already checked wowhead for what that is.
Why even give people choices? Take the âroleâ out of role playing!
A majority of players largely ignore the system and are unaffected by it, while the minority who want to engage in multiple content types competitively feel constrained by it. Overall, that adds up to a negative experience. Conduit Energy isnât really making the game better in any appreciable way, so weâre removing the system entirely.
Replace Conduit Energy with Respec cost.

Respec should be like an epic flying mount⌠only no-lifers and gold buyers can afford one
MMORPGâs are not meant to be fun, they are work. If you donât want to devote 18 hours a day to the game to stay up with your peers play Retail or the SIMS
