Such BS you have to spend like 4-6ex to do so buying respects. Whats the point? It's boring as shit play same build for like even a week. Not only that its even more boring to have to make another character and level 1-90 just to try something else. 10/10 Pretty good strike rate as well.

Because your decisions regarding your character should matter. If you want to just mindlessly derp around I can recommend you D3, fun stuff. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.	Posted by Xavderion on Dec 19, 2014, 12:56:50 AM Quote this Post

Thats one thing I liked about D3:) I quit when they no longer had trade but yeah that was far superior system. Play CM wiz one day, archon next then maybe arcane mines next. Why should decisions "matter"? And they dont matter. I can pay 6ex and respec every day. But poor folk cant Git R Dun!

Because you'd just check every build possible in like 10 minutes, and then be done with the game? If you don't enjoy lvling up or playing the game, do you really think that free respecs would suddenly make game interesting to you? " Why should decisions "matter"? Because making a good decision which matters feels good? Free respecs would mean theory crafts would suddenly be gone, because now EVERYONE can just click around and get something good. Not to mention that few quests are just left with no reward now, and regrets are gone. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge. https://joeduncan123.imgur.com https://joeduncan1234.imgur.com	Posted by Perq on Dec 19, 2014, 1:13:55 AM Quote this Post

Hardly 10 min each spec. Still requires huge investment and for some selling all their old shit to buy new. It's not like D3 where you just swap skills. need gems here. As far as theory crafters... that just mean you're rich. I make my own builds now cos I can afford to experiment. Free respecs would democratize theory crafting. Not leave it to elites. Git R Dun!

Woah, I actually thought you were joking :( Sorry Aim. Maybe it would be cool to implement free respecs in Standard or something, use it as a free testing ground, but I think I would prefer the current system for the temp leagues. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.
