Well in the same sense, it's also rather unlikely that you would ever obtain such a large amount of regret orbs through the game itself. As I said, they are very similar.

Assuming you made that many mistakes, yes.

But there is a difference between a player who has a full set of Immortal Kings and one who has whatever random gear he picked up on the way to whatever level(/total play time) we are comparing. Despite the fact that there are multiple ways the first player may have aquired that set.

There is no difference between two players who have identical skill paths, even if one of them used to have 1 (or 5, or 100) points elsewhere. Or a 3rd player who (somehow, despite how hard it would get) waited until level 30 to spend any points, but ultimately built the same path.

What if you can reset in Default League exclusively, leaving the other leagues to have thought out builds?

If you fuck up your build in hardcore, then the game should become more challenging. It's hardcore, after all. Same with cutthroat league.

Personally, while I'm largely indifferent to whether I can purchase respecs (I merely enjoy discussion the finer points of various topics.), however, this is what I would expect, prefer, and support the most.

Actually it doesn't take too long to rush a new character (with equipment/gems already set up) through to act 2 and get 2 orbs each time. I bet you could eventually do it in under an hour.

And your never going to need to reset ALL of your nodes...you can do them one at a time to the point you want to make a change, or, for instance, you might want to take side nodes along the way to a distant but pwoerful node. You could take them until using orbs on them would allow you to make the final jump to the powerful node (say your going for golems blood for instance, you could take 5-6 other damage nodes along the way, but then use orbs to ditch the side damage nodes to make the final jump.

Point being, you can already really alter your passive skill tree fairly significantly. A bit of farming with new characters could suppliment that greatly. If you can get 2 orbs of regret an hour, you could eventually do a full respec of a level 60 character (take about 26 hours or so of creating new characters and running em through act 2 quickly.

You'd probably get at least a few random orb drops as well though, so that would speed it up even more.

Also in D2 it was nothing for me to blow through 10 or even more re-spec tokens while fine tuning a PVP character or simply trying out different builds. The fact is, despite the quest re-spec's and re-spec tokens I still have 12 characters over level 90 and another 5 LLD characters and that's only the Soft Core expansion characters. There is no need to force people to start new characters to get replay-ability. I get tons of entertainment/satisfaction from experimenting with different builds and would like to be able to do that.
