Price on respec with gold leveling

Isn't the point of early access to allow players (especially newcomers) to experiment & learn, especially with a complex leveling tree?

Free - that's what it needs to be...

Yeah, I'm learning that price goes up super fast after a while.

But I don't think respecs should be free. GGG has to use EA to learn to balance how expensive respecs should be. And I agree that they get too expensive.

Given that we're essentially testing the game for GGG, they should just make respec free during EA to allow people to truly test various builds, interactions, talents etc. Most people just look at whatever builds streamers or sites recommend right now so I'm sure a lot is going untested/noticed.
