    I want some option to be able to respec morphs and abilities that have changed drastically between patches that doesn't penalise me by 100k every 3 months for having 8 veterans.

    Back in 1.3, I really appreciated the week long respec cost reduction to 1 gold/skill. Give us that option again so babies who can't put their skills back how they want don't throw tantums and the rest of us adults (88%) can not go broke keeping up with massive balance changes.

    By the time this comes out it will have been over 90 days. Or are you saying you have to change before the new patch.

    It's going to be bit less then 90days once it goes live. So even at 90 days we are looking at around 100K per month on respecs for people with 8 vr16s. That's still not an acceptable number imo. Most of your players don't even have that much banked.

    I'm also going to have to do a bit of regearing that will cost me even more then my respect amount but i really don't want to get into that as its a totally different topic.

But then when they gave us the cake XP buff, that did nothing for me since i have way more then 501 cp and 8 maxed toons i finally unsubed.

    You cant be that greedy ZoS. You have to stop screwing over your most loyal players. Not giving free respecs to those of us with so many maxed level toons is a punishment.

    So, are you buying respec scrolls with gold? Amazing ! How did you do that?

    I use the shrines.

    What are u trying to get at? If u can't see how spending 140K every 60 days cause of massive changes that you have no control over as a bad thing then I don't know what to tell ya.

    Every 60 days? really? Why would you do that?

    Cause we just had a major update about 2 months ago. So this is going to be almost 300k gold i spent on respects in almost two months time.

    Im not trolling. You said you have to respec every 60 days. I pointed out it isnt ever 60 days. At best its every 90 days. Also what is acceptable and what isnt can be subjective. For example I dont see why you would need to redo champ points and attributes with any changes to DB. They arent changing any champion point "perks" or whatever you call them. So I think just because you choose to do something doesnt mean you HAVE to do something.

    You choose to spend that money then thats on you.

    You must not be at end game, or you're trolling. champ points took a major changes in what skills are affected by thaumaturge in DB.

    If those of us who play this game to get high scores on leader boards want to be competitive we have to respect. You know that, so yes at this point you're trolling. So my choice not to respect would have me taking a whole new aspect to this game. Stop dictating how others are or not effected by this stuff when you're not in their shoes.

    They shouldn't do a forced one again, but they at least need the option. I am going to have to respec at least 4 characters. That gets pricey, and others will be respeccing more characters with more skill points than me.

    No, not everytime it was forced. Over and over again people have been talking about when they used to make the shrine cheaper for the first week after a patch. So you are choosing to ignore those people or you're just trolling.

    Im not ignoring anyone Im stating facts. I said everytime they have done respecs it has been forced. I never said anything about shrines. If they want to make shrines cheap for a week who cares. Its doesnt affect me. Let em do it. I never understood why a respec cost anything anyways. What I dont want is to redo characters not affected by any changes.

    So therefore like I said to the guy I was speaking to (not you) it is not "always" optional. If they give a "free" respec that means Ill have to accept it whether I like it or not. My idea was just mail every character a non sellable bound to that character respec scroll. Use it or delete it.

    Obviously you have not logged in for awhile. Zos did not refund points in anything with the last DLC so no one forced you to respec as you claim. That's the point of the conversation that people were not forced and had to pay for it.

    It was Imperial City, I think, rather than the last DLC, but the general point was that it happened at some point. All of your spent skill and attribute points were forcibly reset. It first happened in Update 4 or 5 (?), which was the first time there was a major change to skills. It happened again with Update 6, when the whole skill system was overhauled. The last time it happened was with Imperial City, which generated so much backlash that they said they wouldn't forcibly remove skill points again. They never said they wouldn't offer an alternative if there was another big change to skills, though. Shrine respeccing had a reduced cost for one week after Update 3, when there were a few minor changes to skills, but never again since.

    If you can't afford a respec... your doing somthing wrong.

    3k (for Champ respect) + 3.2k (attribute respect) + 13.2k (for skill reset, which maybe more expensive or less for some)= 19.4k to respect one toon, ok now times 8 ( if your like a lot of people whom have max toons, and that comes out to around 155.2k give or take....why should I pay 155.2k for zos changing so many skills? whether I have that money is besides the point

    Right and these are some seriously major changes. Nothing like the changes that came with TG. So many changes I think we deserve a free (not discounted) respec token for every character.

    I said "The last time they did it I had to redo all my characters.". Meaning a FREE respec. What is it you arent getting? Or are you realizing you are the one who didnt bother to read, jumped to conclusions and now is trying to back track somehow.

    I didnt want a free respec. Thats why. I think you are the one now just trying to argue. Just apologize say you misunderstood and move on.

    No option to respec maybe not for free but on different rules. Not to return all points but only respec certain skill points or lines, like when making legendary on passives in Skyrim. Respec all skills when I just need to move some points from one skill to another is ridiculous and huge waste of money and time. I don't need it for free, just please make the respec more comfort.
