Yeah, the forced respecs were a pain in the bu... uhm... posterior. And respecs don't really cost all that much, its pocket change for any endgame character, yes? Still, a week of discounted respecs after each major change would probably be appreciated by some...I understand why they don't do the forced respec anymore, but a cheaper respec would be nice.
I was rather counting on a sale on respecs (for gold) after the patch. I don't expect free, but a discount would be much appreciated, especially since Homestead encourages us to spend our reserves on other things..
