Hi all, I'm new to the forums, but have been a loyal player for many years. Now I'm opposed to a "Full" respec, but I think the ability to change your primary or secondary wouldn't be that bad. For instance, I have a level 40 robotics/devices MM. Now after playing him for a long time, I realize how much I would rather have the Pain domination set, which was introduced after I had created my character originaly. Now I know what you are all going to say, "Just remake him." Now I would do that but I also have some very specific badges on him, specificaly the Rikti Invasion badges that gives me access to a very slick looking Rikti blaster for my robotics set. Now I understand the basics of what you all are saying, and the possible downfalls of such a system, but I worked long and hard on this character and would recreate him, but I would not be able to get this badge again, and thus, not get this blaster for my character, seeing as the Rikti invasions no longer happen. Now on top of that, I Have a full time third shift job, and work hard at my job to make money to get a slick computer to play this awesome game and other MMO's, and I simply don't have the amount of time to spend on making new characters like all these unemployed people who do nothing but play on their computers all day. Bottom line is it would be nice to have a one time per character option to change your primary or secondary powerset, or if you choose to recreate the character, have the cool weapons and other costume extras transfer over some how. Now please don't chew me all to hell over this, I'm just giving my two cents.
P.S. If a dev reads this post, please consider the rammifications of my point of view, I'm sure I'm not the only one in this type of position, and if you want to keep people from exploiting this, put a 30 day trial period with the powerset respec where they would have the time to thouroughly test out the new powerset and if doesn't work for them, simply give them the option to chance it back to the original set. Just food for thought.
