I strongly urge everyone to re-examine the need to keep this game mechanic married to team only content.

I still don't understand why people even consider a respec to be such a major deal. It's not a change of AT, or even a chance to change primary and/or secondary powersets. It's just a way to rebalance our preselected powers and slots.
It should be treated the same way that costume changes are. Since we are "known" for our powers, any changes to them should cost Influence, and the price should increase with level.
We should be able to go to any Hero Corps. Training Center and adjust our skills whenever we need to, provided we can afford it.
The developers are given an infinite number of chances to make any change to powers they feel is necessary. Influence is overly abundant at higher levels (or so I am told. I'm still a poor L41

). Power adjustment would be a VERY effective influence sink if priced right, and does not discriminate against any playstyle (except for a monk with a vow of poverty, perhaps

).
Player advancement should come in many flavors: solo, group, task force, super group.
Player adjustment should not be tied to advancement, IMHO.
