Then calm down and listen to what we're trying to tell you.
The Devs have been on record a number of times stating that you'll never be able to use a respec or any other tool to switch from one powerset to another on the same character.
The content in this game is from level 1-50, with very little to do once you get to level 50 that can't be done before that. If you're getting PLed up to 50, you're likely going to get bored and leave. We're trying to tell you that yes, despite having fewer powers to utilize, you're missing out on the actual game by just being PLed to level 50.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Better than being sent to a hospital or have no revives on you. i picked tornado for the heck of it but when i came and hit the idea to how to kill a red name i used that skill and my pets to do the attacks wile i have endurance to keep the tornado on. And fly, now fly is vary useful in mercy island to get over those giant walls now is it? better than running far out to find a door huh? and the missions you go to is so close to the walls its not easy going to point a to point b by foot. Thats when fly comes in to help you.

What the hell does all this even mean, and what does it have to do with respecs?
It's like some sort of stream of conscious gibberish. Fly for Mercy Isle? Endurance needed to keep Tornado running? Killing "red names"?
I'm beyond perplexed and now wallowing in a pool of complete incomprehension.

The Tornado thingy I think I've got, being that the OP has Whirlwind, and keeps that on. So he has Flight and Super Speed for some reason.

Farm is not completely bad or forbidden. Once you gain that TF and alpha slot you cant return it you know. once they get it thats it for that no way to give it back. Once a person farms they wont gain xp but infamy and prestige, besides the prestige to buy stuff for a base is extreme so whats wrong about farming prestige to expand your base or gain infamy to try out new costumes they release.

hey it was Forbin_Project (his/her) idea telling me that if i farm i have no skills or how to play. i had to say it i can't ignore it and let Forbin_Project get away with it now would i?|

Forbin_Project dose not understand that i know how to play and have skills whatever i farm or not. Farm is good anyways to build your base who in the world wan'ts a base thats a cube and just a teleporter inside.

Nothing is wrong with that, if that's all you want to do. But you can do both of those things on the way TO level 50, as well.

No I didn't. Here's what I actually said.

Your only hurting yourself by letting other people play the game for you. People that rely on others to powerlevel them never learn how to play the game |
That was about power leveling not farming.
Edit: A person can be power leveled all the way up to 50 and never once step foot in another players farm.

All i wanted is help from the respec. Why should i even pay millions infamy to get a respec if it dose not do what i wanted it to do or even if i do get it for free at level 40. If it dose not do what i want it to i don't have to use it. i can even just destroy my super group and my char and move my name if my char and super group name over to a new char. Since when bring respec inst help? what you guys got a problem with that word or bring it up? i bet no one buys it or use it because it leaves a faint sint in the air that it can't do what it you wan't it too. or what Forbin_Project said about the dev cant give it to you that no one want to speak about it.|

Since it cant do what it cant do then i have no need to grab it or use it unless i needed it too for healing and revive myself abilitys.
I considered not stepping into this but decided I had to.
My understanding is that you very much enjoy the MasterMind ATs as well whatever secondary you chose (sounds like Storm) but are unsatisfied with your choice of pets.
I can understand that, not everyone likes the same pets. No you will not be able to choose a new set of pets for your current character (ever) and your only option is to recreate from level 1.
If you are concerned about giving up the SG you have joined, along with the base you are enjoying, don't be. Just contact one of the leaders and let them know you have an Alt you would like to bring into the group. Most people will gleefully do it As simple as that.
If a swarm of high level baddies is killing you in a second I suggest that you might of increased your difficulty level too much. As has been mentioned not every combination can solo giant mobs all the way from 1 to 50 but these same ones can do other neat things.
Play with your difficulty settings and you will find the right combination for you. Occasionally you will come across a group that will devestate you even at the new settings. Thats part of the game. You can't be awesome versus everything all of the time.
You made a comment about AE and how it was designed for Farming. Well in all actuallity that isn't true.
Granted that is what the AE system has more or less devolved into the idea of it was to allow players to create STORIES for other players to enjoy. There are a good number of writers and there work being enjoyed still being enjoyed. Wander down to the Mission Architect Forum to find some fantastic arcs.
Besides I really think people are farming Tip missions for the merits. That would make sense to me.
You made a comment somewhere about not wanting to waste a slot on Freedom by remaking your villian. There are a lot of slots there, twelve if I recall correctly. There are a lot of servers as well, each with their own personalities.
Not sure if any of that helps at all but I felt the need tot try. We all love the City and it makes us sad to see a new player not enjoy it to the fullest.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy your stay,

Do like some of the options but a lot of them are "Yeah, that's nice, but if only they had tweaked it to work like this instead".

even though you won't reply because you wont want to bud in thanks for the tip. And im in the leader of a super group. Sure theres a lot of slots i only choose freedom because it has the most people than it was when i was in justice server.

Again, you don't need to pay millions to get the respec. You can run the Trial which takes maybe an hour to do.
There are ways to recreate a character without destroying your SG, you know.
And yes, the devs won't let you do what you want to do, for good reason, I think. Just because you want it isn't a good enough reason to add something like that. I will gladly speak to you about performing respecs, or even recreating characters, as I have been doing. However, I'm going to tell you the truth, even if it doesn't side with you.
I understand that English may not be your first language, but a lot of your posts make very little sense. A lack of grammar, punctuation, and decent spelling in a written medium lead to confusing posts. Don't get mad at others when they can't understand you when you write like that.

I see what you're saying, but I must admit I'm still pleased with what it's given me. I've been able to give a lot of my costumes a much needed tweak that brings them closer to what I envisioned.

[QUOTE=RathSphere404;3301984. And im in the leader of a super group. .[/QUOTE]
OK as the leader of a solo, more or less, SG I understand your problem.
There is a solution though.
All you need to do is ask someone to help you invite your alts into your SG. Be on your leader, invite the person to your SG, switch to your alt and be invited to your SG.
If your concerned that the person will take all of your stuff or modify your base while in the group just change the SG settings. You can also kick them out later on if you want.
If you are unable to find someone to do this for you send me a tell ingame and I will lend a hand.
My Global is @Bashful Banshee or just send a PM here and we can work something out I am sure.
Oh yeah, there are lots of us on Justice. Maybe not the overflowing groups of Freedom but we have a nice group of people.

Enjoy your day please.

If you want to pick any powers then you need to pay.
I could be wrong though.
