Why not let them respec their whole character? Just give everyone one free chance to do that and make it impossible after that.

Exactly Anticrawl. The why is below, it has to do with monthly subbing, the longer it takes to fix your toon the longer you are forced pay. the clueless devs think continue to think this is the way to go.

Ok , read up folks, this is the the example in realtime how devs screw up constantly, they simply refuse to do as their PAYING customers say. If you wanted an axample of the whining (as the devs put it) we are all doing because of ignorant dev choices, this is a prime example of what they want verse what the paying consumer wants, the example in its glory and as ignorant as can be.

Who gives a squat devs, and how exactly are you helping?, your not paying for the game, in fact your jobs depend on keeping that sub. I'm sorry? you devs are independantly wealthy?

I understand now, you devs are still stuck on your "if the players have to redo a character they will have to pay to keep playing instead of getting insta fixed".

Devs your as ignorant as a lemming looking up that hill into sunshine, stupid as you ever were, still stuck on that pay-play-time model and you dont see the shear cliff, well you know its there, you just dont care. And we wonder why so many folks fail to sub to these games? A prime example of what not to do in progress.

Well I remember Guild Wars being perticularly punishing towards the endgame when you realized (OH FUCK, I picked a terrible combo) but that was for early adopters and really it didn't matter because well it had no subscription. However a subscription based model with 60-90 levels should allow atleast fresh-faced players during the first year of the game being out the chance to respec their entire character for free, just once. There is no reason to punish a paying customer who has been playing the game so long. Just silly is all, and to think it upsets other players says a lot about the typical MMO player.

@Graill, what is it with people and thinking that because you pay for something it should be tailored to what you want. If you pay $8 bucks for a movie, does that make you able to call the director and tell them you want more blood in it, oh yeah and don't use this actor I don't like her.

You are paying for a game because it is a large scale game and requires a team of people constantly monitoring, balancing, and maintain.

Don't get me wrong devs should listen to their players suggestions. But if you are shocked they arn't doing what you say don't get up on your soap box about that measley 15 bucks you give them, it lets you log on every day not call all the shots.

If you don't like it please please please just dont play, whiney people like you ruin games enough as it is. Where does everyone get this false sense of entitlement these days?
