With the incoming rebalance is it now time to make Respec Tokens a free Commodity ?

As the title says, with the incoming rebalances to space and the tinkering of builds that will need be done, is it time to allow players the freedom of retraining their characters without a monetary transaction ?. Forget the usual token 1 free Respec they might give us.
Personally I think this should have always been the case as changing you're skill tree should be treated no different than equipping gear on a character or ship.

I do have a LTS. And yes I am assuming tooling builds will be ness.

Why not? I don't have to fork out money or grind for over a week in any other mmo just for a bloody respec...just make it cost basic currency like in any other MMO and make the cost scale after every respec just so people can't do it willy-nilly.
Ya, whenever they make serious changes to skills and powers they always give a free respec to everyone. Going on to Tribble is also a good idea WHENEVER you want to test a new respec. You're allowed to copy as many char as you want as many times as you want. As for permanently making it free, nah. I already think it doesnt make sense how we can decide if our capt is "stubborn" or not by changing traits whenever we want, dont think we need to add skills to that too. Besides, you can already buy a respec pretty easily by using the Dil exchange. So just earn enough Dil to buy a respec and then before you buy it try respecing on tribble first.
Anyone want to give me a Temporal Heavy Dreadnought pack? I'll be your friend

Also, what evilmark444 said.
Maybe we should ask for the EC charge to change costumes at the tailor be instated, or ship tailor, after all isn't the skill tree like these 2 a customization of your character ?, only problem is the most essential and important one is locked behind a paywall.
Anyway this thread isn't about changing player option it was to gauge player option about whether you felt the paywall for retraining should be knocked down. Each to their own option on this

I never said I'm happy about it, though as a LTS player I have a stockpile just like azrael. The simple fact is that if they didn't change it when they did the skill revamp then they aren't going to do it now either. STO is the only MMO I know of where respecs cost real world money, and I think that's something that found have been changed a very, very long time ago, but at this point anyone who thinks there's any remote chance of that ever happening is a fool.
Quite aside from the respecs I still have saved (which have rarely been used), the entire point of this rebalance is... balance. Granted, I think it's probably a pipe-dream: I have yet to see a game that has perfectly balanced all skills on all characters for all situations. That said, the changes in question aren't supposed to radically cripple or overpower any existing build, simply bring all builds more equivalent to each other. That being the expected (if not necessarily likely) case, there should be no reason TO respec. Just get over the slight learning curve of how your rebalanced characters play.
And as has been stated elsewhere, you're going to get a free respec per character, anyway, due to the nature of the update. The source of all those respecs I've never used, in fact. Spend them wisely, if you genuinely feel the need.
Then again, I think I still have toons that I haven't assigned any skillpoints at all after the revamp, so whatever. Game's too effin easy to care.
BTW, it's funny how many posters have answered the question "will they make respecs free" instead of what was actually asked.
