What about players who dropped cash to get the right armor set they wanted? Socketed Rank 8-10 Enchants or Tenebrous? There are a couple GF in my guild who are furious now because their entire build/concept/spec just went to <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>.

Is this their first MMO? you get balance patches all the time and thinking that 1 build will always be the most viable is niave.
I've played MMOs for long enough to know that if a build seems awesome and powerful then it will get hit with the old nerf bat at somepoint.
Yah, stalwart users need to be able to remove there enchantments. Many players have spent alot of time and money putting high lvl enchants into the armor. As long as those players can remove there enchants free of charge then i see no issue.
Yeah, it sucks when it's your own character that's affected, but I haven't encountered a single MMO/multiplayer game that hasn't had some major build changes/nerfs/balancing tweaks or whatever your choice of term may be, sometimes even years later. It's just ... kinda the way it goes. No one tied anyone to a chair and physically tortured anyone to pay real cash to equip a chr...not even a subscription fee.
So to repeat: yeah, it sucks at times. But MMO's ... that's kinda their thing, it seems. Would be nice to have another freebie respec, tho.
That's the risk you take, any experienced MMO player knows that sooner or later every piece of top tier gear now will be outclassed by new gear or nerfed. If they want to spend real money pimping their gear out, then they know that one day their money will be wasted.
Exactly it. MMOs change. Sometimes, your build will be tossed and you will have to relearn your class just going from patch to patch to patch.
Gear also progresses over time, so all that money those people are spending on that current top build will eventually be money for a build that is no longer viable.
It's the nature of MMOs, and always has been since the late 1990s.
Yes but your friends are stupid for spending a dime on the game in the first place. They do know its a F2P model game, they got sucked into spending cash just like most people did. Its how a f2p game makes way more money then a subscription game does. Well they make more money as persay a subgame with lower player numbers. I person willing to spend money on a f2p game ends up spending way more per month then a sub-game takes in. This is why more and more people are staying away from the f2p model games.

This was brought up today internally. A decision was not yet reached but it is still being decided for sure. Sorry I don't have a more definitive answer at the moment.
On a side note Im kind of chuckling about the TR ending up getting the one nerf where last month everyone thought it would be the new ubergimp class. Just complain where it counts - pw is VERY maleable in regards to feedback so I wouldn't fret.
Very insightful post.
The key point is that in an MMO things change, but when you can turn real money into game currency and then buy items, it feels more of a shock when they get rebalanced than in an MMO where you can only earn better items by playing the game.
Sorry for who spent money, but as said, that's normal mechanics. The games change for balancing (more or less..) . Some things are to be lost , some not.
Will we receive respec tokens as last time?
Nothing has been said yet, which means no. They're not too pricey, so feel free to break out your wallet or convert AD to Zen.

I just don't believe the game is good enough value or DnD enough for me to fork out money. Maybe I am no economy expert and maybe the prices that would tempt me would be too cheap for the hardcore farmers. But a 15% offer won't even make my pocket twitch, let alone my wallet. AD are open to some debate, but Zen items 'cost' twice as much as they should in my opinion.

Last time they gave out the free respec it didn't stack with the one that the people who bought the hero of the north pack or whatever the thing was called.
We all need one. Will we get one?
You seem to forget a lot of mmo's don't have enchantments that cost huge amounts of money to de-socket either. The money grubbers at PW will take every chance they can get to fleece their flock as much and as often as possible. It's a great business model for investors and a terrible model for players....

Please don't insult people who pay for the game you play for free.
Gear is always outdated at some point anyway, via T3 or a nerf. That's expected. It happens all the time, and every update will do this kind of things.
I'm still waiting for an official statement about a free token respec. Well, they better give one, because a lot of people will be upset if they don't. Mega nerfs like this always require build changes. I have to take back benefit of foresight on my cleric, for instance.
