Suggestion: Time-Locked Respecs purchaseable for a large sum of Dilithium

So, hear me out on this.

With the Revamp on the horizon, how about adding a Re-spec that could be bought only once per a set period, like say every 2 weeks, and make it cost alot of dilithium, like somewhere around 30-35k?

The main motivation fo this suggestion is due to the fact that the Dilithium Exchange is still hyper-inflated by the multiple Dilithium Weekends and the lack of ZEN/Ship/etc sales to counter the inflation. This time-locked purchase would give F2P players, or players like myself whose RL Responsibilities make purchasing ZEN impossible an option to re-spec without having to delete characters.

    Hmm. I would have thought this would have had some traction.

    They could just make them tradeable on the player exchange...

    I'd rather they give us skill loadouts, two would be fine so that we can have two different skill sets per character and switch between them. So I could have a PVP and PVE load out or a DPS and tank load out for example.

    Cost measured in Dilithium has been put forward already, but I do like the possibility of time gating them as another way of encouraging the Devs to allow it.

    On the other hand maybe I should just gloat that Respecs are so painful... its about the only way running lots of alts is superior to piling all your effort (and genetic resequencers... grrr) onto the same singular character.

    I endorse this idea, if only because I'm tired of hearing so many people complaining about it recently... XD

    Most people suggest something like this without any kind of counter that would have a negative effect on the ZEN value. By locking out subsequent purchases by 2 weeks, the value would not be affected.

    300k at currents prices will buy 1K zen...so you basically want to make respecs cost DOUBLE what they currently cost

    great idea, genius​​
