Please allow dual spec or cap respec costs.

Most of us are paying customers that wish to play a game on an even playing ground. Dual speccing puts people on an uneven playing ground, especially in PvP. Those that don't understand how dual specs are unfair in PvP are either ignorant or need an unfair advantage to succeed.

The point is that the only thing you're currently advocating for is tedium. The respec system isn't limited in any way but money. The basics of the system is in place, its just got some built in tedium.

I think that by majority the argument can be divided down these lines.

People who don't want dual specs are entirely focused on the endgame. This is why they keep making arguments like "Make alts!" These are likely the people who upon release powerleveled straight to 50 so they could experience the endgame content as fast as possible.

People who do want dual specs are more diverse but the majority of people who are actually stopping to savor the many great things Bioware has put for us to do between level 1 and 50 are mostly in favor of dual specs. That's because they realize that Bioware has filled this game with daily heroics and a flashpoint for people of prettymuch every level range but because of the lack of dual specs it takes awhile to build groups and a lot of people end up rolling with high level characters as fillers in their party just to experience the flashpoint, but doing so kills the a lot of the fun of the flashpoint.

Rolling more alts simply is not an answer to this because very few people keep all their alts around the same level.

Because of this, people are not using the flashpoints that Bioware put a lot of effort into as much as they would like to. I know I love flashpoints but if I roll as a tank I seem to find other tanks and 2 tanks in a party are useless, but then if I roll as something other than a tank we are always missing a tank. It takes so long to put groups together that I go do other content simply because I want to spend my time in-game actually playing the game.

Dual speccing would entirely solve this problem. Dual speccing is not prohibitive to role-play if you have any imagination (RPing that you switch to different sets of equipment or meditate on different aspects when you switch your specs like I spelled out in much greater detail earlier) and is prettymuch NEEDED if the content 1-50 is to be enjoyed the way it was meant to be.

Actually.. Dual Spec is so wrong....
Feels like cheating to me.
Or more like spoiling people who cant choose and want everything easy.

If you want to tank... roll a tank.
If you want to healer ... roll a healer.
etc..
Whats wrong with creating 3 chars?...

And if you dont want to roll 3 chars... then you have to pay for the privilege of not having to level up 2-3 chars.

Sounds normal to me.

There is a huge limit unless you are level 50 and have more money then you know what to do with. For people trying to do flashpoints, where dual speccing is most needed you are very limited because most of the people in that range can't afford to spend 100k to change their spec even once. So we only respec once a week. (Or not at all since once a week is mostly useless for meeting the needs of the party you want to help.)

Please don't post if you have no concept of the discussion. I'd say you're the one who's ignorant.

There is no need for Bioware to implement a dual spec. Simply because you want to level with a DPS tree but tank/heal in a flashpoint/heroic/etc. does not mean Bioware should give you dual spec. It means you should stop being lazy and level in your tank/healer spec. I have been doing it since level 10 and have zero problems leveling (am level 35 now).

There is no reason to have a dual spec because you want to get through content faster as well as get into groups faster.
