The issue with not having respecs is that you put blind faith in the devs. You have faith that the ability/trait/whatever is working as intended, balanced, and overall does what it sets out to do. Have you ever seen an MMO with perfect balance and everything works as intended? I sure haven't. And lets pretend the devs ever decide something is not balanced and need to change things. What if I suddenly don't like the change. Are you saying I'm SOL?

I'm sorry if I don't wish to be punished because of bad design on the dev's part. Respecs gives us an out to this. It gives us the ability to not be severely disappointed when we spend hours dedicated to a game just to realize the devs have let us down and designed something poorly or have decided to change something that we now dislike.

It also gives us the ability to change our mind. This is a game where you can be any class on a single character and suddenly you're against letting me change my mind? You people are absurd.

Now if Chocobo breeding will be the answer to respecs, then I'm all on board for that. It's both flavorful and friendly to its users.
