So it still costs 50g to PvP

[Gnomageddon 0]

I remember awhile back we were asked by the Elysium team what could be done to improve PvP. A large portion of us suggested removing the respec costs, as this would allow the raidloggers, casuals etc to afford to spec back and forth between raid and PvP spec.

While reducing the respec costs by half has helped greatly, it still costs 50g to respec for PvP and then back to raid spec. For anyone who isn't able to play a whole lot, this drains the bank pretty quick.

Back in the Vanilla days, a lot of us were kids with no jobs, responsibilities etc. Sure it's not "Blizzlike" to erase respec costs, but everyone knows that respec costs were one of the most hated things in the game. Thus the reason Blizz came out with dual spec.

To get to the point - Please halp and remove respec costs so that we don't have to PvP in raid spec.

Respec costs were lowered to 25g a while back. Does it cost 50g for you?

[Thari 15]

We already lowered it to 25 gold max respec cost.

It won't be made lower or removed completly.

 

You can easily, with any class, farm well over 100 gold in a week even by casually playing

Some manage to do that within a day.

I actually am willing to bet that people that HAD it already at 50g weren't set to have their cost lowered to 25g - rather, the scripts changed only impacted any respecs that would have put them OVER 25g post change. (not to say this was intentional, but an oversight)

I MISREAD, I AM A YUGE DUMB CAT IGNORE THIS

But really, slashing the cost to 50g total FROM 100g prior is a pretty big change to the cost. You want it even lower?

It's 25g to spe to pvp and then 25g again to spec back to pve adding up to 50g.

 

getting 50g takes a whole hour

25g to go pvp spec, then 25g to go back.

Time spent farming = time not spent pvping

No worries. Just wanted to throw it out there.

Are you crying about a decreased respec cost being too high? Seriously...

Consider doing PvE with a pvp spec or pvp with a pve spec. Thats how most did it in Vanilla

Yea that's pretty much what I do. I use a spec that works ok for raiding, farming and pvp. Once I save up enough gold, then I'll spec into a good spec for what I'm doing then it's back to farming when I run out.

I'm most certainly thankful for the reduced respec costs. Was just curious how the rest of the community felt about removing it entirely. Doesn't sound like it's gonna happen though.

Having no cost to Respec is a really silly idea where only the benefits are analyzed, and not the consequences.

[Hudson 16]

Removing respec costs entirely would fundamentally change the reason behind having talent trees. That is not a change that we are interested in doing for our realms, as it would be a massive departure from the atmosphere of vanilla WoW.
