I feel for everyone who has to respec at 33 or 34. Harsh times when you have to start fresh at level 32 or 33. I can't imagine the mental anguish.
Says someone who have used respec 800 times at level 30/31. You're in no position to comment on this
at all. You're weak, sorry buddy.
Honestly, in this regard you are. You'll suffer the same fate eventually as Lezard and Siiem exactly due to that. You're just looking for a "challenge" to argue and as you know normally I would be happy to accompany your needs so you won't wither away, but this time it'll be just explaining the point below - leaving you with the last word which I am sure you will want.
The point is that people are investing time into their characters, following the parameters of the game, set for them by the developers, but when those parameters change absolutely nothing is done to help those players.
Why should people be punished for choices made within the game design presented to them, changes players are not warned about prior to (claiming beta does not cut it after so long time).
I'm all for perma death, losing items, all that, extreme consequences where countless hours spent will be lost, but that has never been said, presented or written anywhere here, nor would it make any sense to label 31+ game-play in any regards to that.
