Actually Seth, there is a way to make a bet on the forums.
Atrumentis made an official betting thread a while back, it never saw much use though :(.
Might still be active, you should check it out :D.

.... Most people here agree with respeccing dude.
Just look through the thread, do you not remember that argument early on when damn near everyone went against you?
I'm for respecs, by the way.

Its not hard for a legit player to make wealth now. Like I said previously, rush for forges, get runes, or lead pub chaos runs for drops. Whats going to suck, is when these two services are no longer needed due to lack of new characters that need them. In fact, its not even just noobs that need them, as currently there are a lot of awesome pvp builds which arent all that great at pvm that generally rely on other characters to efficiently level them. They work both ways, I've benefited from being rushed/power leveled as well as rushing/power leveling. In fact I've heard far more complaints about how hard it is to get top end gear then how its too easy, so any change thats going to hurt and slow down legit players even more is totally ridiculous.
Total grief style man. All you have to do is place level restrictions on your pub games, or make them passworded, and it grants you immunity to any grief style PKing you do not wish to encounter. I can understand how people who do not know how to play this game and have probably never built a good pvp character can really hate pvp, but accusing me of being a crybaby when you whine about one of the most awesome PK systems around is lame. At least whine about tppk or tmc'ers. If I join a game and hostile your group you have plenty of time to plan a strategy to get me before I get to you, or to leave the game before I get there. Whats the total loss on here to getting PK'd, some worthless gold and the 10 seconds it takes to join a new game and click on your corpse? Oh my god so horrible lets just remove pvp on this game altogether.
It's hard for legit players to make wealth now because of all the hackers, and all the paysites. If anything, this should HELP legit players, since they can now use one character for a multitude of roles.
Recall a thing called low level duelers?
I can't count how many douchebags I've had in my games with a character lower than mine, or even the same level, murdering my entire party just to scream "N00BZ" in our faces. It's that kind of immature crap that needs to go. If you want to feel good about yourself, don't rely on a game, rely on a thing commonly referred to as real life.

Waaaah, I can't make l00tz rushing pplz to 80 in 15 minutes
Exactly. That's half the point. Now return to the cesspools you scurried out of.
I completely agree.
Was close to posting something similar, but decided to stay out of this argument.
Theres some serious flames brewing, didn't want to get caught up in em.
... But screw it, might as well hop on board.
The loot thing is a complete contradiction in itself, if you think about it. They complain about not being able to make wealth fast, then go on to complain about how skill respecs will make things go to quickly.

*nods*
Low tier skills were completely abandoned, only being used for synergies.
With respecs, we'll finally be able to use them without being punished, and we'll be able to experiment more freely.
And as for the "no struggle" complaints... obviously it will be balanced, I would hope so anyways. I know I'm going to miss that struggle as well, but if they balance it correctly and don't allowe skill points to be rolled too frequently, I'll welcome it.

Agreed, I hate to use the "Just don't use it" argument, but it applies completely here.
If people want to make multiple characters, there is nothing stopping them.

Aha !
Fantastic find man, hopefully this means we'll be getting more info on the patch soon.
About re-specs, I'm all for them.
D2 really needs to move forwards and make some good changes, this being one of them.

It really doesn't kill class customization, at all.
If anything, it promotes it since you can tweak your build to find your preferred one, and stick with it.
No longer having to choose the pre-defined good builds, since experimentation won't be as punishing, both in overall cost, and in time.
edit: FUCK !
Dimebog, accidently just took rep points away from you.
I'll see if any of the mods can fix that...

I agree with you 100%, partial respecs > full respecs.
