I can understand that. What I do is if it's not worth(more than likely it's not) I just don't bother playing that toon or in general if I really just wanted to play that type of build. Very rarely do I respec my toons, and when I do I play them for about 3 days, then back to hibernating/RL
That's pretty much why I stopped playing was due to it didn't take more than a few weeks, at most, and I was sitting in the Powerhouse again, preparing to play, instead of actually playing which is what I logged on for. That, and, I spent a lot of time on my builds (not that they are so uber, they just took me a long time!).. and I was getting tired of seeing that effort wiped out due to things constantly weren't working like I built them to work when I would log in.
It all boils down to I was getting really... mad, frustrated, and other not good things when I logged on and then one day I was like "does it hurt when you hit yourself? why are you still hitting yourself?" And then I tried STO and it sucked me in.
I started using the CO Trade channel in STO and they took that privilege right away.. You can't talk in Trade from STO anymore. I hesitate to even mention that you can Read Trade due to I'd rather not see that function poof, too. It's nice to be able to kinda keep up on at least part of the vibe.
