I don't even understand your post. You uninstalled because you could not reach terror alone? Seriously?

Belladonnas drop by the truckload in high density areas. One Tcow run dropped me 4, and i was running solo, ergo i had no nodrop advantage. I can give you at least 30 off the top of my head i keep on mules, and i barely ever play at all now because real life unfortunately.

50h is literally nothing. You barely scratched the surface.

I will admit that for a solo player , especially a new one , the beginning can be very overwhelming. But result may differ from case to case. I've seen new players complaining that the mod is too hard, others that the mod could be harder. Theres a lot of polarization in this matter but it all boils down to the amount of hours put into it , which usually in those cases isnt enough to say the mod is hard or its too easy. (unless youre seeing it from a clod player's perspective)

Dont consider Ennead Challenge as the below lvl 80 -> jewel + cc. Consider it the either very few or a lot of runs you need to do on k3kBA until your specific class' CC drops. Again , i can understand where youre coming from with the "cheesing" of just getting a new character to cube it for you tho.

120 isnt the endgame by any means. Also , using xp pots to level isnt actually cheesing , i mean thats what they are for. But in anycase theres 5 more levels on top (if youre playing on realm i mean, although i will also grant you that it doesnt take that much time to reach 121 if you grind enough in a day)

I understand where many of your gripes come from , and i believe many of them will be adressed in Sigma. But coming to all of these conclusions in 50 hours of gameplay....just no. Im not trying to be rude or anything. But you should at least get to Destruction before putting your 2 cents, because thats where the game really begins. Playing in destruction i almost trip over belladonnas.

tbh its very hard to make an argument in favor of this, i personally hate farming for this respec, and those who dont need respec they just dont care about it. but they certainly dont say that this is the great feature of this patch that they have waited for

and i cant see the evidence on how it supposedly stops gg players from completing game early. like they go "oh no more respecs, guess we pack our things and give up"... on the contrary. look, mr malice did it even this ladder, the respec bs didnt help at all in his case. and the other folks only didnt complete everything early because the patch was bugged so void uber was not possible to complete for anyone. it was not because they were not able to respec, so there youre disproven

as far as i can see all the respec has done is given rise to complaints from those who it effects the most, which is not the gg players and marco is defending it based on what he believes and not on what is happening for the players of the game, because right now there is no indication that this is a positive thing, but if there is then show it dont just talk about your dreams

so far i cannot see anyone who has a strong argument how this is overall great, all i see is "its fine", "the drop rates arent so low".
if this is the best thing that can be said about it, then take away the tediousness of it and bring back ez respec...

How big of an impact would there be if you could adjust your character's stat points (but not skill points) on-the-fly? Like, you upgrade your TUs or make a really good Craft with flat stat bonuses, and suddenly the extra points you've put into stat x aren't needed anymore and would be better used if you put them into stat y. Seems like it might be a handy feature, especially early on, to avoid having to do a full respec. But IDK what sort of abuse such a thing could lead to.

Last thing I want to add, I can never play the early game as it is intended to be played, just because there is no point in doing so on the realm.
