The respec feature is there as a failsafe in case you make a mistake developing your character. It is not intended to be a feature used on a regular basis and the increasing cost is there to discourage that.

Welcome to vanilla, no they won’t change things that were in vanilla back then. And that’s good, if they change one thing, players will “demand” a change to another thing.
Keep it as it is, it was the catering to silly demands that ruined retail.
Min maxing wasn’t a thing back then the way it is now I guess. Choose a play style and not the best in terms of numbers. Choose a playstyle that you enjoy playing no matter what and stick with it. That was the spirit. Min maxing is bad anyway for player interaction
Once DM is out every ranged class will be able to solo tribute run. And mages will aoe farm DME for tons of gold. 50g for respec is nothing really.
It’s not slightly worse, it is complete garbage outside raids. 31/0/20 can’t aoe farm, it’s worse at single target grinding, and it’s basically unplayable in pvp. I got ganked by a level 55 warlock the other day when I was running around herbing, I just couldn’t do anything about it.
My main was a warrior, I’d love to raid, as both tank and DPS depending on what’s needed on a given night. There are limited tank slots, so what should I spec as? If I commit to tank, I’m useless outside of instances. If I go DPS, I can’t be in the tank rotation. Guess what I did? I rolled warlock, so now there’s one less tank in a game that is already short on tanks. Enjoy your healthy game economy now.
lmfao nice necro, kid.
fury is the best dps and tank spec in the game at the same time.
lower respec cost greatly benefit those that already play the game way more than others and certain classes like mages. the high respec cost is a really poor way to balance the game, both benefiting casuals that can optimize their spec for what they focus around and discouraging tryhards from respeccing mortal strike between raids.
Economy is my most fun challenge. I’m poor and trying to make me rich lol. And you want to ruin for me Classic gaming experience.
no changes
Not sure if someone mentioned this,but the cost resets to 5g after a month not using it?
In my opinion Respec should cost more. This is important rp part and like in real life we can’t change our talents. But in-game, of course, we can to have a chance to fix our mistakes. I think that the optimal price of talents resetting cap is 250g, but unfortunately everybody can change it each time when he wants.

I agree the cost should be lowered. If the game only consisted of dps classes I’d be more willing to agree. I play tank and it actively sucks when you’re not raiding or tanking as it takes so much longer to do everything.
If I want to make my life easier to farm gold I need to drop 100G to go dps then back to tank after. There’s a lot of good arguments why the removal of conviences in classic is good for gameplay but wanting to play tank/healer is such a sacrifice to the rest of your playtime. That’s not good gamedesign, there should be a penalty for respecing, I think 25G is fairer
Your “friends” are worthless.
C’Thun will whisper you some sound information if you can last that long.
Here are some that appear to apply.
“Your courage will fail.”
“Your friends will abandon you.”
“You will betray your friends.”
“You are weak.”
“You are weak.”
However much I wish respecc was cheaper, or at least start out lower, this is how vanilla was and I have to live with my misplaced talent point for now.
prot specc is currentl worse than arms/fury for everything anyway
I’m with OP on this, 25g seems like a fair cap. If it had been capped around 25g in vanilla, do you really think people would be crying out for it to be raised…? It’s just a massive pain for hybrid classes. It also discourages casual experimentation with different builds.
I think cost is alright for high levels, problem is for low levels , prices are just ridiculous, it impossible to respec after 1 time if you do not want to be broke.
Isn’t it like 10silver at low levels.

Levels have nothing to do with price, it increases after every respec.
Well if you have respec that much during levelling, that is just bad planning.

Respec cost starts at 1g and goes from there.
On a fresh realm you can raise 1g from questing/vendoring by lvl 14-15.
It’s even easier now that the economy has matured and inflation from exp to gold conversion at 60 has kicked in.
At low levels it’s fine, at higher levels I would make it even more prohibitive.
