I understood from twitter co-founder comment that respect will be introduced, but it will be costly, the reason is to still have people think twice about their choices, well guess what:
We are already doing it throughout gear upgrade by putting our resources in the gear we want to use !
So please do not limit our possibilities to put points into a required stats to try outa new gear in order for us to assess if we want to put effort/resources and time to upgrade it.
Our choice making exercise and challenge is already covered with gear upgrades.
Please do not seal our faith by adding another layer here.
