The cost of respeccing

Is it possible to have a fairly cheap cost to respecc be implemented? This is honestly one of the few QoL features post vanilla that I don't think anyone would mind. It will be a drag to waste money switching back and forth between specs and dumping a lot of gold for nothing.

This wont happens.

It is all about Nostalrius Begins policy: blizz-like vanilla.

"Blizz-like" actually allows some adaptation, like choosing the version of a dunjeon or BG to be earlier to 1.12 for example.
But changes that occurred at Burning Crusade or after will for sure never be implemented.

And also, we are a lot of player actually enjoying the high respec cost. It gives a sense to a lot of specs. Pure PVE HL players will go for a PVE raid optimized spec, and sacrifice efficiency in PvP. Casual players can go for mixed specs, that is ok for raids, PvP and farming. This respec cost is what brings a lot of diversity in vanilla :)

Kronos will have this, i am totaly against it here because it isn't blizzlike and will make an money influence over time. Also PvP Players have a little advantage in PvP because of Spec, same goes for PvE.
Some Specs like Boomkin, Feral, Enhancer or Shadow Priest will have his Niche Spot, otherwise everyone can be Shadow Priest and this isn't fun for them.

If you want Quality of Life wait for Kronos, they have a 10g Respec Cap.
Nostalrius is about clostest Vanilla Experience, so Respec Cap is at 50g as it should be.
