I'd make respect cost 5000g minimum for Tactician (actually I would prefer to just NOT have respect available), prob 1000g for Easy mode.
At 100g, why not just have it for free? Or basically just have it on all the time, change your spec right before battles....who cares right? Don't like it don't use it as long as your having fun (sarcasm).

I wholeheartedly agree.
Regarding the "Don't like it, don't use it" argument, it seems to stem from a perspective held by those who might also advocate for keeping features like the Stealth Bonus in EA games, under the premise that one can't simply opt out of it. Similarly, they might argue that a bug capable of instantly defeating all enemies should remain in the game, using the "Don't like, don't use" rationale.

It appears that there are even individuals who hold the belief that the responsibility for improving the game doesn't necessarily lie with the developers, but rather with the players themselves. They contend that gamers should adapt and play with the existing elements without questioning or seeking adaptations.
Why do you and Turnipsome insist on claiming that people defending respec are also defending things they have no interest in? There is no magic build that can be tailored at each long rest that fundamentally cheeses every encounter, and if there were, it would be incredibly tedious to produce. Neither of you have addressed any actual defense of respec and have instead decided to claim that its defenders would also defend things like stealth bonus, god mode, and auto win. Address the actual arguments.
