I've considered rewarding 10 crystals per "virgin" boss kill. So that's an idea. It's still early, so hang in there

I think it's best if the player can choose skill reset to cost gold or crystals. (either a large sum of gold or a small sum of crystals). Or unlock skill resets for a one-time crystal fee. Crystals for resets seems too "money-grab" for me and punishes player for experimenting.

Fine. I'll remove it.

FWIW, I don't think pay-to-respec is unreasonable for a free-to-play game with no pay-to-win components.
Maybe as long as there's, say, one respec per difficulty level achieved...or per 25 levels...or something like that.
You have to monetize *something*.

It seems like people are figuring out how to power-level chars in a few hours...not sure you should get 10 crystals per virgin kill per char...maybe per account?

I'll try to come up with ways to monetize that aren't required parts of the game. I think future stuff like mailboxes and trading/auction house will cause less chafing. I also considered charging per account to enable chat. That would keep spammers out, too.

But respecs aren't required, especially if there's a way to get a very limited number of free ones.

I can see added features like that being extra. Especially for a game like this. New Classes, New Races, etc. etc. I could all see being monetized. _________________-- Creator of the Unofficial Nevergrind Wiki Tool http://www.unofficialnevergrindwikitool.com/Warlock Corpse -Dark Elf Necromancer

I've never heard of a f2p game where the cash shop currency is so easily farmed. Why would anybody buy crystals? Players "putting time into the game" doesn't defray the costs of an ISP, server, artists, etc.
