The problem with giving respecs away easily is because of the open power system. If respecs where cheap and easy then the open power selection would be meaningless. Right now players actually have to put some thought into power selection in order to make sure that everything works for the build that they are using.

But, whatever, I suspect that no matter what Cryptic does people will never like it. The complainers seem more interested in spewing hate at them as if Cryptic stole their virginity and their birthday all in one blow.
