Can we please have an option to reset training points or is there some good
reason why this isn't implemented already? It seems like a big quality of life
feature that is missing. We can clear boons for gold,
please give us an option to reset training points, even if it costs task
points.

Regards

As useful as it might be, a quick look at the code involved shows this would
require a pretty dramatic rewrite of how stat points are saved -- enough to
make me cautious. I'd only really do this if there was MASSIVE need for such a
feature, which right now, there isn't.

I think the massive need would be for someone who mistakenly put the wrong
amount into a specific stat. When there is a specific cost to going through a
reinc, such as gold for guild levels and experience lost, it seems pretty
fitting this feauture would be a huge sigh of relief if you dump 15 extra stat
points that cost 500+ training points. Where I can certainly see from your
point of view of having to restructure how this data is saved and how it would
reset, this would be a one time fix that will have a benefit extended to many.
Maybe think from the perspective of a newbie who dumped too much into
Constitution because he needed more hps, later his skills improved with dodge,
he got better eq. Now he is left with a choice of reinc to get your stat
points back or deal with mediocre other stats for a year until your free reinc
comes along. Sorry for the long rant, I just wanted to throw in my
perspective. I can say I would have loved this to be possible when I made some
errors during reinc.

I did what I could, but the way data was stored, it is not possible to reset
training points earned so far. Only training points spent _after_ this post
can be refunded. The code is simply not back-compatible.

Awesome! Thank you, I'm sure this will help other OCD sufferers too.
