I finally bumped into a squad mate that I haven't seen in months.
Besides Dust being boring he said he isn't coming back to a game that removes the worth of the skills he pushed to get. Ran as a Heavy, loved it and quit when he had less range than a shotgun. Ah yes, I remember those days. They sucked. Much like the way I am dreading 1.8 and its major fix* for everything that isn't a vehicle. All without refunding SP, at least nothing that has been announced, hinted at nor blogged about.
Here is his last paragraph to me:
Do I regret my time with Dust? I truly donGÇÖt. It was a really cool concept with a few well thought out mechanics. I met several good friends through it and learned many things. What else did I learn? If you ever make a new, interesting game that relies on a long-term investment and loyal customers, try not to screw them over.
* Note that to increase the air flow and thus the vacuum at a point you can restrict it. Odd thing that. 
And so it goes.

Nocturnal Soul wrote:Wow it actually hurts me to see a heavy go. Maybe when the game gets good he'll pop up again. He ain't coming back. Sick of dust and getting yanked around. He has found another game. So ... gone. I have ~25% of the players I used to squad with. And most of them only play a little bit now and then. Versus capping out each week and playing matches to get their 1500SP per battle.
And so it goes.

The only reason I play is because I still have some friends that play. That is the only reason to play Dust, cause everything it is supposed to be is still fundamentally broken. An FPS where guns don't always shoot, has horrible hit detection, significant lag, slow network architecture designed around a point and click space pirate game with the final caveat that they expect you to play for 7 years to fill out the Skill Tree.
So they can yank it out from under you. Fun guys.
Remember that corporate motto is HTFU. Which means Hose The F*ing Users.
And so it goes.

We don't know one way or another if we are getting an SP refund. Don't count it out just yet.
... snip ...
I think your friend is over exaggerating his frustration a little... SP reset/refund rumors are just hot air until there is an official posted on the web site, not just an IRC comment, nor a Tweet from some random twit. Until then ... it is a waste of bandwidth.
On his frustration being exaggerated: Really? He isn't playing. He has FPSs to play that work.
I love the fact that the most consistent stick with Dust suggestion is to play a different game. 
And so it goes.
