We've only said we won't reset your SP to 0. We haven't said anything about not refunding your SP and allowing you to respec. That option is still on the table prior to release if we feel it will be worthwhile.

That's been stickied since it was posted... nearly a couple weeks ago.
It's also been discussed a whole lot since.


But, thanks for the breaking news, brah.

way to COMPLETELY miss the point OP.

He didn't miss the point. CCP clearly had to make a sticky thread about it because so many people kept demanding SP resets for commercial release. Sadly enough a lot of people seem to be ignoring that. God, this is just like how everyone was talking about the weekly SP cap many months ago, a week-long vote was made, and now... a few months later today... people are still asking why we have an SP cap at all. People don't seem to bother to search the forums or read the sticky threads anymore.

Pretty sure that sticky has nothing to do with refunds.

Well, technically, neither does this thread, which makes the OP correct, though through circular logic. Take a look at the title of the thread, he doesn't mention anything about refunds.

Of course, I think the OP meant to be talking about refunds rather than resets, but meh, here we are.

resets prior to open beta had refunds tied into them, so it was implied

I'm a little confused as to what were talking about here? They said no more SP resets barring some serious issue. I definitely see refunding all AUR as a significant enough reason to reset (not reallocate) SP. Unless I'm reading this wrong.

Assuming 3 merc packs, that's 60 bucks that CCP would just be giving away, sounds pretty serious to me.

They would not being "giving away" 3 Merc Packs, they would be fulfilling the purchase agreement of 3 Merc Packs awarded at launch. Quite a big difference. You can't "give away" something that the person you are "giving it to" has already paid for. If they DON'T give a refund on the Merc Packs at launch they will be withholding a product that has been purchased and paid for by the customer.
