actually there are news about respec. patch 1.0 is on the testcenter and this is what the patchnotes say about respec:
Quote
Based on the number and depth of balance changes to skills in this update, certain characters will be provided a “respec token” that allows them to reassign their skill points. This token is automatically placed in the character’s inventory and can be used at any time.
All Evokers and Guardians will receive respec tokens, as will all characters in Subscription Member accounts.
