Hi,
I agree with that in the release. But, as I pointed out elsewhere, there are two good reasons for letting talents be swapped around in the beta. First is the impermanence of what the talents do. As some are nerfed, others become more desirable. It is unfair to penalize someone for choices made when the outcome of the choice is changed after the fact. Second is that the beta period is simply too short for people to test all possible combinations of talents at all possible levels. There just isn't enough time to build that many high level characters.
I think the "for beta only" solution is fine. I'd rather just have a button on the talents pane that just resets all allocated points to zero and puts them all back into the pool. But hunting down yet another NPC in the godawful lagged to hell cities will probably still be workable.
