Skill points ALL GONE after update!

RSram✭✭✭✭✭Here are some things that could be done to make the transition to the update more manageable.
1) Have an UNDO option.
2) Keep ALL THE CHANGED SKILLS IN PLACE and give the players the option to un-select or select the skill themselves.
3) Give the players a grace period to test the changes before they become permanent; If the players don't like the skills they should be allowed to change them for free during the grace period.
4) Show the changes to the skill when the player hovers the mouse or clicks on the skill icon. This allows the player to compare the before and after changes. Yes I know that players and read the update notes, but that's old school MMO; it's 2015 and time to think outside the box!
Here's a screen shot of just implementing suggestions 1 and 2. The skills that have been highlighted in yellow are those that have been changed in the update.

That seems to be the standard for most impatient children these days.
A long time is the two months they've been warning us about it on the forum and in the launcher, plus the year or so it's been standard that when there's major changes we get skill point resets.0 -

✭Its not the first time it happened, it wont be the last. They do them when they release updates they feel change mechanics of combat/skills drastically enough that players might want to respec to befit the new update. Ive always liked them personally, its a free reset to try new morphs, compared to having to go to the respec shrine, which can get pricey after you get a lot of skill points.0 -

Not to mention the notification you receive when you log in that all your skills have been reset. At least that's the case with the PC version, no idea about consoles. You can't do anything until you've closed the notification window, and it's no-one else's fault if you close it without bothering to read it.1 -

I disagree. Not all the players are visiting the forum.
And not all the forum visitors have read the thread.
There are other solutions available to warn all the people. What about a simple in-game mail?
And it was even better to give the players a choice to reset or not. Maybe with some scroll or page that you could use just 1 time.
Then you should have 3 options with such 'Skill Reset'-page:- Use it asap
- Keep it in your inventory and use it later
- Sell it in the Guild Store or give it to a friend
