Upper right corner of the screen shows the current level you would be if this was a level-up, meaning it shows as one level lower than the level of the powers you're picking/slots being placed.|

As things stand right now, I would rather delete a toon than respec it, which is exactly what I have done now for about three years.

Personally I'd love to see them turn respeccing into a powerset-locked version of Mids' 'Dynamic' mode, but I doubt they'd want to copy it so blatantly.
As for Powerset Respecs? That's what alts are for.

I think I said that a few posts back, but thanks for the other info. Good to know. I never saw any mention of it changing in the patch notes, so I didn't know they listed the levels now.

Well, you guys talked me into deleting my Shields/mace tanker at level 43. Good job.

YOU don't think. Judging from the amount of requests we see for dynamic respecs, I think your thought might be wrong. | I just don't think enough people really want this to justify the time to do the programming |
We have been told "ABSOLUTELY AT NO TIME, EVER, NEVER!" on the following issues:
*transferring loot to ourselves
*power customization
*switching factions
*merged markets
*and I think server transfers
...and all of those came to pass, so pardon me if I take your caveat with a grain of salt. On second thought, I'll just move the Tank to a new server and wait.

Well, let me see. I'll start this by first saying I have seen a lot of the same people asking for Power Set Respecs, not a lot of people asking for them. But that may just be me. I stated before that the companies model for this game is get a toon to 50, then make an alt. That has been stated many times now. It MAY be changing since they are coming out with the Incarnates System, but we'll have to wait and see.|

As for those items you listed, most of them were not said "Absolutely Not" going to happen. Most were said, basically, "probably not" or "not on the radar". For instance:
Power Customization - listed as would like too, but probably not due to coding issues.
Switching Factions - they wanted to do this since CoV first came out and it took until now to happen.
Market Mergers - listed as a "probably not" because of the price imbalance between the red and blue markets. Switching Factions later made this absolutely necessary.
As for Loot Transfers and Server Transfers, I don't remember what was said about them, nor do I care. You are absolutely right to take my opinion on this matter with a grain of salt though. Just keep in mind that it is based in what was actually said, not on how I interpreted what they said.
Better respec system? The current one is horrible, clunky wreck. I think that alone is excuse enough to give it an overhaul to make the process less painful.
And that way people whining about x,y and z changes have one less leg to stand on, namely 'But respeccing is horrible!'
