Rogues doing a respec granted Trickster early

As always, apologies if this has been brought up before. I did a search and didn't find anything related on search.

If you respec during your 'Countdown to Duplicity' period as a Rogue (that is the 7 days you have to hold the alignment for the badge), upon finishing the respec you will be granted the Duplicity power (PBAoE Confuse) and the Trickster badge, regardless of how few days you've actually held the alignment. (My Dom had held it about 5 days, my MM about 4.)

I have /bugged this.

I assume this behaviour is the same for those in transition to any alignment, but have only encountered it on two Rogues thus far. (They're the only respecs I've done recently.)

I heard chatter on Global Channels to this effect too. It appears to be across all alignments.

You will also get it if you use the trainer to swap your active builds.

Technically, this is an exploit.. so it shouldn't be listed on the forums. As long as you /bugged it, you've done your job for now.

Yeah. How dare you post this information. Don't you know how powerful those powers are? People will be able to get them a week sooner, and it will crash the servers from everyone powerleveling to 50 with them and soloing AVs.
