Hero ATs earning red-side Respec badges

Currently, you can only earn 3 of the Trial Respecs, regardless which side you are on or what combination you run them. For example, you can earn the first one on Heroside (and get the first Hero badge), then get the second and third ones on Villainside (and earn the 2nd and third villain badges), and you wont be able to earn any of the others.
Hi,
it is a shame that in this case, the award of a badge is dependant on the award of a Respec ie the award of a reward choice, and not just dependant on the successful completion of the trial

my main has 5 of the 6 as well, so im kinda SoL on the first hero respec badge since im a villain badger
the way i got myself 2 of the 3 hero respec badges was because i had not used the respec tokens from the 2nd and 3rd villain respecs so when i was a full hero i respec my 2nd build and i got 1 then i tried again and it gave me the other
i couldnt get the first hero respec badge because i had used the first villain respec token i had earned, and im basically SoL on the badge until they figure out a fix for this

I think my main badge hunter (Loth) is in almost the same exact situation Necrotech_Master is in. She used the respec token from the first hero respec trial years ago but has since held onto the last two. This would mean (apparently) that she could try for the 2nd and 3rd villain respecs and actually get the badges for them.
I would hope the Devs resolve this situation one way or the other ASAP. I'd hate to think my ability to get 3 badges rests on whether or not I chose to use certain respec tokens 5+ years ago.
Ideally they'd figure out a way to let anyone eventually get all 6 respec badges regardless if the related respec tokens have been used or not.

Hi,
well this is really interesting as my main badger who has all 3 blue side respec badges has never been respeced. So does this mean I should be able to get all 6 badges?
I am off to jolly well try!

It's interesting that there seems to be a flaw that allows more than that. Personally, I think they should just allow us to claim all 6 respecs anyway. What would it hurt? lol

your best shot at this is as a full villain for a hero badger go to arbiter lupin and respec, i used my 2nd build because i never used my 2nd build before|

i actually found this out from someone else who did a respec and got a badge, and i used my 2nd build to test the theory with the respec badges (i burned like 4 respecs to test this lol)

Now that we can buy respec token recipes (giving us access to virtually unlimited respecs) there's really no justification for not letting us earn all 6 respecs like that.|

Again the idea that you may or may not get a badge based on whether you used certain respec tokens years ago (long before there was even a hint that such a thing would even matter) would be very unacceptable. Seems like it would be far easier to just let everyone be able to get all six badges.
These are currently the only badges that have ANY restrictions for people who crossover.
There's really no reason they should be uniquely limited like that.

Had anyone tested it in i19 beta? Any changes to respec badges?
My controller has travelled over to the Rogue Isles, and having turned into a villain via the alignment process, has started work on gathering as many villain badges as possible. One particular problem I've run into is that when doing the red side treespec trials, the option to choose the respec reward (and thus the badge) doesn't appear. All I get is the reward merits option.
This happened to several other heroes on the team I was with today. For myself, I have the three hero side respec badges. Could this be a factor in preventing me from getting the villain side respec badges?
