Either way there's a fundmental problem with having the potential to get badges be based on whether or not you used respec tokens. Like I said I used one of the 3 original tokens I had back like 5 years ago. How was I supposed to know I should have not used that respec just so that I'd be able to get another badge 5 years later?

You have to burn through any freespecs you already have before the badge awards for an earned respec. I logged in with the "You have 3 respecs remaining". I know I only used 2 of them back in the day, so the 3 I had were likely 1 freespec, 1 patron respec, and the 1 remaining trial respec.
I switched to my new 3rd build and leveled it to level 3 (you can't respec while below lvl 3), then burned through all 3 of my respecs. When I finished the 3rd one, I was awarded with the Thorn Usurper badge (3rd villain respec). Apparently I had only used 2 of them back in the day.
My tank had used all 3 respecs back in the day, and got nothing from burning through all of them. I'm planning on trying it on my Corrupter later tonight when I finish moving her back to Heroside. It says "you have 5 unclaimed respecs" on her, so she probably has a freespec, the Patron respec, and all 3 trial respecs. I'll keep you posted how it works.
Turg is afraid to try it because he actually claimed all his Veteran respecs as he earned them, so he's possibly got like 8 respecs to burn through just to get the badge. /e tantrum ensued. haha

Converted to full Hero.
Changed to an unused build.
Spoke to Jack Wolfe (Freespec). No badge awarded.
Spoke to Jack Wolfe (Patron respec). No badge awarded.
Spoke to Jack Wolfe (Trial respec). Received the Stalwart Medallion.
Spoke to Jack Wolfe (Trial respec). Earned the Statesman Star.
Just for kicks, I decided to claim a Veteran Respec, just to see which respec gets used first.
Spoke to Jack Wolfe. Awarded the Freedom Cross.
It looks like the Trial respecs get used before Veteran Respecs, so I can still use it some time later. Turg will probably be happy. rofl
So now that toon has all 6 respec badges. Either way, I still agree that it should be fixed one way or the other.

Thanks for reporting your results. Again I'll point out how very cheesy that is. The idea that you can just burn a banked respec token to "automagically" get another opposite-side badge is bad for all sorts of reasons. |

Ideally we should just be able to run 6 total respec trials (3 hero and 3 villain) and be able to get 6 badges and 6 respec tokens out of that. Keeping the limit to only 3 bankable respec tokens simply doesn't make sense now that we can crossover back-n-forth between both sides.

Correcting an adjective there. Respec'ing is a harrowing experience. :P I hate it, it's why I very rarely, if ever, do it.|

And yeah, since the vet respecs seem to be last in the pecking order, it wouldn't take as long to do as we initially thought. Still, I figure this: It will probably become available at some point in the future. I do have need for building at least one respec on an alt build, so I might try that once. I hate the idea of burning up respecs for a badge though, so if I do it it'll be with an actual design goal in mind, and just killing multiple avians with a single projectile.

Completing a villain morality mission today pushed my total from 1086 to 1112. Waiting until I had all the day jobs done before making the switch was worth it for that string of Gladiator Unlocked!/Badge Earned!/etc. messages.
