It won't come that way. Every toon can have one freespec. These are different from respecs and vet respecs in that you can claim them anywhere. But only one at a time.

I happy with a freespec. I'll be even happier with a badge, but that doesn't mean I an unsatisfied with the respec. 
Blue
American Steele: 50 BS/Inv
Nightfall: 50 DDD
Sable Slayer: 50 DM/Rgn
Fortune's Shadow: 50 Dark/Psi
WinterStrike: 47 Ice/Dev
Quantum Well: 43 Inv/EM
Twilit Destiny: 43 MA/DA
Red
Shadowslip: 50 DDC
Final Rest: 50 MA/Rgn
Abyssal Frost: 50 Ice/Dark
Golden Ember: 50 SM/FA
But what I want to know is, where's this free meal everyones on about?
Seriously though a Freespec is nice so thankyou and it's nice everyones getting it rather than cutting certain toons/accounts because they haven't got a 50 or only been playing the game a year (like a certain other MMORPG).
Have to admit I do have more respecs than I could use and something else would be nice - just saying!! Not whinging.

I'm not changing this signature until I'm proclaimed 'King of the World'.
There is no way currently in game to provide the sort of choice you're asking for. Which means such a system would have to be developed for it. Which, I'm guessing, since it doesn't already exist, is not a trivial thing. Which means that they would have to dedicate a non trivial amount of effort for ... what reward exactly? Addressing a couple of misguided entitlement issues?
Another possible way to offer choices would be through the mail system. They could use the same mail delivery choice system that is used for vet pets choice, and power choices as the "sands of mu" and "nemesis staff".
Don't take this as me saying I think this is what they SHOULD do, I'm just setting the record straight that it CAN be done. Personally I'm okay with a free respec, just hope that it comes via charcter mail so i can save it with my others waiting to be claimed when needed.
