Worried about broken Advantages/retcon costs

Now before you go on to say that the retcon price is a bug, i know =P but by the time its fixed, alot of people are going to be prety high. The respec feature was to let you go back and respec the last 10 powers/advanteges.
But what about the people that lvld before the fix? they wont have the luxery of actually being able to afford a respec (minus afew in ur 20's) Is there anything the devs can do to help us? or are we prety much out of luck when it comes to that. It seems like it would be a bad idea to lvl right now because once you get higher, if you see a power of urs isnt what you thought it would realy be, your out of luck.
The 2nd think is the Broken Advantages this also has alot to do with the first issue. At first i had no idea there was a limit to how many points you could put into a power. I maxed out 2 gun mojo's ranks and got it to 3, but then found out that the taunt breaks block in PvP i thought "Hey ive got afew extra points, lets go buy that advantage. Once i got in the powerhouse and figured out i could only have 5, it was to late, and with the power cost i cant respec the rank 2 and 3 of two gun mojo. Also, some of the advantages are broken completly it would seem, ive done testing in afew duels, and what i can from the dummies/lazor. But
Microfiliment wire was the first advantage that i noticed is broken, it won't pull ur main target to you, or do anything at all. also, Breakaway shot rank 3 seems to make it so i cant even hit my main target, but some targets on the side, and like i said earlier this is all tested on the dummies/duels.
Another issue would be for the min/maxers. Once i got in the 20's and started the 2nd set of pvp instances ive noticed that my munitions/regen powers are prety much useless against anyone. I don't know if it was that invuln power, or something else, but i couldent do more then 20 damage(usualy 1 damage) to anyone even while they arent blocking. i was getting blasted by 600-1k's left and right. But by the time the fix gets here, ppl wont be able to correct any mistakes, or get rid of say regen for whatever power those ppl were using.
O well, this is just afew things ive had on my mind since headstart started and thought id post it.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this? or could a dev let us know if anything can be done to help the ones that lvl before the patch that fixes the cost? thx

I agree 100%. For many of us we didn't realized a "mistake" in our builds until it was too late. In this case even respecing the first power was impossible, we couldn't afford it.
So here I sit almost at the end of the head start with a toon I don't want and will have to start over because the powers I don't want are now off the list or WAY to expensive to respec.
From one point of view this bug has cost us our head start, something we pre-paid for.
Cryptic, PLEASE give all the head start people a free FULL respec.
