Not obtaining Hero Points from leveling
Correct. You’re currently in a deficit due to the algorithm used to “maintain” builds in the new update would have selected a “best fit” for your character. While it will temporarily limit your ability to swap skills and traits, it does mean your character will be, until it catches up and pays back the deficit, noticeably more powerful due to having access to traits it normally would not have yet.
This is unfair, they spent my points in Death Magic, but I don’t have any minion skill unlocked! And they didn’t “maintain” any build, my character had no traits. Now I won’t obtain hero points for leveling and my necro is useless! The game spent points without my permission, I want to spend them on other things. Why couldn’t they have just refunded all the points and traits and let us build up to where we were. At least The Old Republic got that part right when they replaced the skill system. I think I’ll just delete my necro and create another one with the same appearence and personal story choices…

ANet thought a lot about it ahead of time and figured out how many people would be inconvenienced and of those, how many would really care…and determined that the greater good was that they decide for us.
Personally, I think that was a tactical mistake and I firmly believe they should have allowed everyone a single, one-time reset (maybe with an expiration date).
However, it’s done. They did what they did and unless they spend a huge effort to setup a refund system for this one-time, special situation, we’ll just have to live with it. Under those conditions, I prefer that they focus on HoT and fixing other bugs.
tl;dr Even though I feel they made a mistake, I still think it’s better that we just accept it, rather than push them to change the mechanic.

Yeah, but now I have to play everything again or I won’t be able to customize my character the way I want. I am very disappointed with ANet, a lot of people reported the same problem and they won’t fix it…
Just wanted to make sure that you realize that by level 80 you will have enough points to unlock all traits and abilities.
You knew that right?

Yes, I’ll continue to play with my necro and try to level up untill I pay my “hero points debt” (even thinking that ANet shouldn’t have done that).
