This happened to me also on my Thief. I was in sPvP lobby when I activated the Elite Spec Line and have no new Staff, and my Collection is still locked. It worked fine on my other characters when I activated their Elite Specs in PvE.
I was going to post this in the HoT Bug Report Thread but after a search I found this thread on the forums.
Same issue here. I guess I will go do something else whilst I wait for this to be resolved. Thanks for the swift response, Mod.
WOAH!! I just got kicked also and then when I finally got it to log me back in it has reset. Everything I just did in the last hour or so has just gone. Not very happy about that, big waste of my time.
