Simple and I'm surprised you don't already know the answer.
A one-time lump-sum of 1000g is nowhere near akin to rolling an alt, leveling it to 70 and then running dailies on it over and over and over. Or for that matter, not running dailies on it, just having it be my "pvp version of Mideci."
I mean these are so entirely unrelated in terms of the investment sink and allowing me to play one character it's not even slightly comparable.
And since people are already respecing weekly or more, the notion that "Mideci" or "Leeo" (my priest) should be just one spec is already out the window. That's a WoW anachronism already. In fact, our guild would've already failed if we couldn't make use of the readily available respec mechanism. It's just a huge punishment for the few.
Again, we'll incur some cost / pain. But an entire re-roll and re-level? To 70 and then 80? Not what we're after. Nor are we after having to rescue the Skettis prisoner 4 more times every time we want to go into the arena.
The time has come. I think most people get that. I'd hope Blizzard's developers' comments indicate they are among them.
