Unable to Respec Using Refunded Passive Tree Points. Workaround is Unnecessarily Expensive.

I'm a console player, playing on a PS5, updated to the most recent hotfix.

For the past couple of days, I haven't been able to properly refund passive points on my tree. When I refund the points, I'm only allowed to re-allocate them somewhere very close to where I have removed them.

For example, let's say I want to refund Hollow Palm Technique and use that refunded point to connect to a Crit Chance boost node 10 nodes back on my path through the tree. I can't do that, and my only options are 2 or 3 nodes directly surrounding the Hollow Palm node. In order to get the Crit Chance Node I want to light up, I have to refund all 10 nodes and go all the way back down my path on the tree and re-input those nodes in order to make that one Crit Chance node work.

This costs tens of thousands of gold to accomplish, which is a lot for a league start, especially if you're trying out a new ascendancy and experimenting a lot.

I've seen MANY similar posts on this forum and on Reddit from people experiencing similar issues and the general consensus is it's a bug.

This is separate from the visual bug showing up when players complete ascendancy trials and still see points on their display (which is happening to me as well.) This is an actual problem that is massively affecting gameplay and player economies and needs to get fixed quick, or I'm going to be broke and sad. Please look into this.
