Hero reset offers some opportunity to replay and grow the hero again whereas adding skill points for gems is a totally unfun way of boosting your heroes, its like paying to cheat up your hero.
From Glu's point of view, a hero reset will always earn Glu more money due to Glu being able to charge a gem cost for the reset and after the reset, the player will pay further 5 gems per level. This is guaranteed money for Glu since the only reason for purchasing a reset is to get the 5 gems bonus skill point. If you wanted to merely reallocate the skill pts, you can already get it from the 1/2 gem per level option.
On top of that, releveling takes time = more gameplay = more ads for Glu.
To that effect, I would advise Glu not to allow skill points purchase but for hero resets so Glu can make more money and continue to develop more awesome content for HoD.

You have contributed a lot to the community especially with the items guides and tips for newbies but I think you should stop being abusive when someone has a different opinion. I too would support a hero reset than to repurchase skills. First, it's easier to code a reset than to code repurchasing missed skills. second, it is more helpful to a newbie to restart a hero than to restart the entire game. having a newbie catch up by repurchasing skill is not as helpful as releveling a hero, imo. releveling a hero allows better familiarity by going through the basics again. either way, exp is very easy to come by especially now that you need plenty of blue items and elements to fuse.
either option is good for me since i messed up a few chars early on given the advise of the old-timers. i messed up tlanac thinking that alia or nyxx is better. and I'm sure plenty of newbies messed up too especially when faced with a "spend 5 gems now for 1 additional skill point" decision that early in the game and having a dearth of gems to play around with.
so, yeah - give us a hero reset option and even old-timers can enjoy replaying the secondary or tertiary teams that they may have stuffed up while waiting for jaral to open up.
Absolutely. A little cool down would likely help the community spirit here.
