No Rewards for "Bonus SP"? Anyone feeling ripped off?

[Azurymber]

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but the recent lodestone post seems to suggest they are scrapping "accumulated surplus".

Fatigue is the means whereby playing for prolonged periods of time progressively yields less and less skill and experience points, eventually reaching a point where neither can be obtained. Patch 1.18 will see the removal of this system, meaning players will no longer be subjected to a reduction in skill and experience point awards even after long hours of play. In light of this change, accumulated surplus points will also be done away with.

I remember quite clearly that rewards were kind-of promised (not directly but alluded to), when the game was launched and everyone was complaining about the fatigue system. I mean they pretty well called it bonus SP and exp or some variant at one point.

So does anyone feel kinda ripped off that they had to deal with this system for so long and won't get rewarded for all the bonus sp and exp points they have racked up?

edit: clarifying things. Komoto around the end of closed beta suggested that they would consider creating some use for surplus points but didnt want to announce what it is because it would defeat the purpose of them. At the start they were called surplus, and at some point changed to bonus. This seemed to suggest that they would be useful for something. Many players on different boards at the time believed they would be eventually used for purchasing special gear or as free sp/exp at level cap raise. I believe it had been mentioned in an interview as well but i'm not sure.

Or am i misinterpreting this? Or have they mentioned rewards somewhere?
