The request is asking that cooldown timers be reset on wipe. When you die, your buffs expire, but the cooldown remains intact. Trials and fights like A8 don't let you release until the party is out of combat, so resetting the cooldown timer on release can't be used to double up, nor let players die just to get their buffs back. In fact, with boss lockouts, I don't see how resetting cooldowns on release in instanced content could be exploited.
I'll make the same statement to you as I did someone else, read the entire thread where people have come up with hypothetical situations that a boss reset =/= a full party wipe. Others have developed solutions to those hypothetical situations, but you can't just say that it's a simple fix because all you need to do is this when it comes to programming.

How are people abusing it on SSS?

1) When you exit SSS, all your CD's are put to their maximum.
2) When you enter SSS, they're all set to 0 so you can use them all in your opener. the amount of time it takes to exit, and re-enter SSS, is obviously long enough that at best you might get ONE, maybe TWO gcd's in? if you're LUCKY.

So where are you getting this 'abuse' of SSS from?
There were videos posted when SSS was first released that showed people with dps cooldowns active and off cooldown to be reused again during the encounter. Abilities such as Raging Strikes which on a normal SSS attempt you can only use once due to it's cooldown period were able to be used a second time. This could have been hotfixed to be no longer possible, but since I never bothered attempting this myself (as I and others have stated, doing this only cheats yourself) I can't say for certain if it is still possible. As for how they did it, I wouldn't know either as the videos started with the initiation of the SSS combat and did not show how they managed to have the buffs running prior to initiation with the skills themselves off cooldown and available for use.
