But, that apart, isn't everything going swimmingly. Gosh yes.

Same thing happened to me. Capped at 70k. I submitted a ticket and I was told it is a known issue and they're working on it.
I thought it got fixed in yesterday's patch, but the game just tricked me and recapped itself at 75k.

Yep, You can use respecs to get around the Novice and Master walls.
To get Novice Ranger. Justmove a 8 points of another Elite into that slot. Once you have Novice, you can grind a couple of boxes respec a box of Scout XP based Ranger back into the original Elite. With the 2x bonus, the first tier boxes govery fast.
Master is a bit more tricky. The way Iam doing it isby Respeccing out of the entire Survival line and"banking" the Elite points. The extra Elite points from regaining the first two boxes of Survival will be enough to Respec into Master, bypassing the Scout XP wall.
*NOTE THAT THIS ASSUMES THAT THE RESPECS ARE INDEED NOW SAVING EXCESS POINTS BETWEEN RESPECS*
I have a couple of hours to go before I can respec again to be sure. I am not sure how it will handle accumulating more Elite points than 250 skill points would normally allow. Maybe I can crash the server or something, ROFL.

Did you notice Novice Ranger costs 8 Elite points? Novice Anything else costs 7. Thefirst tier of Ranger are 9 Elite points, first tier anything else are 8. So essentially, you can train a first tier box of anything else then surrender it to train Novice Ranger.
Comparing CH and Ranger Trees
Novice Ranger - 8
First Tier - 9
Second Tier - 10
Third Tier - 11
Fourth Tier - 12
Master Ranger - 13
Novice Creature Handler - 7
First Tier - 8
Second Tier - 9
Third Tier - 10
Fourth Tier - 11
Master Ranger - 12
Stupid we have to use /respec to bypass a bug.

Man, if they're gonna give us idiotic bugs like this (which I think can rightly be assumed to be easily fixed), I say abuse the respec system to its fullest. I honestly enjoy the CU and am only annoyed with a few of the bugs, many of which were handled with the recent patch (which I might add is perhaps the best patch ever seen on SWG, as it actually addresses simple issues and handles them fully). But come on...stupid mistakes like xp caps and requirements....how hard can that be to fix?

Seems fixed on Bria, I currently have 85k and am only Master Scout working towards Novice Ranger.
Thank you for fixing this.
