I don't think Training Origins exist any longer

They do, i believe they still drop,  but I know you can buy them at a SG vendor inside a base.

A lot of people respec at 50 into their "final build".  I design the final build early on and work toward it.  Respeccing is such a pain.

And this is the problem I have with the builds most people post on the forums. Yes, the build may be well-designed and effective, but they're absolutely useless for following the build with a new character as it's laid out in Mids, because they're clearly based on a "this is the result of my level 50 respec" build, with their bottom four powers six-slotted before putting slots into any other attacks or defenses, because the player just filled in slots left to right, top to bottom, and didn't care what level the slots were allocated, because only the level powers were chosen makes a difference in the game.

Things you didn't know you didn't know!

Another one of the 'dead giveaways' that a build will be near useless for leveling is seeing Hasten chosen before level 10. Hasten does practically nothing for a character below level 20 and there are certainly other power picks that improve QoL in the levels between 4 and 16.
