Ray said he would not implement orbs reset.
Refunding would be extremely hard. How would you refund sacrifices? You'd have to keep track of how many sacrifices you bought with gold/crystals, then how much xp each sacrifice gave.
So you probably wouldn't, or you'd reset with lvl 1 orbs. Would you then be willing to waste the ton of gold/crystals you've invested?
I would agree that the way the new feature was introduced could have been a lot better. There's nothing in the patch note detailing how it works, so you're left to your own experimentation which might end up badly. But then, orbs is pretty much the only gameplay element which has any long lasting impact since the effect is permanent. You don't blindly upgrade stuff and hope for the best, you need to carefully think about it and I think it's a good thing in a game where all your other choices can be reset: it gives some kind of uniqueness to your character.
And remember this game is supposed to have RPG-like elements. Most RPGs don't allow skills resets, that's what make your character unique.
