Guild Wars 2

First of all, I would like to say Thank You for GW2

Now to the matter at hand:

I know i’ll be crucified for this but i like the fact that we have to work for our traits now but, what I don’t really agree with is the work you gave us…

I understand that some Low-to Mid Lvl Events were pretty much abandoned and forgotten by the players and that Trait Hunting gave them a 2nd breath but…

There’s something in having to join a Zerg to gain a Trait that seems wrong…
And Mapping for Traits sounds like a chore for most players…

So, my suggestion for Trait unlocking would be Challenge Missions (that could be performed Solo or on a Team) found on Instances in remote places across Tyria.
We could have Academies for each Trait Line and Tier located at different locations, for example:

Power Traits – Adept – Snowden Drifts
Power Traits – Master – Lornar’s Pass
Power Traits – GrandMaster – Timberline Falls

And so on…

For each Trait you’d get a different challenge at the cost of Skill Points
(Adept – 3SP Master – 6SP GrandMaster – 10SP)
with free retries until you exit the challenge…

Please give me your thoughts on this idea

Thank You

while yes, it would be totally amazing if trait unlocking was bound to new, unique challenges spread throughout the world, it’s also kind of an unrealistic amount of work to be poured at once. maybe now that they got the system laid out, they can work on making the challenges themselves more interesting.

I would be happy enough with the Trait Trainers giving you 2 options like “Pay or Hustle” and giving u a Quest to unlock the Trait when successful
