This would be good for two reasons:
1) A badge sink (lots of WvW players collect far more badges than they have a practical use for)
2) Permanent character changes absolutely suck. Semi-permanence is good, but absolute permanence makes people afraid of picking something.
I haven’t spent a single WxP point yet because I know the most useful thing to get would be 115 in “Defense against Guards,” but I don’t yet have 115 points. If I could reset my WxP abilities, even for a significant cost, I’d be willing to spend those points.
This decision to make WxP abilities permanent reminds me of some other games that punish players for decisions they make early on… It’s quite surprising coming from this game since the other design decisions aren’t like that at all.
Thank you for your consideration.
