Dear Anet, I really hope you DO NOT make another class. I get this bad vibe every time I think about it. The major problem with MMos like this one is that they have Tooo Much classes. It just totally makes it not worth it.
Here’s my logic. Too much classes is like food poison and stuff like that, where you have too much of something, and you get tired out very easily. We all want to keep one class that is very dear to us, and if you add more and more, we seriously start to doubt ourselves, taht leads us to going around the forums, looking for feedbacks on certain classes, which loses are interests in the long run.
8 is a good number. Not too much, not too little. Just remember that before you decide to try to start another class. Just becareful. Don’t want this to end up like WoW where you have 20 classes. I haven’t played WoW before, but I know that the first time I realized that there were like 20 classes and like 10 races, it lost my interest, because I knew that the devs just tried to please the consumers so much. Don’t do it like that. Keep the majority of the projects to yourselves, and try not to get dragged into suggestions by players whose ideas in the end will leave destruction in the long run.
So what I am sayin is if you can, try to keep the 8 professions as it is. Races addition are good, but just try to Update the 8 professions to their max potential, instead of trying to get new professions every time you start to see us lose some interest. It doesn’t work like that. If you can constantly makes us appreciate the 8 professions we have, there is no reason for us to ever leave gw2. Thank you for listening.
