By boring traits I basically mean traits that increase your damage by X% amount.
Just for an example, WoW used to have those kinds of talents in their talent system for years and when I played the game I really never liked them. However Blizzard did get rid of them eventually which brought me back to the game and it just felt like a major improvement. Having to pick up talents which actually meant something was just a lot more fun and I’m really suprised why ArenaNet decided to bring them to their game.
I understand that redesingins all those “boring” traits does take time and we won’t probably see it happening for a while if ever but I that’s just one thing I really would like to see in the game.
