Guild Wars 2

Instead of having racial skills be specific to a race; allow every race to unlock them but do it through NPCs/Mob in an area of the race it originally belonged too. Possibly have them be like skills you had to hunt for in the original guild wars. That way races really are a cosmetic/story choice.

Probably won’t ever happen but its a shame that some race/class combinations result in useless skills while others open up some very good builds. I like the Norn but I’d trade all of their racials for pain inverter on my ranger. I know I could delete my level 80 ranger and make an asura but I really don’t like how they look in medium armor [or in general].

They would not be racial skills if anyone could get them now would they? They are skilled designed around that race because only that race can do them. A char or norn don’t know how to create a gollom like an asura do they? An asura can’t transform into a norns spirit nor you see a charr using a seed to create a plant. So to allow every race to use any of those spells would be taking away lore of that race.
