Sorry if something like this was already posted, I couldn’t find it.

One of the things I think are missing in the game is some sort of sense of beloging to a specific race or profession.

Let’s start with the race.
We go through the level 1-30 story and it’s all about our race.
So far so good, but that’s it.
Do we become important for our people? Do someone recognize us?
Ok, Destiny’s Edge do, but almost no one else.
We get some kind of useless title that no one care about like “Hero of Shaemoor” or “Slayer of Issormir” and nothing else.

Wouldn’t it be nice to become really important for our people?
Something like this:
After Zhaitan defeat we go back in our lands and do something race specific.
A story arc to become an human Minister (or Seraph/Shining Blade?), a norn Shaman/Havroun (maybe with a lesser Spirit so we don’t have conflicts in the story), an Asura krewe leaders and so on.
Just something to make us feel part of our race society, to introduce some new npc, some friend that we get to know and actually care about in the future.
There are a lot of possibility to expand our role in each race, IMO.

And I’d like something similar for the professions too.
In GW1 Factions we went through the tutorial doing profession specific missions.
An elementalist would fight other elementalists, a Ritualist would clean a Necromancer mess, an Assassin would go on an assassination mission etc.
I think it would be really cool to have some profession specific missions like that.
Maybe gaining a skill, a weapon or an armor piece exclusive for the profession as a reward.
And this would also be another way to add some important npc.

I’m not proposing something that would radically change the game.
It’s something little, but it would help us to feel that our character belong to something.
Same thing could be done for the orders actually, but I think that profession and race are our first choices so we should use something for them before anything else.

That’s all.
Sorry for any grammar mistake and the like.
