Hello people!
I have recently stumbled upon an issue that was no biggie in other games, but for GW2 it seems to be one.
Most games, offer an item, to be used and select your class once more.
A Reroll Scroll, a Stone of Rebirth, or known under various other names, this item mostly costs a lot, which would mean, it should be an account bound gem shop only item, and helps players play a different class without leveling and doing all the fun, and non-fun parts of the game again!
I thought, at first, that such an item will be priority to developers looking at how much of the game experience is always bound to a character, be it through dyes, or quests that you have done, unique achievements achieved in an event or unique items that you obtained, all of this, is going to be lost once you start the adventure again with an other character.
While leveling up a new character simply to experience something new IS a great option, therefore I am very grateful for the possibility to acquire additional character slots, that’ s a really good idea, I still do not feel like spending months to get a different class to the state my current is at (and it’s impossible, the unique events, that offered temporary content won’t be accessible on my new toon). All I am asking for, is a simple item, that makes you chose once again, resetting the skillpoints you used for skills, unequipping your gear if you chose a class that wears a different type of it, and makes you experience the world of WvW, Fractals, Dungeons and much more at your current level of gameplay with a different class!
Think of the possibilities, you spent the last months playing your warrior but really like Mesmers? That is no issue, combining the already offered items like the Total Makeover Kit and the Name Change, together with a Rebirth Scroll you would keep all you have, all the glory, BUT you would finally be able to play the Mesmers you adore so much! (you can even make a cute mesmer girl out of your barbaric norn warrior!).
This comes from a player who sadly does not have enough time to play as much as he would like, but I feel like such an item would greatly improve the game, I heard of people quitting the game because of all the work they put into one character and suddenly felt like playing a different class, THIS should not happen, and I do not want this to happen to me either, so if you happen to support this idea, please drop a comment, tell me if you would like such an item implemented and hopefully we will reach the proper people to make use of the ideas we shall collect in this thread and implement an item, that makes the lives of casual players easier.
Thank you in advance!
Tl;dr : Want to chose your class again? A Rebirth Scroll is all you need!
EDIT: A suggestion from a fellow player:
Upon using the item, you are going to be set to lvl1 again.
This way you would have to levelup, all you keep is the soulbound and unique unlocked content, your name and appearance obviously.

(that’s sarcasm, it’s a terrible idea), but you just disconsidered the fact that you won’t know how to play as the new class you choose
