Guild Wars 2

I had an idea just wanted to share. I was thinking the trait system could be changed to add more interesting choices. The first thing I was thinking is that players could choose the stats that they get instead of it being linked to the trait line. My other suggestion is to get rid of the trait lines and just allow players to choose a set amount of major and minor traits (Maybe 5). I just think this would add more choices overall. Was just wondering what other people thought.

The current traitlines and their restrictions are in place for balance reasons.

Undoing any of the restrictions in the current system would open some build that would be overpowered.
