A Newbie's Thoughts
I tried the new levelling system and this new player has the same issues with it as I do.
Level gating is bad.
If it’s for trial accounts then make it ONLY for them.
You really should not be dragging your already paying consumers into this.
Arenanet should hire this guy. He might be new(ish) but he grasped the exact concept of what GW2 was offering that was so special for its players pool base.
Level gated weapon skills are not a big thing. Play the game for 30 minutes and guess what? They are all unlocked. Some of the other level gated stuff seems silly to me as a veteran player. The utility skills are being looked at. They have been stated to not be working as intended by the devs, so that will be amended somehow soon.

But that means that when you equip another weapon you have never used before you instantly get all 5 skills on that weapon. And that gives NO meaning whatsoever in terms of Anets explanation that all of these weapon skills are overwhelming to new players and that they need time to learn.
I have a really hard time seeing why they’ve come to the conclusion that level gating the weapon skills was better than the old system.
