Guild Wars 2

I have not bought HoT despite all the time I spend playing GW2. Why? Because I am sPvPing 95% of the time. I don’t have much interest for the story, or the new areas that make up the lion’s share of HoT. The only thing that I would use are the new elite specs. That alone isn’t a problem, except for the fact that the new specs are the most effective metas, and competitive play is nearly impossible without them. This has transformed this game into yet another Pay to Win environment. I do not think it is fair enough of a purchase to pay 50 USD’s for 1 class and a few new specs. That’s ridiculous. So my suggestion is this; allow players to purchase the elite specs + Revenant for a set price outside of having to buy the entire expansion. A price below $20 would be more reasonable. This is something that I have heard many players asking for, and would be a welcome addition to the game’s system. Please consider, and thank you.

Actually, I kind of like this general concept? If ArenaNet splits PvP skills and traits (which I very much hope they will), they could bring back PvP-only characters/accounts or whatever. Have a pack that includes all the elite specs, maybe some gear for customisation, and a character slot.

I also noticed that the elite specs are kind of overpowered right now. Some of them are very PvE focused though, which is fine. However the new elite specs undercut the original ones in a way that doesn’t seem fair to me either.

I also think that this is normal cause ANet do need to sell the expansion after all. If they went like “the new content is just new stuff, but nothing special that will make you feel stronger” then it would be plain stupid

The suggestion is good though and I hope it gets to them.
