I just don’t see the appeal. It’s very expensive, compared to just starting a new character (if you have an open slot,) and you seem to get very little in return for it.
Would people still do it? Probably. But a lot more people are going to look at that and say, “Anet has no idea what they’re doing, that’s ridiculous.”
I’m not opposed to people having a “story reset” option or a “profession swap” gem store item, but if they’re going to implement those things, I’d rather see them done in a more appealing, less convoluted way.

Yeah. I’m not seeing what I’d be gaining from doing this rather than just make a new character.
It combines two great forum loves: nostalgia for GW1 and those wanting to change profs for a favorite character.
I have nothing against adding it to the game, except for the cost of implementation; I’d much prefer to see other changes to the game, rather than designers, coders, and QA working on this.

No. It’s a waste waste of dev resources. I want new content not something that forces me replay the same content. Bad idea is BAD.
Yeah, its has a niche market at best. Anet can always hire more people you know, and no one is forcing you to do this. I’ll admit it would be expensive though. I suppose nostalgia gets the best of me.
