Guild Wars 2

So i created two characters a few days after the feature patch and got them to level 80. I then went to check out the traits and saw that i have to do tons of missions, events, and quests. I then went to the trait master and saw that if i want all traits unlocked the total for gold is around 40g, why did anet think it was a good idea to charge 40g and before it would only cost around 6g. I honestly don’t want to be spending hours just to be able to play my character hunting for traits, i have 10 alts right now and would like to make more but if this trait system stays like this it kind of makes not want to make anymore. I have spent over 4k hours on this game and don’t really feel like backtracking each time i make a new character. Is there a possible solution to people who like to make alts?

Ya i can understand the new trait system if its your first toon, because it help motivate your to explore the world. However I already have multiple lv80 and competed the map. I don’t want to do it over and over for each new toon, but instead of paying what was it like 15g before I have to dish out 40G + a crap ton of skill points to trail my new toons.

Exactly my point, why are we forced to either have to backtrack and spend hours just to get some traits, or have to dish out tons of gold and waste a lot of skill points just so that we can play our character, would be nice if they at least lowered the cost.

Welcome to the club. A lot of 80s say it’s fine, until they make an alt themselves.

The old trait system at least let us test out the traits, but now we can’t even do that, since we’re locked out of them. The only way is to go into the Heart of the Mists area.

The new system is too time consuming, and dependent on random events. It also forces players into other zones and pvp.

It’s just bad design, where traits are locked behind personal story completions. A level 50 story mission for a first-tier trait is just ridiculous on so many levels.

I noticed one of my alt are missing trait points .I rarely play this game due to constant changes ..I know my alts had more points than what I have now… It is bad when you work to get them and now they gone…
