Guild Wars 2

I know you are busy, in the middle of a living story , checking tons of really helpfull post that allow you to make a better game having a constructive discussion with your comunity.
But , there is a torture hitting a part of your comunity , that is actually playing the game with a level 80 charatcer with a lot of progress done that do not enjoy anymore his appearence.
This kind of people , are not lazy , but not crazy too.
Level again the same profession we enjoy , and achieve again the whole progress/gear/map completition/etc etc just to change our race , would cause us to increse even more our level of frustration (frustrastion caused by the diwconnecting experience we have playing the class we like , with an apperience that naused us).
I well know there is a very large part of the “fan” comunity that strongly oppose to such option (change race chance).
I also see so many progress from your part, because you increase every few months the aspects of the game that help a little to make the game more alt friendly (scrolls that make youngain levels, account bount progress, etc etc).
Yet, this option, leave us with too many things to achieve in order to have a new character of the same profession , just to change our race.
The last update as a developer statement about this topic was made more than one year agò.
Is it possible to know if you developers are taking in consideration this option?
Or , is it possible to know what do you think about it after more than a year since the game release?
Does any developer discuss about it or consider it during your meetings after you see at least 1 thread per month about race change on your forums?

Sorry if the title/content of this thread is too direct , i know you guys read and prolly can’t answer to avoid polemics with your comunity/avoid any false positive sentence.
Also, sorry for my english.

I have not heard any news about it. The problem with race change in this game is that the personal story is partially linked to creating your character, so they would have to rework the code so that it will forget all about that and any advancement in that and reset it in a way that would allow it to work (at least my thoughts are how this would semi work). But i think because this takes time and I don’t know how much money they could make out of it, that they won’t do it, I mean look at all the bugs and exploits in this game, it won’t make them money to fix them so they don’t do it unless it breaks most of the game.

I just don’t understand how someone can go from fully customizing a char/race at the character creation screen, play through a huge amount of the content, and level all the way to 80 w/o KNOWING whether they like the look of their character or not. There are tons of different sites that allow you to preview every armor in the game and you have access to every races racial skills by level 30. I can’t fathom how you could not like your chosen race after spending so much time using them; especially with all the tools and resources at your disposal for checking builds, looks, and whatever else. You can enter HotM at level 2 and try nearly every build, use every weapon, and preview nearly every armor not even 5 mins into the game.

Cultural armor exploits, complete lack of continuity in your personal story, as well as a dedicated ‘home’ instance are the main problems with this idea though I can imagine the community could dream up a ton of other exploits with such a change.

I don’t think this will ever happen tbh. There are plenty of ways to level a char VERY quickly and Anet would love nothing more than for you to buy another character slot to remake your character you somehow neglected to look at/learn about for the entire game.
