Anyone know if we will keep the traits that we spent copper/silver/gold to unlock or earned? I mean the update said that they are changing the way we unlock traits so does that mean when the update comes we have to earn everything over? -.-

They haven’t said.

Updates in the past have sometimes resulted in mitigation, sometimes not. For example,

  • When the wardrobe update arrived: people who spent gems on town clothes (and got tonics) were able to get a refund; everyone with duplicate dyes got refunds and those with limited-edition dyes got vials of those expensive colors; people who had found skins, but no longer had any characters using them did not get replacement skins.
  • When the current trait system went live, every character that existed was grandfathered in to the old system, no matter the level. (e.g. I have a character that was L20 at the time; when reaching L50 recently, all relevant traits were available without spending coin/SP or doing unlock activities)

tl;dr anything is possible.

I speculate that they will make it easy-ish for veterans to unlock specializations more quickly. (I can think of a dozen ways they could do that.)
