Professions as Content[Suggestion]
Horrible idea.
MMOs that put the majority of their content targeted at rerolling rather than expanding existing characters are shooting themselves in the foot. It’s a cheaper way to add content because you’re not actually adding content, and you’re just forcing people to roll alts.
Thing is, people that like rolling alts will roll alts anyway but people that don’t will leave your game because you don’t care about the characters they have grown attached to
The same argument applies for adding races. They’re easier to add to the game, but they add less overall value to it. Giving existing characters more options is always a better route than just forcing people to roll new characters just to experience the next new thing.
I’d prefer they go the current route and keep caring about adding value to existing characters that people have invested time and effort in to first. Honestly I think the revenant itself was wasted development space they could have used to introduce its mechanics in specializations for the existing classes in stead.

The other reason I’d like to see this is because new professions would be new permanent content. They added 3 new, permanent maps in 3 years. That’s awful. When world exploring is your favorite thing in an MMO and the MMO you like the most is unwilling to add new maps in a significant way, the next best thing I could think of is adding new professions to explore old maps with. That way, at least the new profession is something to get excited about.
TBH, I doubt there will be any new professions added to GW2 from here on out. Just new specialisations.
