Guild Wars 2

Are we ever going to get profession switching on our exciting toons?

No. The trouble associated with it would be far too great and the actual sensibility behind it would be far too little. Making any character level 80 would take less than a week even casually with little to no effort if you simply stayed on course without all the level ups the game practically shoves in your face.

Edit: What really should happen is guilds should be able to trade and hand out Tomes of Knowledge. It effectively is the same solution without requiring anything really.

However much I’d actually like this idea (Fell in love with it after trying the FF14 trial), I think it would be pretty difficult to implement at this stage. They would basically have to design the game for it in the first place (and all the infrastructure to make it work).

Heck, just removing the account-bound on tomes, let us trade them, give them away, etc. I honestly don’t see a single bad ting about this (perhaps disable Tomes until you have one character at 80?)

for anyone that has played the game a decent length of time would have amassed a large amount of writs and tomes from log in rewards and daily completions. the only thing that bothers me about making new characters is having to buy new bag slots and gear. tomes of knowledge i tend to have more than i need when combined with level boost scrolls.
