Guild Wars 2

So I don’t know how you guys feel but I really like the changes they’re making to traits to turn them into specialization and such, but I’m wondering what will happen when heart of thorns comes out to the vanilla players. I mean let’s face it I probably will get it but if I didnt, would my trait system be overhauled into specializations too, and if not how will the game balance vanilla trait system vs HoT specialization traits?

As I read it you would get the new trait changes but not the Elite Specialization things (those that changes the professions), if you do not have HoT.

the trait system will still be overhauled for players without HoT, but they will not have access to the Elite specialization.

Okay that makes sense, also leaves a good reason to buy heart of thorns, besides the extra content I mean
