Guild Wars 2

This is a question that has been on my mind lately, ever since they introduced the masteries and made experience redundant (at least until masteries are introduced), at least as far as level 80 characters are involved (accounts for the most of WvW playerbase, at least as far as I’ve seen, excluding Edge of the Mists).

Now that we have the mastery system, it would be logical to merge the wxp abilities into one WvW oriented mastery, and remove wxp, making the experience gained through WvW while at level 80 the only source of mastery experience (would require some balancing as to what gives said experience, same as wxp did), but would create some problems -

• the mastery system is exclusive to HoT owners
• the mastery is gated for lower level characters (unless they have another one that has trained parts of the mastery since they are account wide)
• not being able to change mastery point distributions across different characters .

If wxp stays in the game, with some of the abilities being removed, what will happen to the experience gained while in WvW?

Maybe someone who played WvW during the beta can answer, I haven’t noticed this during beta discussions.

I believe they stated that wxp will remain for wvw but the skills are being reworked.
