How do i get trait points?
You get them rewarded to you as you level, with the first being granted at L30, and then one per every few levels, to a maximum of 14 by the time you reach 80.
It depends on when your hero was created.
If it existed before that latest patch Apr 15 then all traits are unlocked and you just need to level your character up to assign trait points to the traits starting at level 30.
If your hero was created after the April 15 patch then all traits are locked and certain tasks must be performed to unlock them. But you still acquire the trait points as you level starting at level 30. So sorry if your hero is new.
Go to Malchor’s Leap and defend the temple of Lyssa.
(be aware of irony)
but there are so many traits, and a get only 14 points???

Do you mean skill points? You get those at skill challenges and for leveling up.

“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”

Yes. Even in the old system we only got 14 traits, so you must choose what works best with your play style, weapons and utility skills. At least with this new system after the patch is does not cost money or inconvenience to change those traits. Refunding traits and reassigning them does not cost anything and can be done anywhere when not in combat. By limiting the total traits used every mesmer, say, is not configure or built the same. It’s interesting to try different builds to see which you like best for different situations.

You can buy traits. Trait points are relatively low because you are supposed to “build” your character, so figure out what you want to focus on and assign skill and trait points accordingly to the skills and traits you think best complement your playstyle (or help you with any shortcomings you think you have).

You can freely switch between traits when out of combat, so you can experiment with all of them.
However, you can only actually select up to 14 traits to be active at the same time (of which only up to 7 can be major traits).
If indeed you actually meant skills, you can gain skill points indefinitely (1 skill point for each level past 5, and at regular XP interval after you reach level 80), as well as find many skill challenges on the explorable maps. With enough time, you can unlock all healing, utility and elite skills (although you can only equip 1 healing skill, 3 utility skills and 1 elite skill on your skill bar at any one time.)
