Hey there devs, I’d like to ask you if you could make a new category in forums considering new professions?
There are tons of new and promising professions being invented as I type this, but there’s a severe problem with this. Most of these professions focus on being implemented in expansions, and are therefore a long-term project. I think it would be a shame to let all these good ideas go to waste because the general suggestions spam them to the background.

Therefore I’ve made a short list here of all interesting professions players have come up with. Attention: I do NOT claim any credit for these ideas, all credits go to the players who invented them!

If I have failed to get all the threads you think are important here, please add them in a response and I’ll update it. Please don’t start adding ideas that resemble the ideas stated above very much, cause they won’t really be an addition, rather a copy or an already existing profession idea.

Don’t let all these good ideas go to waste!

I would be open to a profession suggestion forum. Only problem I see is 99.99% of them not being taken since there is hardly even room for 1 more profession with how much the pre-existing professions can do already.

I think there would be at least some space for a new soldier class (e.g. the Reaper and the Inquisitor)

nah i don’t think you need that as it is all here already. You can continue to post here in the suggestions forum with the rest of the suggestions. No need for another forum too many as it is with not enough control for the posters.

Thanks for listing my Dragoon, albeit you missed my Visionary (however, haven’t had yet the time to post more details to it, as detailed like my Dragoon is)
Later I’ll update it, for now I put my priority firstly to my Guild Concept Thread, because I think, thats by now the biggest thing, that needs improvements, over adding new classes.

A profession suggestion specific sub forum wouldn’t change anything, believe me Sirendor. As long as the developers find it not important enough to take a look at the suggestions here in a kind of constant fix time pattern, it will be regardless, if those ideas stand here, or somewhere else.
As long none of them is insterested in overviewing the ideas every now and then sometimes, it plays no role.
It’s sad, because thats basically also the job of the community managers to be more of a bridge between community and developers to help those “hot discussed” ideas, so those, which have a very good resonance in the community, those which have thousands over thousands of views and a healthy discussion running in them, that these threads get no help to reach they eyes of a developer, when they self have nearly no time to look into the forums or say by them self, that that can’t answer to many threads, because their shear massive amount of them is too much for them (what is normal somewhere)

But threads liek this make things a bit more overviewaable. When a thread like this, with a compendium of profession sugesstions would be made as sticky by a forum moderator and actualized by the moderators every say week for example, then this would be a great help and developers would have it easier to see in 1 view, what the community wants most, just by seeing what kind of similar profession suggestions are listed up ion that by moderators actualized list most oftenly….

So if they look into the list and see in there like 1 profession, which is by similar concepts (class names) dominating all others, then you can clearly see, what alot of people want more.

If you would see in such a list like 10+ very similar profession suggestions with different namings over all others, which have only like 1 to 2 threads beign either alone, or having only 1 similar suggestinos, then I think this is a clear community statement, once 1 class suggestion keeps reappering constnly over a longer time again and again …

Currently the wish for a 3rd soldier class is the most biggest. anet would be blind, if they wouldn’t recognize this.

Personally I like the idea behind sub classes ~ quoted from Chris Whiteside
