Guild Wars 2

Create a way to retrait without having to go to the Class specific trainer.
2 Ways to implement:

1. Going to hero panel and having a button at the top (like spvp) that allows you to refund your traits. Obviously this wouldn’t be free, it currently costs 3.5s.
   This method is more convenient BUT would cost more say 10s?
   This creates a gold sink and allows for player convenience.

Or if you want to make money on this convenient feature, you could make it like the Copper Fed Salvage-o-matic. Put it in the gemstore for 500-1000gems.
Where you buy the item from the Gem store “Book of Training” or whatever kind of name you want to give it. Once you use this it allows you to re-trait but costs you 10s.
Or this item when you double click it, it binds the item to your account giving you that “refund traits” button. With the same fee of 10s.
Feel free to send me 10% of the income this item brings in

1. Make it a consumable that costs 10s ea. That you can use to retrait.

I like your idea of this book(even more if it’s a gem store item) but almost tripling its re-traiting price isn’t a good idea but say up it to 5s or 6s is possibly a better choice

Yes the cost was is really up to Anet to decide I was just throwing out numbers

Buying it from the gem store and then have a smashing fee on top of it is too much. You don’t gain much if you spend so much on something that actually affords you very little convenience. First you pay through money or gold to get it then more gold to use it, all it actually does is allow you to do it anywhere. That isn’t worth the cost to most people.

or have build templates like gw1 had!

Traits were not implemented to be changed often or constantly which is why those that retrain your traits are only available in certain places which require a traveling fee to reach that location and an additional fee to retrain your traits which is already quite low.

You can already change your major traits quite easily so in my opinion I disagree with the idea of allowing access to a way to reset your traits without visiting a retrainer npc.

However, instead of the current idea would it not be easier to just create a version of the Merchant Express consumable item that summons a Retrainer npc that your party is able to use. It would be much easier to implement that way though I still disagree with the overall idea.
