Reverse these gated changes aimed towards the mentally handicapped because I can assure you the vaaaaaaaaaast majority of your playerbase aren’t so! Thanks for reading!

This sums it up as I just got to play my norn… played her until lv 5, and got tired of her not getting anything good. Level gating is the equivalent of a cheap shot in a fight. I do NOT appreciate this level gating kitten. Your team needs to get their kittens on fixing this or reversing this altogether.

Another cheap shot is allowing your players to still buy minis, but force them into a busy map so not even the user can see their own minis. I know some people swear they can see their own mini, but I however, have not been able to whenever they force my mini into hiding. I do not like switching maps. I do not like this level gating, and I do not like my money being wasted on minis that no one, not even myself, will ever see.

Just roll it back, easy fix. Or keep the things people like and rid us of this crud.

The NPE is insulting. What happened to the stance that the China release wouldn’t affect us?

These are, as many have said, changes that almost nobody wanted or asked for.

As a veteran player since beta, I shouldn’t have to wade through a hand-holding-pile-of-garbage to level a new alt. And neither should anybody else.

Please roll this back.

I agree with this, I have friends that are brand new to this game and I’m helping them (using my alts.) But this new patch totally made them almost quit. My friends have never played much before this patch; they already are so done with it coming back to find this level gating crud.

Roll. It. Back.

However, the only cool things are the collections and the minis’ wardrobe.

By contrast, the trait point acquisition curve is just awful, IMO. No points until 30 and then one point every six levels feels terrible.

It isn’t so much a question of whether it makes a significant difference in game play, but that it is a huge hit to the perception of increasing character power. I enjoy leveling because I enjoy watching my character grow and expand her skill set. Now, a new level is a huge yawn. Instead of a fun journey to level cap, now it feels like a slog, with new shinies few and far between. You shouldn’t go more than 2-3 levels with nothing to show for it, IMO.

This pretty much sums it up for my concerns as well. The way I know have to wait 6 levels before trait points; this is really a downer for my leveling experience as a whole.
I have no problem with working hard but this seems a bit much.
