Having completed my lvl 80 mesmer on the old system, I find that the new trait system is very restrictive. I love that it encourages you to explore the world more and this new system has definitely caused me to experience parts of the game that I have never seen before, in this matter it is extremely successful. However, when you reach level 30 and are allowed to now unlock traits, I struggled a lot because, all of the traits I wanted were deep in the level 50-60 zones. Although I tried to sneak through them with a group of friends to unlock the traits we wanted, the 30 level difference was a little too much for us. As such, even though the traits unlock at level 30, because I do want to do the exploration part, it feels like I am stuck waiting to level 60. Furthermore, many of WvW traits that are easy to get even at level 1 are master level and cant be accessed until level 60 anyway. Personally I find this very frustrating. If we were to rework which events tied to which traits a little bit to make it more accessible I would find this much more fun.
