Thanks. I’ll pass this on.

So, this is how it works? Cherry pick ONE PERSON’s “list of things I don’t like”, while ignoring 40 pages of really good feedback and ideas? OK. I’m done with this thread.

From this response from JonPeters and his initial post it is obvious that Anet is not going to fix their new leveling process or trait system except the individual tasks themselves.

I’m discouraged since I used to like leveling new alts but can live with just playing my level 80s instead.

To be clear we are looking at the system as a whole but recognize that changing that will take longer than is satisfying and are looking for ways to improve the current system until a time at which we can make a better overall system from the ground up. Specific suggestions on what traits are poorly placed are helpful for #1, specific suggestions on #2 are also welcome but are going to be read but not responded too right now.

In response to your query of how best to improve the current trait system (the quickest and easiest way) is to offer those traits that are most annoying to alts
*Map completion
*Dungeons
*World vs World Vs World Achievements
*Irregularly Spawning Bosses/Bugged Events

at a substantially reduced discount of both gold and skill points at any trait vendor. Perhaps Karma could be used as an alternative currency as players that maintain multiple alts (and thus understand the intricacies of their profession) would posses a surfeit whereas newer players would be introduced slowly to all aspects of the game (but only ONCE )as intended.

The problem is that this “buff” is inherently a band aid on the real problems with a scepter attacks, its incredibly slow projectile speed and pointlessly long casting time. It feels like I’m tearing my own arm off for that third AA. The only reason i can conceive for such an incredibly painful experience is to prevent faster clone generation. Being so slow one would think scepters should hit hard but by far it is the weakest AA in game bar none. It is still the only weapon in the Mesmer kitten nal that can hit over walls (which developers have never seemed fit to address ) and it hits like a kitten . Simply slapping on some torment in hopes some will camp this weapon long enough to see torment stack while removing potent certain clone on death traits in an effort to “balance” PU (whose problem was never conditions) seems hilariously shortsighted and inadequate. The real problem is making alternative builds better.

I am the recipient in question. So far I am able to send but not receive any mail despite switching characters and even re logging. This incident also apparently is specific to me alone as I cannot receive any mail from multiple guildmates.
