Guild Wars 2

Overall I was very excited for the update, but I am disappointed with one aspect of the new trait system. As others on this thread have mentioned, those of us running characters under 80 feel like we are getting short changed. I scrambled to get my alts to level 40 based on the following quote:

“All major traits will be locked on characters created after the feature pack. All existing characters created before this feature pack will have all previously existing major traits unlocked.”

I spent time completing hearts and maps for experience, spent all my scrolls of knowledge and the gold for the trait guides necessary to get my alts setup so I wouldn’t lose the trait progress that I had. All of my Master level traits, which were unlocked 2 days ago, now won’t be available until level 60!

Did we read this correctly? Should I have them available now? Or, does the above quote mean I don’t have to pay for them when I reach 60? In which case I feel like I wasted my time, scrolls and gold racing to 40.
