TLDR;
We added this system as a direct result from the horizontal progression CDI. We are always reading your feedback, however, we don’t always have time to respond right away or action it quickly. We updated some trait unlocks in the past but we can do more. How can you help?
1) Give us a list of the most offensive trait unlock locations.
2) Keep giving feedback and be patient as this is a big ship and it takes time to steer it.

I still feel like you went and fixed something that wasn’t broken. The acquisition of new traits and points wasn’t exactly fast with the old system, even though it started at level 10. Also I don’t agree with you 100% that the new system was asked by the players on the CDI.

Here’s again my bullet points to take the best things from both systems:

- Start giving trait points at level 10. 1 point every five levels. Shouldn’t overwhelm anyone!
- Make ONLY grandmaster traits acquired with the new system. Give Adept and Master the same way as the old system, automatically. Additionally, you can make GM traits harder to acquire since they are meant to be powerful.

Again, with the new system you more or less removed fun experimentation from traits. People get what they want to use and leave others.

Sticky dev posts at the top of discussion threads with Arenanet’s stance on the thread topic would be great, but only be of some value, if you keep them reasonably current. If you create them not only for the next 2 weeks, but for the long term.

From the past communication initiatives, I learnt that the dev attention to such things is only a few weeks. This is too short.

So, please either be committed to create and keep those posts current for the long term, or not create them at all. But if you abandon it after a few weeks, it is like all those other failed communication initiatives from the past: pointless, a waste of your time and a waste of our trust and expectations.
