Guild Wars 2

I like it, but there’s one problem I have. With all the traits/trinkets you could create, eventually people may find that “Oh hey, the human god item works great for warriors!” Soon you’ll find that all humans would be warriors, removing from the dispersion of professions across the races. Or, even worse, one item/trait could reign supreme over all of them, and simply be better, removing all incentive to go to any other race.

If this is going to be done, it needs to be done in such a manner that there is no difference between each race’s bonus, to deter profession/race skewing due to favorable attributes on said race.

Just a little thought here, but I was killing a veteran monster the other day and looking at it’s portrait in the target display when I started thinking. The bronze/silver/gold/purple border on each monster could be neat to see on players, but instead of reprisenting rank, maybe it could represent the character’s Order. An example would be something like crossed telescopes or a book page wreath for the Durmand Priory, crossed rifles or swords for the Vigil, and daggers for the Order of Whispers.

Furthermore, these could even be turned into title material, with different borders for different accomplishments. For instance, your basic border would come from simply joining the order, and a new border could appear each time you get promoted in the story line. What’s even better, in future content updates, if they expand upon the orders, the missions and achievements for that content could unlock new borders.

Checked my account settings, and sure enough, same problems for me

Not present on Northern Shiverpeaks. Kinda annoying ‘cause I can feel the token burning a hole in my character’s pocket
