I’ll sadly agree with the OP

Hello everyone,
I’ve joined all the beta events, and been playing the game since the 25th of august. Played all the 6 professions out of 8.
So, you have to play with the same 5 skills, from lv1 to the rest of the game, and there is nothing you can do to strengthen your character, skills-wise. Traits don’t make a difference, since they are not skills, so please don’t tell me about it.
I’ll try to be positive, because I believe ArenaNet will be updating the game and changing stuff. I’ll just add things I dislike about the skills sytem, so please “Change with wisdom, but change.”
#You have to use the same 5 skills for the rest of the game, and you can’t even “level” them up. (And think of an Engineer that can only use two type of weapons)
#GW2 can be the only game that an end-game player uses the same skills as a lv1 player. I know you guys wanted to be unique, but this much of difference makes the game un-playable, and boring.
#It is ridiculous that a Ranger has to use greatswords, or a Mesmer “needs” to use dual-swords, or even a Guardian with a Staff, or an Elementalist with dual daggers, seriously? I’d be a Thief if I was going to use daggers to be effective in the game. Why would a Ranger use greatswords to be effective in PvE? Why do longbows suck so much?
Again, I know you guys wanted the game to be unique, but this is too much. And it is not wise to force a player to use an unreal weapon for their profession to be effective at what they do in the game.
Finally, I do not like the skills system, so does many others. Even if not as a player but a custumer, I hope you’ll look into this sometime soon. Because nobody is going to keep on playing the game even for a year. The game gets boring.
Thank you.

Bumping, thanks for the replies guys.
Agreed, but I think many if not most of us at some point have picked a name we thought was fine at the time, but later on thought otherwise.
Exactly.

Hey there everyone,
I’ve sent in a ticket asking if there was a way to change my character’s name. The answer was no, however the GM answering my question said to share this idea in the forums so the dev team could take it in consideration.
So please, let us change our nicks anyhow, in the future.
Here’s the answer I’ve got from GM Onyx,

Greetings,
Thank you for contacting the Guild Wars 2 Support Team! We would like to apologize for the time it has taken to get to your issue. We are experiencing a high influx of tickets regarding character names and wanted to cover the more common ones.
CHARACTER/GUILD/DISPLAY NAME CHANGE
If your character, guild, or display name is less than what you were looking for and do not wish to restart in order to acquire a new name we are unable to offer this service at this time. We understand just how frustrating having a name other than the one you were after can be and ask that you remain patient until we are able to provide such service.
If you would like to make it known that you definitely want this service to be available, the best way to have your feedback or suggestions for Guild Wars 2 reach someone in development is to post it in a public forum like the Official Forums, Twitter, Facebook, or on a Fan Site. The more people who view and comment on it, the more likely developers will take notice.
CHARACTER NAME VIOLATION REPORTS
If you were reporting a character name for violation of our Naming Policy (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-naming-policy/) please use the in game function to do so in the future.
this is done by right clicking on the person’s name in chate and selecting “Report” and then chosing “Bad Name”. These reports are monitored at all times and will be addressed faster than reporting them via the ticketing system.
If your issue was not addressed by this response we apologize for the frustration. Please close out this ticket and open a new one with a more detailed subject line so it is not pulled for responses in the future.
Regards,
GM Onyx
