[ STORY - PROFESSIONS - IDEA ]

Hi,

May suggest to ARENANET an idea for next addon:
Each elite-specialization (like a weaver if POF) should not be obtained automatically on start,it should be a specific story/quests for each specialization, may be some type of training, etc, for deeper immersion into game,It should be relatively hard to achieve some skills/elite skills, may be distribute them via story as well, to give players a feeling of real progression through the addon,and it will give additional meaning to the story as well to feel it more personal .

I like the way it is now better

I dont think they should lock the specs behind quests or anything else beyond what exists. How they are set up is healthier for the game (a lot of people just want to get going and Anet seem to want that too). Id rather see such an idea implemented as an option side quest, poss as part of obtaining the ascended item.

The idea has been suggested before though, but it is historically been more work than theyve had time to deliver, although PoF did at least bring specific elite prof npcs to give dialogue flavour for each.
