Garn.7502 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just curious. I bet everyone has thought about it already. Would it be a good idea or a bad idea if the devs made something that can change your level 80 character's class? I know there are character slots and you can have multiple toons with different classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulvar.1239 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I would rather pay 10 bucks to change my class than pay 10 bucks to rename an old toon so I can reuse the character name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parasite.5389 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 honestly i think it's a bad idea.it's far easier to just build a new character and level or buy a boost, than deal with the host of new customer support issues that would be raised from a Class change item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawdler.8521 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Just like the race change, even if it's technically possible, it goes against the primary monetization method of GW2 characters. Like it or hate it, you're meant to have alts in more slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
