Anet recently made some polls on guru and asked what people would buy for guildwars (mugs, t-shirts, mice, etc...).

Lets say there are no more expansions to guildwars...

But anet decides to make a 'skill' expansion. It would probaly be something like 250 skills that you get when you buy the pack. They would all be new skills, and they made it something like "15 skills per profession, 10 elites per profession" and they sold this pack for lets say... $10 USD.

The question isn't if they would ever make one... but if they DID, would you buy it?

I think the idea would be great... mainly for anet who would reap in cash for not having to do much. It would also be cool if they added some of the skills in the sugesstions forum and such. Or, they could have a contest and the top 10 skills made by GW players recieve a prize (minipet or something)

no cuz they make it overpowered to get us and then nerf month later

Malice Black · Feb 09, 2008, 04:09 PM // 16:09

Not balanced for PvP = never happen

i myself would hav to pass on this. i switched from playing gw daily to every once in a while. so i could not see myself buying extra skills.

I'd have to agree with this statement so /not signed

Not a chance. Still, when they do nerf it and people complain about how they paid real money for it, that thread will be one hell of a read.

freaky naughty · Feb 09, 2008, 04:15 PM // 16:15

Way unbalanced, and once those skills are nerfed people will be hanging themselves with grief for buying them.

you would buy it and just have all skills unlocked? that would make it way too easy to start new chat with 10 elite skills availible + so many other skills

if elites wouldnt be unlocked you would have to cap it... which would require new boss... and bosses are accessible for all players... it would just mess everything up^^

NoXiFy · Feb 09, 2008, 04:24 PM // 16:24

Well, they'd OBVIOUSLY still be balanced and stuff. Or they'd at least try to make it so.

Malice Black · Feb 09, 2008, 04:30 PM // 16:30

Unless the skills were available to PvP chars from the offset, it just isn't feasible.

Remember, most skill balances are made due to PvP. Some skills get buffed/nerfed because of PvE, but not many.

The only viable solution would be to make them like the current PvE skills.

C2K · Feb 09, 2008, 04:31 PM // 16:31

Don't need skills, but more dungeons please

OOshadeOO · Feb 09, 2008, 04:34 PM // 16:34

Are you referring to this thread?

Because the OP date isn't exactly what I would call recent. 4-06-2007

I would like some more bling and some new area to open up on the current maps. I wonder if some GW customers that know how mod could make some new content and of course be finalized by Anet.

1 up and 2 down · Feb 09, 2008, 04:39 PM // 16:39

Why do you think they didn't add very many PvP "legal" skills? It's because there are so many skills ingame already that it was getting hard to try to balance them all. So its not going to happen, hell would probably freeze over before they released an expansion like that.

Nevin · Feb 09, 2008, 06:16 PM // 18:16

They'd sell it for 30-40 dollars.. Not 10 USD.

Skyy High · Feb 09, 2008, 07:55 PM // 19:55

They're moving to GW2 partly because GW is so bloated with skills as-is right now. Adding more skills? Not happening.

Lord Sojar · Feb 09, 2008, 08:13 PM // 20:13

No, GW1 has enough skills, too many in fact. Everyone complains that Izzy is bad at balancing, but you have to remember that if he changes one skill, that skill might then synergize with 20 others through some freakish combo, and become IMBA. Izzy does a great job if you really think about it, with all the skills he has to think about. Some nerfs might be a bit harsh here and there, but in the end, who cares? The buffs mix things up.

We don't need more skills, we need less.

Winterclaw · Feb 09, 2008, 08:21 PM // 20:21

What we really need is to toss all the skills out of the window and start from scratch. I mean what good is more skills or less if the skills are still fundementally messed up as a group. If they did delete some skills a ton of them would have to get tossed out and then you'd have everyone complaining about lost money and skill points.

And we need Anet to give Izzy some help.

Antheus · Feb 09, 2008, 08:43 PM // 20:43

They should just add more titles. Skills require fore-thought, balancing, testing, art, animations, ..... And then, people develop new meta-game in 2 hours and start crying for nerfs.

Titles on the other hand take a few hours to create and keep masses busy for months.
