Maybe the update notes are bugged.

People think it's a bug because it wasn't in the update notes when i first posted it, among other things that Anet added later on.

Guess this is it then, officialy a new feature.

*slaps Anet around a bit with a large trout*

NO! That's not the case. ANet never designed the game that way. Skills are skills and it shouldn't matter which ones you have on your character - just the ones you have as the player.

No skill is meant to "replace" or "upgrade" another.

This is a new Feature feature AN released. The skill trainers offer you all non-elite skills that you have unlocked on your account.

If its not a bug it sucks, I had to run all over the world to find the skills I needed for the builds I wanted, I had to do the missions to get to the next towns and then fight my way to the next place the skill trainers were, If this was like this from the get go, at least on my 3rd lvl 20 I would have just gotten all the skills I wanted in ascalon city.

Ember Light Camp is still a very popular place to go to get skills that you haven't unlocked. So no, you do still need Ember Light Camp.

And, the general misconception that every skill trainer is like Ember Light Camp...
It is only for the skills you already have, so you can't get EVERYTHING in Lion's Arch. N8DOGG, your work was not in vain as you wouldn't have been able to get them in Ascalon anyways.

Plus they still cost skill points: it's not like you can just post-sear and buy all the skills, however rich you are.

I fail to see the problem. If it's a skill you've actually gotten in another character because you want to use it in that character, why not be able to buy it for a skill point for another character?

If it's a skill that you're Level 20 in another class doesn't really want, but buys just to unlock it for a second char -- well, then you're spending TWO skill points on something that if you do it the slow way will cost at most one.

I'm considering buying a couple of the basis MM skills for my elementalist and then for the MM who just got to Lion's Arch, but the elementalist doesn't have an unlimited supply of skill points, and he hasn't yet acquired every last skill that he might some day buy himself.

Besides, other things are at least as imbalancing. Can first time chars easily afford a Drok's run and Drok's armor before they've earned it?

And since top of the line weapons only req 9, even characters at Level 7 or so can use them. My MM was given a collector's staff with +10 AL the moment he got to Post-. Imbalancing? You be the judge.
