Oddly, it isn't what Guild Wars is about and never has been. The majority of the game has always been level 20 content. New campaigns cater to max level players, and GW:EN was exclusively for max level players. The leveling treadmill really is arbitrary.

You can't possibly be serious. Nearly every RPG ever made gives you experience for completing quests. The Unique thing about Guild Wars is that leveling is completely irrelevant for the majority of the game.

Then you can. In games that have implemented this, players are free to start from the beginning. Think of it as allowing profession respecs. Once we've decided that it's ok to change attributes, skills, and secondary profession, what's so magical and holy about the primary profession?

Again, drops still occur. We already have a system where drops are prestige value only, req 9 max damage items are available cheaply and readily.

They can and are removing the unlock system for PvP in GW2. Unlocks are possibly the dumbest thing added to PvP, and an unneeded additional obstacle for newer players.

It's not just Xbox 360, it's showing up in almost all games these days. It's a pretty good idea, when you think about it.

Spirits would just be meaningless lore to throw on top of a useful gameplay element. If you'd like, call it a profession change. It's the same concept.

Hi. Challenge Missions.

I like the Running Mode Idea.

As for the rest....

...It wouldn't be GW anymore, it'd be a completely new game. Oh and as for that spirit thing you were talking about....interesting, think it'd be a bit difficult to grasp at first though, wouldn't want it implemented though.

Good ideas, requires more thought.

You have to take into account your opinions and the community as a whole. I hate grinding, but there's a bunch of Koreans who love to grind. (Don't tell me I'm racist, I'm half southern Korean.) So, the grinding titles are something to do because they have the accomplished feeling after kicking your ass in PvP while having thirty maxed titles...

Anyway, I would love to have content be released monthly without the extra fees because I'm cheap, but things like the Bonus Mission Pack, I wouldn't mind paying for. Just, I would like a massive killing game mode. Anything for PvPers who don't want to think or organize and go massively kill things. I'd say groups of four go into a game with up to 24 players (six groups of four) to massively kill. Each one with a different colored cape. You go in to murder. That's it. First to 25 kills, or the most kills after ten minutes gets a gladiator point. Lots of NPC's and screw up factors. Make it like Mario Kart. You may be in first place, but there can be something done to screw your ass into third or fourth.

GO, GO, GO ANET! MORE PVP OPTIONS!

That made me think instantly of Survive or Die from Pristontale, now THAT implemented in GW would be damn fun. That'd be a good guild activity, then again it might be ruled by farmers and might become a new way to make money which might screw the economy that GW apparently has even more...

Great now you just need to code it and get the game produced.

A brief point. The spirit idea, is really just changing professions and some more focus on account titles. The new thing I how I tried to make it work with the lore. I think the idea is pretty good for making the lore make sense while still being able to delete create characters at will.

I want to remove the focus on single characters and make there mere representations of the spirit i.e. the player. But if you want to focus the character, you don't have to delete it.
