One of the biggest draws to the Hero idea to me is searching for all the available hero's in NF. Not even considering the problems that would arrise with abuse and general "it's not fair" complaints...

IF AND ONLY IF:

-They just took heros and made it look like your other character, with name and appearance but you would have the items and skills that your real character had.
-Only the character you are actually really playing can progress through the game, complete quests, move to new areas, and gain experience. In effect making the other you's just like henchmen (when you get to a place where there is level 20 hench)

then i would sign this. but this is beyond nightfall being that the storyline is already setup. Perhaps in the next campaign, instead of having henchmen (unless you have no other characters), your other characters would show up near exits. And you can control them just like you can heros.

it's a nice idea solely for the purpose of being in a group and not having 2 koss dudes running around. i personally would find that to be incredibly limiting (or expensive) as i have unlocked every skill in the pre-nightfall game. i don't have all the secondary skills on my characters.

frankly, the heroes we have are awesome. just goes to show that the ai is well-made, anet just doesn't know how to put together a toolbar for their hench. i've only gotten koss and the grody monk but they're out of control (and frankly the grody monk does a great job managing his energy as a bonder/boon prot).

plus i wouldn't trade koss' awesome hair for the world.

I never said anything about loot, XP, etc. Your heroes already get all your unlocked skills, gear you give them, and armor that scales. The only complication is they level up. A photocopy hero of your own chars, I see no harm. Even if you could just bring them as they are once you reach level 20 I'd be happy. Find solutions to the hiccups, don't scrap the whole project because of one small detail.

Won't happen.
Could never work, there would be too limitations to make it fun and enjoyable.
The benefits of having all your chars in a party would get nerfed after release, farming, powerlvling.
Wouldn't work
Anet won't do it.

On the flip side, I'd like to bring my Heros with my Character to other campaigns, so they could help me out on any Mission that I would need them in.
