I think it would be cool to have the ability for players to teach other players skills. The learner would give a skill point to the teacher, and it would be added to their skill point count, and the teacher could charge for the service, just like a skill trainer. The advantage to this is that you might get a discount on skills, it would add more skill point shuffling since they would be exchanged by players, and you could find skills with players that you couldn't find with a skill trainer(these would probably be more valuable to the consumer). Some people might think it makes obtaining skills a little too easy, but I think it adds more player interaction and marketing to the game.

Yay for free unlocks. Just gotta have enough gold and buy all the skills off your friend who has ember light camp.

Not to mention incredible inflation in the 'skill point economy'

Hope to see those gem back someday....

/no

The reasons are quite obvious..first off, you should have to work for your skills, not just have a friend with every skill unlocked and you having enough skill points to get them all from him

/yes, charge 1k for each skill this way, dont have the skill point transfer to the teacher, No money to the teacher, and no elites can be taught.

I think done rightly this is a great idea to handle the terrible and boring skill grind GW has.

Ever played City of Heroes?
I didnt.

But I heared it has an interesting sidekick-system, where your low-level Superhero/-villian can become the sidekick of a higher leveled one, and do quests/missiones/whatever together that benefit both!

I could imange an apprenticeship system (with some limitations and regulations).
An addition for Pve that is NOT grind...
