I think there should be more quests like you get in Yaks bend that you only get if you are a certain profession (primary or secondary). These quests would give you skills just for that profession. This would be a nice way to collect skills from your secondary after you switch. Most quests now to collect skills you cant do since you already did them, so you are forced to buy the skills. If we are allowed to change secondary, then we should have better way to obtain skills for that secondary besides farming for exp and gold to buy them.

It would also give more replayability and more to do in the game.

Ok... but why would you go all the way back to Yak's Bend?

Personaly I have never switched profs so I would not know how this works but from what I have experienced it is not that hard to gain money without farming.

Kool Pajamas is just quoting an example.
Not necessarily Yak's Bends.

However, looking at the current state of Guild Wars, you will notice that the "Profession Specific" quests ends at Yak's Bend.

Long time ago since ANET capped the price of skills at 1,000 gold, they said they would made it easier for us to acquire skill points and skills.

So far I only seen ANET made 'grinding' for skill points a bit easier after your character reaches level 20.

Sure, they added some quests here and there, but that's it.

We can't 'acquire' all 450 skills through quests.

Of course, if you do that story line specific quests, you will acquire the skills for both your primary and secondary professions.

But when I decide to change my secondary profession, I can't learn many new skills, besides purchasing them for 1,000 gold per skill.

/signed for more profession specific quests

Yaks bend is where most of the profession specific quests currently are. I was just saying thats the type of quests we need more of. Trying to gain more skills with new secondaries takes a LONG time, if you want more than just a couple for each.

This would also help make PvE characters more comparable to PvP characters. You can change your build around more easily with more skills available.

I'm not proposing ALL skills be acquired this way, just more. If you put too many as profession specific, it would probably split the community up too much and everyone is doing different quests. Finding people to do the current ones can be tough. Sprinkle them throughout the game.

Oh I see, well I guess more quests would not hurt, as long as they are not the same old thing like "Go kill this guy and bring back his hair." Im bored of bringing people things. So as long as they can keep them intresting I don't see why not.
