I am creating a petition for the Guild Wars Developers. Many have voiced their support and I look to you, the forum viewers, to voice yours.
We want to be able to use class runes other than our own on our armor. We feel this will bring further customization for our characters and new opportunities on the battlefield. For the sake of an example I shall use my character:
Takurami Seishin is an R/A and he wields Shiro's Blades. Now, Shiro's Blades requires a whopping 15 Dagger Mastery to be able to fully benefit from its power. But he cannot attach a Rune of Superior Dagger Mastery to his armor because his primary is Ranger. This is the problem many face and feel it is rather unnecessary.
I am collecting signatures from you, the players, so that Guild Wars Developers will take notice of our call for change. Thank you for your time.
Supporters:
J Havoc
Jenova Sorrowsong
Takurami Seishin
Annon Hellregal
And hopefully more to come...

Don't you think that 55hp monk is enough ? Do you want to make them even more invulnerable ?

Why don't you just switch to A/R instead?
Oh....right....then you will have another Zodiac Recurve Bow of Noob Bashing that has req. 16 Marksmanship. I see.
Seriously, the game has the primary/secondary profession mechanic for a reason, ok?

There are daggers with the exact same stats as Shiro's Blades, complete with a nice, low req! Find some. If it's all about the skin, I say that's your own problem and stop being so vain. Either that, or make an A/R and problem solved.
Off to start my petition thread for Anet to give us 8 more skill slots, because 8 is not enough... /sarcasm

Pick up Chkkr's Pincers, which have the exact same stats except that they deal piercing instead of slashing damage... Oh, and they have a 9 Dagger Mastery requirement.

yeah this is a bad idea, then theres no point in having a Necro as an MM, u could have an ele MM instead with 15 death then, that makes no sense at all, if u just think about the logic of having second professions and why they dont let u use runes from professions other then ur own it makes alot of sense.

Wow I hadn't the slightest idea that the guild wars community could be this jerky. He had an idea that he threw out there. At the most giving the weapon suggestions or valid reasons why it isn't a good idea, but that much unnecessary rudeness is ridiculous. If you think about it the concept of using your secondary professions runes is not illogical. After all you can use teh skills and you can put max skill points into them. You wouldn't be able to put a rune in the primary ability anyways. So seriously get over yourselves and show a litlle common curtousy.

The real reason behind this petition is the guy want to be a wannabe scimitars dual-wielder ranger like Drizzt.

As for the rudeness, such is life. Not everybody's going to sit around and coddle people. It's worse in real life, if internet bothers you so much you're really going to have a hard time in the real world.

The reason for the hostile response from others is no surprise. Throwing out ideas is one thing but he is actually trying to make this a part of the game with this petition and if it were to happend I would quit playing. If you coudl use rune on your secondary there would be virtually no reason to choose one class over the other minus the apperance and inherent ability of that character. I see no problem what so ever with not being able to use ruins on your secondary esp sup runes.

You can petition all you want, but simply put, ANet is not going to do what a petition says if it unbalances the game or goes against their vision for the game, regardless of how many signatures are on it.
A better choice would have probably been to create a thread to discuss the subject (which this will probably turn into anyways) and discuss the pros and cons of it. If ANet reads the discussion and sees that it's a good idea, and sees that people are in favor of it, they might consider it. A flat-out petition with no real reasoning behind is not as likely to recieve much attention.

Both runes and primary attributes are key to the balance between the classes. Take one or both away and that balance will collapse.
And Shiro's Blades is a very bad example, especially since you could simply use a different green with the exact same stats except that they require 8 instead of 15. Problem solved.

There's a reason they're called "Primary" and "secondary" professions. If you want to get the max use out of daggers & assassin skills? Make a primary Assassin.

"Signet of Dissapproval"
while I like the idea in that little fantasy work where I kill everything. As been stated, it's not a good thing balence wise.
HOWEVER. I think every single person who has flamed the OP should be ashamed, and re-examine their tolerance levels.
In addition, the example provided by the OP was probably just that. An example, but of course everyone pints it in the worst light possible. Yet another thing to be ashamed of.
I'm sure the mods will role in with the tanks any moment now.

But you're right, I didn't think about it... because you don't need to give any thought to come up with the obvious answer....

Does-it-Matter
As has been said, and apparently needs to be reiterated, this isn't a good idea.
You're adding possibly nine more points to attributes. Think of all the 55 builds that would pop up if this was implimented. While yes, it could have possitive effects, I don't feel it would outway the downside.
---
Now, as a side note. To my knoweldge, the only person "flaming" (and by that, I mean coming close if you have a VERY thin skin...) is Cacheelma.
Seriously people, a statement that goes against yours is NOT a flame. It's called criticism. Flaming involves personal attacks. And by personal attacks, I mean off topic. Harsh criticism, is still criticism.
Additional side note... if you say something extremely stupid like "babies taste better after they've been in a blender" expect to be the subject of off topic criticism.
This has been a small dip into the real world. Thank you, and I return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Although I do not agree with the petition, I find it pathetic the adverse and negative remarks by some of the people answering.
LOL.
get a grip man, I would like to see you say that face to face in real life as it is so easy to hide behind your monitor and slag off this person who has merely made a suggestion.
By the way, now you have somebody else to slag off now and please do lol.

I still stand by my original statement. If you can't handle people's bad attitudes on the internet, how the hell do you manage in real life? The real world is much, much worse and people will say it to your face. People that you can't turn around and "tell off", less you lose, say, your job. Grow a thicker skin, deal with it.

"Secondary" profession are called secondaries for a reason. A R/A is not supposed to be as a good with daggers as a A/R for example.

Also, I think you should get rid of the names of other people who agree. Y'know, to save them from embarassment.
