I want to start out by saying that I'm not perfect. I've read over the update page a few times but it is possible that I've missed something that adresses the issue I'm concerned with. Now that that's aside.
I understand that Anet is working on progressing both PvP and PvE but is this update separating them too much? What I mean by this is how the PvP pack will affect people who use PvE chars in PvP. As a reasonably casual player, I'd much rather prefer to pay the $40 to buy all the skills and such needed to stay competitive. What I fear, however, is that all my current PvE chars capable of PvPing will become obsolete. I think this will happen to many people in two ways.
Firstly, the are only two ways of acquiring skills in-game. By unlocking them for the whole account with the use of balthazars faction, or unlocking them through PvE via skill trainers, quests, ect. What I don't want to see is someone who has a few PvE chars geared for PvP, only to find that the meta shifts to the usage of many Nightfall skills that he has no access to. Without the Nightfall campaign, Prophecies/Factions PvE characters will have no way of acquiring Nightfall skills. Since they are PvE characters, balthazar's faction is also useless for skills because faction unlocks for the whole account and not individual characters.
Although the first problem may not seem like that big of a deal due to skill replications and just playing without a few skills but that's ignoring elites. The only ways of getting elite skills are capping them in PvE or using balths faction. Both of which are completely useless for Proph/Factions PvE characters for the reasons I described above.
Basically what I want to know is if there will be a system that allows people who own Prophecies and/or Factions who buy the Nightfall PvP Pack that allows their existing characters access to the skills they paid for. If there isn't anything that makes this possible, then paying for a PvP is worthless unless you don't have any PvPable PvE characters. Of course, there's also the possibility that I'm an idiot and completely skipped over something that adresses this. I don't mean this topic as an insult to anyone at Anet or anything, I would just like to know if people like me would be able to buy the PvP Pack without crippling their existing characters.
