unsigned because u need to earn your fame.

Those titles are account based anyway, this makes no difference.

Lovely.

Oh, ic, the TRUE skill in PvP is basically to do pointless stuff!

hard to program, as you would still need to refresh the page to change the chars apperance, attributes, and armour. in theory if they werent working on gw2 this would be possible, but as many updates have been shoved aside, which were needed badly i doubt they would put any effort into this.

I dont think someone spend time to choose best hair skin tone face for his PvP character so for a new PvP character all you need is 20 sec to delete and 30-35 sec to amke a new one. Lets say 1 minute + typing you character name twice.
You can save build templates. You can save equippment templates. Loading this will take a few sec.

So just 2 minutes. Then why do we need a primary profession changer? Jsut for a minipet every 12 months?

id agree if equip templates saved multiple weapon sets, but they don't.

i like this idea even though it would be hard to implement--and thats my only concern. if i had to recommend an alternative suggestion, it would be for equip templates to save all 4 weapon set slots.

It takes like 2 minutes to make a new PvP character and then another 3 minutes to change equipment. You can't be that serious? You could even subtract the 2 mins for equipment by saving Templates.

I stick with account-wide customization.

If you have 10 different characters and cash to pay for Makeups, the only real difference i equipment.

That's why, all in all, the only thing left is equipment.

This is a great suggestion IMHO..far more useful, and maybe not so hard to implement.

Now you can start another thread, with a poll maybe..

Login to GW.
Select PvP char.
Click delete. Type char name. Copy paste char name, then hit Delete confirmation.
Click create. Click through campaign/gender/appearance screen (4 clicks, including profession selections, 5 if you need a factions or NF specific one). Copy paste char name. Confirm. Done.

It is of course totally respectable and reasonable to demand the dev team go through hours and hours of work so that the fat and lazy of this world would not have to hit their left mouse button a staggering 9 times and type a maximum of 19 characters twice.
