I think Guild Wars should sell an option to make pvp only characters into pve characters. I base this purely on the fact that a lot of players have pvp characters that are older than 1 year and they don't want to delete them to make a pve character. Example, i have a pvp only assassin that is 2 years old and i would love to make it into a pve character.
Guild Wars offers other make overs for characters such as changing the name and appearance. Why not changing a pvp character into a pve character? I'm not saying you will get an instant level 20 character to play pve on. You would have to level it all the same but the age remains the same along with earned reward armors/weapons if you have bought any with pvp reward points.
Option to turn PvP chars into PvE chars

So if u have to level up after change to PvE... and u need to buy new armor and weapons than why dont you just delete the pvp char and create a new pve char (That looks the same, is named the same). Maybe when you /age there's no more 24Months but who cares?

Because in 12 months time he wants a third birthday present and not a crappy first year one.
But this wouldnt be a bad idea, maybe 1-2 things to work out like restricting their max armour / weapons until they are level 20 or something.
Think id /sign this idea

pvp reward points...pvp character.... hmmm stop whining people really everyday there's some whine thread "how come we can't...enter bullshit here" STOP... really STOP they aren't going to accommodate you in guild wars ONE. So the whole suggestion thing is really silly all together.
I'ts like might as well open a thread asking "what do you wish would happen?"
I wish butterflies and flowers would float around my ass when I used the /fart command"
yea perty buttflies

wouldn't be a bad idea, on the condition that everything will be reset except profession, name and age and that you start off like a newly created PvE char
lompos
agrees with Dre, if only name, age and profession remain, i don't see a problem

I have a concern with what's in the bold. Sure, you're paying for it, so I would think that people aren't going to try doing this too often, but you're getting the chance to buy prestige armor and extremely rare weapons with real life money. Also, you didn't mention skills, but just about every long time PvPer will have unlocked all skills available, so you're also paying to have every single skill on your character unlocked, if you're not going to suggest that skills also get reset. Both of these points become even more problematic with the possibility to porting characters with these benefits into pre-Searing.
The only kind of PvP to PvE move I'd be comfortable with is maintaining a character's name, age, and campaign of creation. They would have to lose everything else on the way - skills, equipment, titlepoints, items, etc.

this way, a lot of people would just create PvP elite armors and weapons, switch to PvE, rush to lvl 20 and have a full set of elite armor and rare weapons, as well as having (nearly?) every skill unlocked

Also, the skills are already unlocked. If i unlock a skill using balthazar faction it is unlocked account wide. So i think you misunderstood me. I am not saying the char would have all the skills that have been unlocked. I am saying it would be like a new char where you could buy tomes so you have access to the skills that are unlocked.

I agree with Shayne here on the whole idea of porting the name/age/campaign. The main reason you would not want to re-roll the character is because of it's age. Granted people change their minds on things over the course of time (e.g. their character's sex, looks) which ANet have implemented a change function for us, at a cost.
I could see ANet being the same with this. Put in place the PvP/E port functionality (more costly micro transactions again) compared to leave as is and let the player choose if he/she wishes to buy another character slot. Either way, more revenue for ANet - the second being at no cost to them.

on a side not buy a char slot...no real need for something that basically already exists in another form...as your asking to be able to hold onto the /age you can do that by buying a char slot and putting your new and improved char in there...and not deleting your char with the /age you want

Personally /notsigned.
Make another char, delete your PvP one buy a slot, whatever. The end result is exactly the same minus the fact when you type /age and /deaths the numbers are different.
Also it states quite clearly that you are making a PvP Only Character I mean come on ... doesn't get much more obvious than that.

Terrible Suggestion strikes back.
Seriously there's no need for all the mess and implementation issues when you can just buy a character slot for a new pve char and keep the old pvp one as a mule/presents or even *gasp* pvp char.
Also, Birthday presents are near worthless, unopened 3rd year are dirt cheap and 4th are following them shortly with the massive influx of thrm coming this month.
But I feel you want some more exploitable stuff from this, not a present worth 10k. You want the free/cheap easy perfect weapons for your pve including skins that cant be obtained in pve or ones that cost 1000s of ectos.
Nothing good can be said about this Terrible Suggestion, so /NOTSIGNED

PvP rewards should stay in PvP, we get the benefit of being able to create many items that PvE characters do not have access to. Asides from them being comparitively a lot cheaper in general.

And yeah, I don't see why you'd keep a PvP character that long. I remake them whenever I feel like playing a different profession.

Want to keep the old pvp one -> don't delete it!
simple!
All you want is to get easy perfect rare items you got for RPs (probably for free from XTH anyway) on a PvE char.
LAME!
The only way this 'suggestion' would be acceptable is to make the PvP items unusable in PvE, but then the whole suggestion does NOTHING useful that's not already possible by simply buying a char slot and creating a new PvE (except the name but that's also something you can fix with some $$$ and you wanted your suggestion to be a microtransaction option anyway).

The only way I would ever agree to this is if the age, inventory, and skills of the pvp char were completly reset.
