Poll: Should Heroes be Added to Equalize the Number of each Profession Available to 3?
Yes
No
Neutral
Other
Currently There are 7 Professions with 3 Heros. On the Other Hand there are only 2 heros for the professions Assassin, Ritualist, and Mesmer. Thus adding 3 new heroes(sin, rit and mes) would equalize all 10 professions with 3 heroes each.

I miss read the question and voted no. I meant yes. With Merc Heroes out, everyone should get the opportunity to get as many profession of heroes as they want through gameplay. Up to 7 at least.
Edit:
What would your picks be for the new heroes to be...Assassin, Ritualist, and Mesmer?
Suun would be first on my list for Rt. I dont care what profession they are but I always liked the skin for Jei Zohn and Guwon the Wise. And I always wanted a Blimm hero so he could quote office space while I'm on VQ. Although any generic Hero skin will do, I always wanted a melee Asura Hero.
How would the change benefit you?
Players will stop bitching about Merc Heroes being unfair.
Why do you support this change?
See above answer.

Isn't 7 heroes enough of an update?
I think we are just getting a little too much like prima donna's.
Next thing will be we wont want to fight Abbadon in case we break a nail.

I voted yes, mostly because I think we'll be getting more heroes with future content patches (Winds of Cantha...I just hope we don't get a 'sin).

It's by no means necessary to add more, but it does make sense.
Really though, I just want a third mesmer.

Where is the option to add more heroes so you can make any team with any number of professions? Which would be the most logical choice following the Merc update. Don't see any objection to that other than Merc payer entitlement.
Sagittario
It would be nice and I expect a new assassin hero with the new update Winds of Change, but WHY more?
They have already made 7 hero limit and opportunity to buy extra heroes. Adding new heroes would mean less money for Anet.

Suun is funky on his own but I'd prefer the other two to be hot chicks

No, thats why you have mercs! And this game isent going survive off cheapos that dont want to buy a 3 merc package. This isent a charity, it's buisness. So stop whining so much that you cant get that third or fourth mesmer you want
As far as im concerned the feature you are requesting is allready implented in to the game. Youre simply not willing to pay for it, so dont take development off new features in the game that I would like to see.

Suun, 
Fuu Rin, and 
Arani.. there's your two hot chicks!They're also fitting as pseudo-mercs, so what better choice in the age of mercs.
Fuu Rin: "I decided that volunteering my services to the Zaishen would be a better choice. Riches from the lord of the Underworld will not come without a price, and it will be a high one."
Arani: "Of course my rates are high. And from the look of you, you can't afford them."

I voted neutral, if the heroes existed, i'm sure i'd unlock and use them but i'm by no means clamouring for it.
Rites
nuetral
personally it wouldn't matter much to me. there are already quite a few heroes that never seem to be used anyway, adding more to the list won't really change much.
do people seriously need 3 rit heroes? and without fixing the AI, the sin heroes already are just for show, another sin hero would just be adding even more dust to the collection. a 3rd mes i personally dont see much of a use for considering 2 are way more than enough

I voted neutral. I never roll anything other than triple necros, two rits, and two warriors. In the interests of fairness, yes, they should add new ones - however I don't need them.
I think it's pretty obvious they're going to add those heroes anyway. We'll get a sin in Winds of Change, I'm presuming - perhaps incorrectly - that there will GWB for Nightfall, and we'll a rit or mesmer in that, and, and this is a huge step, there could be huge tie up GWB quest - for which we'll get either the rit or mesmer we didn't get in Nightfall.
Is that fair to say?

yes
and not to be better, or to be able to use more without buying merc heroes (cuz you can get 7 necro's that way if you want), but :
1. it makes sense, having 3 of all profs
2. more different heroes means trying to make more builds which work good
3. i'd like to see more characters becoming heroes through their own stories
3 good points and not 1 bad one, as merc heroes wont be hurt much, as people who dont wanna buy, wont buy , and people who want more than 3 of that prof, they will buy merc instead of using just the 3 we'd have then
so, people who wanna have more, will buy more
for me, i dont need merc heroes, but seeing 1 more sin (ok except that one), mesmer and rit hero, would make the game more interesting, as i love making builds to have my own team
more than 3 is kinda useless i think, as it will then hurt their business from merc heroes (even though its not my problem) and 3 of each makes the game more interesting, as those who will never buy merc (like myself) can get a bit variation (not prof wise, but build wise)
and i've never been a fan of merc heroes at all, since i will never use more than 3 of the same prof, and am not planning on buying a slot just for that
and i quit discord or any other team builds from pvx, just to make my own team, and having more stories and more different looks would make the game better, just cuz it has something new and useful
i hope they wont make it so that we gotta do solo missions like hearts of the north, as i'm very bad at that, so i never get keiran (which i dont like anyway, and i never use more than 1 paragon hero)
but making quests which you can do with heroes, and making them require a certain hero would be more fun, imo
o_O i kinda overdid this post eh?
well, i hope i explained enough

If they do add more heroes hopefully it fits in nice to the storyline maybe w/ WoC. It would be a nice addition to those people who don't own both EotN and NF. But i can see people who bought mercenaries feel like they were duped. Honestly, I personally don't see the need for more heroes.

I always hoped they would balance out the heroes so we had 3 of each but I am not sure its the right thing to do now we have mercs.
Anet seem to have listened that players wanted more heroes and chosen the pay for them method much like they did with storage.
Adding a new hero like they did with wik is ok but creating too many would probably be seen as a bad move by those who bought the merc packs and I couldn't really blame them.

No, because it would solve nothing. People would still complain about not being able to do the mythical uber 7 heroes of one prof group.
To stop the complaining would require the addition of 8 optional profession heroes to replicate any possible configuration of mercenary hero groups. A duplication of the highest priced merc pack, sans customization. 7 would not do it, since they would find some outlandish "advantage" to a Mercenary purchaser having 8 and having "slots" that can be reconfigured to different professions.
Hot on the heels of a free 7 hero update that many decried as making the game too easy you want even more based upon some imagined advantages of the mercenary pack. Not much gratitude, and even less consistency.

cosyfiep
other....yes to mesmer, NO to another totally useless sin! (meh on the rit). I already have a bunch of melee heroes that never see the light of day (heck I doubt that ANY of my antons HAVE a skillbar other than the one they came to me with!).
Now they did say we will probably get another hero with woc--nothing says it has to be a rit or sin (we got keiran in prophecies as a PARAGON
--)... I would be fine with a 3rd mesmer, but at 26 heroes already I just am heroed out.

rit-Suun - funky and unique
ass-Yuri the Hand - the guy is beastly
mes-Bokka the Magnificent - it would be jokes
always wanted an extra mes and rit for some builds, the assassin doesn't matter as much but if you're gunna have 3 of each you might as well.

@Lasai - You would only need 5 multi purpose heros to make a full 8 team, as you can only add 7 heros to a party, and the minimum heros of each profession is 2.
1 + 2 + 5 = 8
Maybe writing down the sums might help you work that out. And it's not our fault if you bought the Mercs for something other than to have cool looking heros.

_Aphotic_
First off, why would this possibly not happen?
and even if it didn't WHY wouldn't you LIKE it?
What would your picks be for the new heroes to be...Assassin, Ritualist, and Mesmer?
Sin-obv. Miku.
Rit- Oola, Blimm. Has to be from the Tyrian continent.
Mesmer- Ghost of Lady Althea?
; Well there hasn't been a Kurzick hero yet...
How would the change benefit you?
Free heroes. woot.
I can create possibly a few more builds without having to dish out 40 bucks to get my merc slots.
Why do you support this change?
What bad could possibly come from it? People can already create these by buying them. White it is certainly POSSIBLE that the above could effect the value of mercenary slots, it's not like ANet is completely dependant upon micro-transactions for their flow of income >.>

Neutral. Yes to make it fair , no because it's not a must ( i.e an ele hero can replace a ritualist hero with same skills..)

I voted neutral. I think there should be 3 heroes for every core profession, but since there already is 3 paragons and dervishes, they could add As and Rt, and Me, of course, as it is core profession. I really think they are going to add those heroes as we just got third paragon and before that we got M.O.X as third dervish. They just added mercenaries for impatient people. It would be killer if they added Assasin next... I can already hear the QQing.

I am not the one screaming advantange here. Back off the personal insults. I am merely pointing out that anything less than full parity with a Merc pack will still cause people to claim unfair advantage for the same reason they are screaming advantage now.

Balance everything out to 3.
Mesmer heroes, a third one would be wanted definitely.
Assassin heroes - useless anyways.
Ritualist heroes - Third one would be wanted definitely.
Just give em. meanwhile my Mercenaries still let me get even moar /signed.

If they do add more heroes let them be none human ones.
It would be nice to have more Charr Norn Asura etc then they could add some interesting conversation lines between them.

One rit, one mes. That's all we need, and I'm quite certain that we're going to get both (and an assassin besides) at some point in GW:B.
