Idea for Factions conflict

I noticed lots of people feels unfair about how new players are given 4 character slots while old players only get 2.

Assuming ArenaNet's decision regarding character slot is final, I have an idea concerning this. It may be a good idea...or it may not; that is totally depends on how guildwars' community thinks about this idea.

Old players who owns both core and faction will given very special item, armour or skill. More like prestigous item/armour/skill for old players to make up for 2 lost character slots. To make things really unique, this prestigous unknown will be only availiable to one of your character.

Let's say prestigous armour for example. Upon log on screen, you will be ask to select one character; and that character will be given prestigous armour. Since it will be only asked once, it would be ideal to choose your main character.

Older players would feel unique, and that would be ArenaNet's way of saying thanks for staying with GuildWars.

That would be nice, but I for one don't care that we only get 2 extra slots. Heck, I wouldn't care if we got 0 extra slots. I mean, I have 2 pve guys and two slots left over for pvp guys. Thats all I need. People should stop complaining and just be thankfull that they're giving us extra slots.

I'm not sure about you, but most people I know use 3 PvE char's and 1 PvP char. The 2 extra slots will give you the 2 new professions and keep the extra slot that can be used for a PvP for both continents. 6 Slots is enough for me....

personally i really only use one char...once factions come out imma make an assassin n' thats gunna be my main char so i will only be using 2 of the 6 slots the assassin 99% and my ele 1% for sum quick cash personally i dont really need nor want any more slots....however i do see where u guys are coming from..it makes sense to have one slot for each profession so u can have at least one primary of each...if they keep addin ne professions with all the new chapters i can see there being a problem with needing wayy to many slots, so maybe thats why they are getting us used to having less slots right now....but thats juss my guess :P

this as been explained a lot of times , but i guess will be topic for a while , at least till it comes out

so its like this , there is a new map coming the same size as the first one

core version 6 professions 4 slots 50% of the total guildwars area

factions 8 professions 4 slots 50% of the total guildwars area

merged acount 8 professions 6 slots 100% of the total guildwars area

4 * 50 < 6 * 100

Well as must as I like the armor idea I think I would prefer the character slots. Between my three character who are non PvP and my step-fathers one we have filled the slots pretty fast. So another two works for me

3 Pve 1 Pvp.

If you think about it, it makes sense. Factions can be played as a linked game or stand alone. Over all, people who have GW and link Factions to it get more character slots than people who play Factions as a stand alone.

I wonder if we will continue to recieve more and more character slots with each new chapter of GW? Anet has discussed releasing a new chapter every 6 months with 2 new professions for each chapter. If I do my math right, we will be able to aquire about... 5 bajilion characters slots within the next 3-4 years!

ive cooled down about this 2....at first i was all...heck, cant describe it with young ears around...

but yeah, im ok with 6 now....ill make 1 pvp, and then a Rit/n...ima test out that whole minion master ordeal.

Please take this to the already created thread. This whole topic has already been exhaustively discussed and argued and if you have a further suggestion/input you'll have to put it in there.
