Yep, atlast some one with some sence. If you have more than 4 slots, It would put up costs on the game. 4 is enough, you have enough character slots to unlock all the skills you could want.

The flaw in that thinking is that you will have 3 out of 6 character professions that you unable to assign attribute points to the primary attribute.

This prevents any accuracy in the character build and skill experimentation department. Yeah sure you can use divine favor skills as a secondary Monk, but unless your a primary monk, how will you be able to determine their usefulness?

With refund points, 6 PvE slots will allow for every possible build in the game.

Agreed. Mainly, the cost thing. They give us 4 slots at 50 dollars, which is very reasonable. It's not like you can go up to them and say "Here's 10 more <insert currency here> now give me more character slots please." I mainly say that, because thye have their set amount of servers, and they've been nailing away at the right amount of character slots everyone should get, based on what their servers can handle. I'm sure if their servers could handle 6+ characters per person, they wouldn't have released the game with only 4 slots.

I agree with the thinking that 4 slots is enough but I would like to have 6 slots so I could experiment with 1 character of each of the main classes. So I guess I sign. LOL, not a very ringing endorsment.

Thank you for my chuckle of the day. This really brightened my afternoon at work. Please keep posting your guesses and assumptions, they have a great entertainment value.

Didnt I just mention in the post you quoted that you cant remake -roleplay- characters at level 20 with all unlocked skills?

Maybe I dont just want to PvP ALL the time. Maybe I want to help guildies out with a mission, or we need a specific class for an underworld run. They might need my nuker, OR my healer / protector, OR my tank. PvP characters could not support guildmates in the UW last I knew. Besides, I will allow myself to enjoy the game the way I want, and changing classes for PvE is entertaining to me.

Thats right, just... I dont farm, and I dont grind. As mentioned above, I play the game the way that is fun for me, and farming is not part of this. Instead, I buy those runes. Quick, easy, and more fun than mass killing mobs in the same area for hours.

Haha. Go check the rune trader sometime... and see how many superiors can be bought for under 5k. Thats nothing if you just normally progress through the game and finish it with two characters

Why do you assume I'm a boy? Maybe I'm a girl. But I'll give you a hint, my name is not Nancy, but it does sound quite female.

Anyway... is telling me how I NEED to play the game so I dont need more character slots (and so I dont enjoy it anymore) a solution and a valid argument? Let me think really hard...

...no, I dont think so.

are you guys mad? the only way i can see this working is that it gets increased but only to 6 as there is one space for each profession and i think that all professions were made to be used so why not have one of each them eh? so im signing for increase!

You guys are really, so lame. never happy are you, always gotta have more.

We shall start from the beginning...

Perhaps you should of thought about your characters before you just tossed random builds together and spent 100+hours on them. There are only 6 classes, and each character gets 2 classes, so you only need 3 chars to be able to play all classes to some degree, I understand you can't play every combination, but then you would need like 15 or so char slots? and that is just not realistic, anyway, then they add in that you will be able to switch your secondary class, so you really only need one char to unlock all skills.

Ok, so now we've figured out that only one char is required to unlock everything, correct?
Now I understand that for gvg there may be times where your team needs a certain class to round out the group, so what are the possible needs of the group? another tank? healer? support?
Now were up to 3 used character slots, you've unlocked everything, and you still have one char slot open for random class testing, another rpg char, whatever you want. even a pack mule if you should so desire.

I don't understand what the big hubub is about people needing so many more character slots. You just don't need em.

And if your really gonna lose sleep over this, remember that a-net did mention that their was a possiblity of new playable races in future expansions, and they are so good at working with the player base, you know they won't limit you to 4 char slots if they add in new races, they just wouldn't, so if it's really buggin you that much, just chill out for a bit, play the game, and wait for the expansion to come out in december, or whenever they plan to release it.

there was a post from an official who stated that the character slots would be increased when new races/professions were introduced in future chapters

you still will be short on the slots to choice ratio

You havent read my posts, have you? If you did (which I strongly doubt), I'd like to hear some counter-arguments to mine. I have yet to hear any. People just like to ignore them - I guess it means they are valid.

Then argue in a way that doesnt make you look like a fist-shaking troll and tell us why? apparently you have just run out of logic arguments so you start to pretend there were no counter-arguments.

If I delete my Warrior, my Monk, or my Ranger, then I lose the chance to switch back to those well-established and effective characters when my need for the Mesmer ends.

If I delete a PvE character to switch classes, then I can't switch back. I want seven slots so that I can access the entire game without destroying my access to the parts of the game I've already earned.

I would be satisfied with 5-6 slots. I had to delete one of my characters today to make room for a new build I really wanted to make

This is a free game, I remember buying it myself for something like $50? How did you get it for free?

Free as in no monthly cost.

And this game is fine with just four slots, if you want more just delete your other characters.

I reject this idea.

Free as in no monthly fee. But not free as in a $50 initial charge. 4 is fine with me...i reject as well

I would actually like to see the number of slots increased, but undestand the additional cost that would incur. Currently, there is always the option to buy a second account which would even allow two boxing.

Right - so what is the reason for your objection? You don't think anyone deserves more slots?

People are willing to pay for extra slots. That's good for ANet - it means they can turn a profit with some very simple coding, using that profit to pay for the artists and developers working on the expansion and continuing to update the game. If it's good for ANet, it's good for you. Objecting to a feature because you don't need it is not a valid reason to object; objecting because it would take time and thus money away from other more desirable changes/expansions is a valid reason, but since this can cover itself financially it is a moot point here - it is not difficult to add storage for a few extra slots; it pulls more money into ANet - I am certain that 5$ a character would be largely ($4.50 or more) profit for them, which goes to making the game better for everybody. If you doubt that, consider that the game was being sold for $30 through futureshop online preorders: at that price, if the 4 character slots they allowed cost 5$ each it would imply that the game content, art and so on was being produced at less than 10$ per game; I doubt that the character storage is 2/3rd of the cost of the game.

Rationalise your objection. Use that lump between your shoulders instead of saying that 4 is enough for you. I don't care what's enough for you, honestly - you can say that 1 slot, with PvP only and no PvE is enough for you, it isn't for me.

I mean there's a possibility of 6 characters but we can only make 4. Totally ridiculous. Specially combined with the very limited storage each charater have.

I don't have a problem with the limitation. It's just way to small. We should be allowed to have 14. 6 builts for pve and then 6 for pvp + 2 as mules.

and for all it's worth i dont mind paying for another account as long as i can add it to my first and sill keep the extra 4 character slots. this way it can be optional so those that want more can get them, and those that dont dont have to. but it's worthless imo if you cant join your two accounts

I don't really understand that sentance, are you saying that you have a high level warrior, but you want to play him again from the beginning, so you delete another char?
