Extra professions on the same char for real money

[Raelbo]

Here's an idea that this forum is not going to like, probably, but something I was thinking about: you can get extra professions available for 10$ each, or a bundle for all of them for like 50-60$. And maybe a deluxe option to have that enabled on all your chars for even more money.

Yea, yea, I know what's you're thinking. Subscription game, you can have alts with other professions etc. But for convenience sake, I might consider buying something like this. I want to play alts for the fun stuff, not for farming/making money. And it's not pay to win, as the small bonuses to player power from professions were removed like 3 expansions ago. The idea of always be available to gather that rare herb/ore, no matter what char you play on, is really cool to me. Same for having the toolkit to craft whatever you want on 1 (or every) character.

Absolutely not.

Even though you say it's not, this is definitely pay to win. The ability to have every profession on a character is more than just something cool. It is a clear competitive advantage. And as soon as the preferred (or, as you're suggesting, only) way of obtaining such if the only way to obtain such an advantage is through a paywall, then every serious player would be pretty much obliged to pay in order to remain competitive.

No. As a matter of fact, tradeskills should be their own classes, independent of adventure level. I should be able to create a tradeskill alt, park him in a city, feed him mats from my adventure main, level him up, and charge you RIDICULOUS, EXTORTIONIST prices for crafted gear. Not sarcasm, btw. I've wanted this since the beginning.

I rather not. Choice should matter and players should not have everything on one toon.

[Ryzek]

Yeah.... that's a no from me.

[Lulbalance]

Bro...what? No. What???

[callipygoustp]

Yeah, and lets not stop there. Lets be able to buy a 2nd(3rd even) class for a toon. Toons can be multiple classes!

Very accurate.

[MrLachyG]

so you want literal pay to win?

[Vrinara]

Yeah no. We don't need it. Just level up professions like normal.

[Thenadrys]

You can buy a boost for an alt and take two more professions.

I like how this thread is the only one where everyone (except the vanished OP) is of one mind
