I agree. I apologize if I got off track by addressing other things people have stated, but I'm not trying to undermine the system--I'm trying to make these permanent decisions informed decisions.



In a game that's still in alpha but purportedly won't be wiping characters upon beta or launch, one can't help to ponder the consequences of a permanent decision when half of [the game's] features aren't implemented yet. Okay, if I can create a new character, rush the starter island, hightail it to Sun Vale, and snag druid (or lycan or whatever) with minimal investment to see if I'm ever actually interested in playing a druid, then I'd actually be okay with that. But from what I hear, it's not exactly something you can run off with a sub-level 10 (in anything) character and go grab. Am I mistaken?

Lastly, I feel this only really matters if one of these skillsets prevents you from learning another skillset altogether. It seems like we don't know if they will or won't at this point, but none currently do.
If you have the councils to get to Sunvale, you can absolutely run and get Druid without leveling much as soon as you get off the Starter island. You have to plan your route, or get an escort, but you can.

Just because it is possible however, doesn't mean it's easy. I did it. It took some doing, but I managed to get over there mostly alone. There were a few people killing things in the zone, so I did take advantage of the hole they made in the spawns, but I could have gone around.


But yes, I agree that we need to know if obtaining a certain skill will lock you out of another.
