Weapons training and character development

Dear community and creators of WoT,

I didn't really know what to put as a title so allow me to elaborate.

I think that it would be a great idea to introduce some sort of training mechanic into the game. I have 2 ideas about how to do this but this can all be changed of course.

Idea 1

Have a training ground, in which players can go to increase their strength, duel with other players or just increase their mastery with a certain weapon.

This could be done in multiple ways, like some sort of clicking mini-game, or just pushing a button once and having a cooldown on it (similar to how you can get one free meal a day).

You can decide whether there is only one or multiple training ground and if these would have an owner or not.

Idea 2

There would be knights or maesters, depending on what you want to go for, that would all be responsible for a certain fighting style. Just like we currently have a maester of healing, a maester of trickery, ...

Except now it would be:

• Knight of one-handed weapons
• Knight of two-handed weapons
• Knight of archery
• Knight of spears, pikes
• Knight of 'exotic' weapons
• ...

All of these categories could be split up again if you think that this is too general. For example, instead of one knight of one-handed there could be 4 separate knights: sword, sword and shield, hatchet, hatched and shield,....

Or one knight of archery could become multiple knights like: knight of crossbows, knight of bow and arrow,...

Once again, this could be done like like the 'free meal' concept, in which you click a button once a day and you get like "+1 one-handed sword", or you could implement some sort of mini-game.

I hope this idea gets enough upvotes and gets analysed, I feel like this would greatly improve the immersion of the game and give more possibilities to tournaments for example.

You could also implement certain abilities or limitations. For example, a person can only master 2 weapon types, and thus only train in two types, or in the case of abilities, give the person once he reached 25 points in 'sword and shield' a special block or move that he could than use in tournaments or topics.

Thanks to all of you.

Kind regards,

Fargarth.
