    Because traits were a way for them to give you skills early without having them be too powerful for your level at the time. It was also a way to make potential cross-class skills be more powerful on the class that they originally come from than they would be on other classes. Since the level 51-60 skills hit within just a couple of levels of each other, and can't be cross-classed, there was no reason to limit their power from the get go and upgrade them to their "actual" level with traits later.....

    Three of my traits are something that can literally be covered by inherent stat growth, and doesn't serve much purpose other than to be filler. While I'm fine with traits that boost skills (and they should be used a bit more liberally to prevent button bloating, espesically going into 4.0), but they should step away from the enhanced stats and flat bonuses that otherwise should have been built into the skill (such as AoE increases)

    Thanks for all the reply's all and I agree they might not seem significant but I think it would have still been nice to have them regardless.
