I like the idea, love it. But in practise it really doesn't work, almost all MMO's with talent choices have that problem.
This.

False.The challenge would be greater, though I still wouldn't argue this when we have the some of the most talented devs in the world working on this game. There are other games out there with a balanced custom class system in place. There’s no reason SE couldn't do it and do it better!
Balance is already a bitch and you want to make it even harder?
