Source Path of Titans = EQ Alternate Advancement?

Zenyu		There are probably not a ton of former EQ players here. But for those who are, the "Path of the Titans" sounds an awful lot like the EQ "Alternate Advancement Points" that were introduced in... Scars of Velios I think?

Basically once you hit max level, you still got xp, but each 'level' you got a point you could spend to specialize your character.

The problem was that, max level was no longer max level. It was important you had certain AA skills for raiding.

So I wonder if WoW will be the same? Higher end guilds might require "Level 85 with 200 Path of Titan Points" or something like that.

They are intended to be gated, not grindy. The idea is more that you have a reason to keep coming back to log in even if say you need a break from raiding or it isn't your team's PvP night. We are trying to contrast them with actual levels, which players can blow through very quickly if they are dedicated.
