Default Expanded Concentration Slots?

This hasn't been talked about much, but wouldn't it be nice to do an hard quest series for your epic weapon, and somewhere along the way toward the end you got a quest reward that gave you 1 more concentration slot? I mean honestly we are getting into T8 and our memories can't expand to hold more spells? 1 more concentration slot in T8 would be a welcome change and would allow for more customization for buffs and allow people to feel more powerful.

Yes there are ramifications to how everything would work, but perhaps if you gained it automatically at lvl 75 or something so that everyone was on the same page. I mean waiting 25 levels for 1 more concentration slot seems reasonable to me. Eh just throwing it out there though.

I might be wrong, but I'd think spell consolidation will have to address this. It would make sense if they are going to consolidate some buffs, that this would effect concentration costs.

In EOF or KOS beta, I forget which, they gave Coercers 1 extra con slot AA.

It lasted 2 days.

A player brought that up in the Mechanically Speaking panel and the answer was something along the lines of "we'll see how it works out", which I took to mean they hadn't decided if a spell consolidating three old spells would take 3 concentration slots or one. Somewhere they're going to have to ballance that versus risking over powered toons. But Gallenite said that part of the idea was that many classes have far more spells than they can ever actually use, so maybe freeing up concentration slots will fit with letting us use more of our abilities.

Free your mind: get rid of concentration slots altogether. It's not a sacred cow that must be saved at all costs. Buffs are decided before the fight, so concentration slots have zero to do with tactical execution, which is what really trips up lesser players.

I know coercers who would prefer that charm and basic tank buffs not be an either-or decision. You really can have it all.

Linke illuminator said, get rid of concentration, make bards twist again...
oh yeah and all other classes have perma buffs just like now, but they can do as many as they want, and make em raid wide, but bards have to twist, cause they gotta do somthing besides auto follow...
