Thanks for all the /signs.

For the critics I have been seeing I have 2 points I'll hope you'll listen to.

1. It would be rediculous for us to assume that the req was high because of shiro's strength. Basically thing of it this way if you still aren't convinced. Being a "weapons master" do you think shiro would run 15 dagger mastery and 15 swordsmanship? It would make no sence. Yes, I agree this is a little technical, but so is arguing the req is high because of "lore".

2. Saying that anet kept the req high because they wanted the weapons with prestige and they wanted them to be rare is just silly. The only reason these items are rare now is because no one wants them because they aren't that good. If I was a warrior that just beat the game I would look at Shiro's Sword, then see Exaulted Aegis, the choice would be obvious to me. The same goes for the zealous daggers for assassin (you can tell that players heavily favored zealous by the endgame nightfall daggers).

3. Why would you change these? Well, just look at how many people are already liking this idea.

No doubt these things look nice, but they aren't practical as they are now. I will refer to Shiro's Blades in this example. I have both a pair of Shiro's Blades and Chkkrs Pincers. I love using Shiro's blades when my build permits, this is because the skin is huge and its nice to look at. (Similar to Drago's Flatbow for example) I really don't enjoy being forced to use my Chkkr's Pincers, but I do anyways.

My proposal is that we try to convince ANET to lower this req down a few notches. Why not? There is nothing to lose, the game won't change in balence at all. Please vote here to lower, even if you have nothing to gain, other people do, and other people will gladly thank you for it.

Breif Terms to ANET: We, the guildwars community, kindly ask you anet to lower the requirements of the green endgame weapons Shiro's Sword and Shiro's Blades. Our preferred requirement would be requirement 9 like all the other greens, but if you would like them to be profession specfic, a lower to 13 would be widely apprecited. We thank you for your cooperation and hope that you can implement this simple change soon.

BIG NEWS EVERYONE:
We actually accomplished something, the requirement has now been lowered to 13! Hurray for all you supporters, we should be proud that a small thread like this may have had a positive effect on the guildwars community. Now everyone is happy, they can only be used by their respective professions like ANET wanted, but now they are usable in regular builds. Thanks again for all the support!

Lowered the attribute requirement on Shiro's Blade and Shiro's Sword from 15 to 13. /fixed
