I personally look forward to accessing traders who can make specific weapons and sell weapon mods. Or perhaps if we could go to a smith and change the (unmodable) stats on our weapon, as well as buy weapon mods from traders, than all we need to do is find the skin we want. I am a firm believer that the only perk advanced players should have is spectacular armor and weapon visuals, not higher weapon quality and power, whatever needs to be added to make that happen has my approval.

Yes but i am not saying that the pricing will change just the availibility....

Besides, the gold market is reaching instability right now, pretty soon no new comers will want to partake in this because the amount of gold is to great and i feel inflation is in the boundaries...guild wars has really just become a cesspool of spamming for trading...its just so annoying these days ... i would like to see the old days with no spamming and great people giving advice and such... this is why i thought about the idea...not because i tought it was EXTREMELY good, but because guildwars has really to much to deal with money and not friendliness and fun

From excessive gold we now have:

Leechers
Spammers
Scammers
etc.

here's the deal. in any game, you cant give excellent reward for subpar achievement. in the case of your idea, one would simply have to farm for gold to get the much-wanted crystalline sword skin. i can farm for gold by simply running around in the desert killing stuff solo! sure, it's slow, but i'll eventually get that wonderful crystalline sword. orrrrr, we could do it the way it currently works, where you ACTUALLY GO to the area, and ACTUALLY do the work. and it could just be me, but i like that system. the whole "actually having to do stuff to get cool things" system. sorry, and i know it's a lame flame, but, this idea is the equivilent of the "Give us more skills slots cause WoW has them" idea.

Game Over,
Please Try Again.

The trading system is broken, and we need an auction system to reduce spam, but THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING.

If they did introduce an auction house, it would mostly only get used for the high end items and towns would still get flooded with trade spams.

I for one, am glad that I like the katana skin.......

makes getting a sword I like the look of very easy...

But yeah, I would just be happy if the weaponsmiths made the longswords look like longswords!!!! I love the longsword skin!!!!

Dante the Warlord · Aug 29, 2006, 01:13 PM // 13:13

I guess i am starting to see your point, but i don't think that guild wars should make rare skins THAT hard to get, but they should at least make it a reward for good players or people who stayed with them a long time. I have a 15 month old account and not once have i actually been able to farm a good sword with the stats i want them to have.. even after spending hours upon hours...nothing! I just thought that skins should be nothing to deal with luck and more with ableness and ability... plus not everyone is an addicted gamer to guildwars, where i think the maximum anyone should play is 4 hours a day... This isn't really changing anything, justt the availibility...

If you disagree thats fine, after all its just an "idea" that i thought of while playing.

legion_rat · Aug 29, 2006, 01:27 PM // 13:27

Guess I am the only one who doesnt care that much about skin. I like the function. If you want a rare skin earn it.

LOL. Why would a flamer be a kid with no life? The reason people are disagreeing with your idea is because it is to be perfectly honest awful. I am not a child and I have an IQ which is way higher than Mensa's minimum requirements to join. If anything you are the one throwing round insults at people because they disagree with your idea.

You can buy perfect gold 15>50 weapons for as low as 5k. You can buy perfect gold staffs for as low as 10k. If people cannot afford them they are doing something terribly wrong. Just questing should get you enough gold to buy them.

People who do not want gold items there are collectors items and green items. If people want nice stuff they should have to work for it. After they finish the game they may want to work towards getting nice equipment. If Anet remove the need to work towards items people will leave the game very quickly. Anet will never implement your idea as tens of thousands of people will quit or get bored very quickly. You dont like spamming turn the trade channels off. You want nice items work for them. Your not at a disadvantage using collectors or green items.

Inflation? Wtf are you on about? Items are at their cheapest since like ever. You can buy items for 30k which once cost 300k. Ectos were once 15k each now they are 6.5k each. Superior Vigors were once 60k each now they are 30k. Sup Monk runes were once 50k + each now 3k ish each. You clearly have no idea what you are on about. Prices of items/materials/weapons etc are at an all time low.

Dont forget superior absorption used to be 100k a pop!! ^^ Thats how i made over 300k in 2 days....>.> ah...those were the days....

MMSDome · Aug 29, 2006, 05:36 PM // 17:36

the people make the prices for each skin not A-Net. The people control the economy and how muchthings are worth, the crystalline sword is a perfect example of this. When you look in the price check part of the forum for pricing rare skins it says the buyer can make the price whatever he wants because its so rare. We as a whole decide the price of skins for items not A-Net so therefor you cant have a merchant telling you how much something is worth. Its all supply and demand, your idea couldnt work.
