saw this in the high-end sell forum. i dont mind the iridescent skin being recycled cause i like it. guess that just means that gold iridescent prices will take a hit.

edit - posted this here as i wasnt too sure if it should have gone to the screenshot forums.

Not a unique skin. But it's a step.

Anet= drops the ball on these greens

I wonder where I've seen those stats before...

Fantastic green and great skin. Just wish I hadn't just bought one that was almost identical on the auction two days ago.

People are trying to hawk Mallyx's Recurve bow for 100k + 100 Ecto. What makes you think that Shield will be less?

Although I'm surprised by those mods.

Is it just me or are these all Factions skins?

Agreed, if indeed these are even real. I just think there is more of an issue here that Anet claims to have 3 million players and these few screenshots are the only dubious signs of success here in two weeks. An astounding .0001% success rate?

They never claimed to have 3 million players, and if anyone would believe them if they said that, they are more than stupid.

Granted, thats units sold, not active players. But even if you've only got only a tenth of that actually playing the game, we should have more people able to say if these are real or not.

You cant expect everyone to visit these forums

Brianna · Dec 17, 2006, 10:11 PM // 22:11

Pft, 3 million units bought by players? probably 1 million were bought by the Gold farming companies in China, and ill bet that half of them are banned, and there are many many people in Guild wars who own more then 1 account, i myself own 2. granted anet sold 3 million copies, but yeah....

I think the greens aren't really worth going through the trouble to get :/ since they are ''recycled skins'', its kind of dissapointing but then again some of the skins are pretty, so i guess it cant be all that bad, DoA isn't for everyone anyways.

dargon · Dec 18, 2006, 01:53 AM // 01:53

You do realize, that quite a few other greens also use recycled skins

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Reaper%27s_Blade
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Shak-Jarin%27s_Sword
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Robah%27s_Axe

there's 3 weapons, 2 swords and an axe. Some greens are unique in skin, others aren't. Deal with it.

Hey Dargon, realize that this is an elite mission, and that there should be some kind of worthy reward for an elite mission.

Well, if it wasn't -5/20%/+30, it would probably be labeled as utter crap and fall into the growing pile of "useless" greens, where all the things like 15/stance and Ebon greens are. Considering how much the community at large values certain mods, you can't win when assigning stats.

And there's already a 100+ post thread on the fact that the green skins aren't unique, let's not turn this into another incarnation of it

I've always loved that skin, I'd be more than happy to get something like that from Mallyx, especially considering how rare it is otherwise. Now if only it came with a Paragon req...

Mallyx effectively gives you four gems towards this.
