Real Crystalline Sword? - Guild Wars Forums

Dandoft · Apr 02, 2008, 01:49 AM // 01:49

Hello, i was sent this picture of a req 7 15% always Crystalline Sword and am 99% sure that it is fake. I am wundering if any of you pro photoshop people can figure out if it is photoshoped.

Thanks!!

(and srry if this isn't the right thread)

I'll go with fake, there's a black rectangle next to the "Damage +15%" which goes from under the "15" in 15-22 to the q in "requires".

I'm hardly a pro in spotting fake 'shops though, so get a second opinion ^_^

fake.
look very closely at the area right after where it says 15%.
you'll notice that there's a flat black bar after that that doesn't match the texture elsewhere...they're presumably using that to cover up a (while enchanted) or something else condition.

the rest looks real, so it's still an impressive sword. It's just not unconditional.

its a fake for reasons stated above

if it wasnt that would have to be the most expensive thing in gw =.=

One of many fakes. Use to get a least one a week back in the day.

Best Crystalline available is a req9 15^50 (minus the one I deleted) haven't seen/heard of a req8 15^50 in years.

Yeah, its easier to tell if you turn the brightness WAAAY up on your monitor, you can then distinctly see its a fake, because of the large black bar beside +15%

lol..nice sword but fake... where it says 15^50.. the above 50% is covered by black..u can see the black rectangle easily

Lawrence Chang · Apr 02, 2008, 02:27 AM // 02:27

I dont see why the person would over up the ^enchanted, ^50, or ^stance part... it would still be VERY rare.

Munchkin · Apr 02, 2008, 02:35 AM // 02:35

Zoom in on the picture and the black is most obvious.

This is the first time I've ever used this picture without mocking anyone, but:

Seriously, it's a blatant shop, same reasons as already posted.

ima guess that if the condition required for +15% is shopped, the rest may very well be shopped, such as the req. just speculating, you could be right

Not to mention that the first '2' in the 20/20 looks sort of funky.
