They are not widely available, and their rarity gives them value. Besides that, ANet never promised any prize beyond the entries making it ingame IIRC.

I'm saying they could actually do something here just besides giving you a little pin that you put on your shirt. Perhaps it has a code on the back and you enter it in and you get that skill without having to cap it from a boss?

They should at least given a basket or something like that.
A box with a plushe little charr in it, some devourer shaped cakes and little Jalis Iron hammer cookies.

And a bottle of Dwarven Ale.

Oo, oo, and a poster with Gaile Gray on it while she's wearing a cape with your logo!!

I want an Area of Displacement skill pin. It would be great while I try to steal everything. Shadow step in, grab item, shadow step out. Brilliant.

If I'd have a mending pin I would stick it to my t-shirt and start running around downtown with lightsaber.

Cuz all I ever see are the AotL and CS pins

No. The skills were selected by the winners of the GvG tournament in Taiwan ( or wherever it was =) ) - I doubt any top guild takes an IW mesmer into a tournament -.-".

Did you ever see AotL in a tournament O_o

megaforcetkd · May 29, 2006, 01:02 PM // 13:02

Doesn't mean they used it.. They picked it as their favorite skill.

Haggard · May 29, 2006, 03:07 PM // 15:07

You just busted your own point.

Stigmata Arta · May 29, 2006, 03:25 PM // 15:25

Are they badges? The things you 'pin' to your clothes? Do Americans just call them pins?!

Wierd

Sir Skullcrasher · May 29, 2006, 03:38 PM // 15:38

I like these pins, it like a collector items that you can get for winning these contests that a-net have. Althought, i won't mind if we get different prizes such as in-game items or even custom titles for you character.

Well here, a badge is what a police officer carriers.To identify him/her as an officer of the law-btw, our cops carry guns

Phoenix Avenger · May 29, 2006, 04:11 PM // 16:11

has anyone ever worn these pins outside in public? i swear to god people will either look at you in the strangest way or just flat out laugh at you. if I ever got a skill pin it would go in my closet for a VERY long time... or i'd give it to a homeless guy for a short laugh....

either way, I agree with the OP

dargon · May 29, 2006, 05:48 PM // 17:48

Heh, just check out your nearest punk, I'm sure he's got lots of pins from his/her favorite bands, and if he/she happens to also like guildwars, maybe one or two of those. Dare you to laugh

Phoenix Avenger · May 29, 2006, 09:02 PM // 21:02

I would definetly laugh if I saw a punk wear a guild wars pin. I mean come on... Wearing a pin showing that you are a fan of a band is a far cry from wearing a pin showing that you are a nerd.

Sanji · May 29, 2006, 09:12 PM // 21:12

Sounds like we got a self-hating nerd on our hands. :P

Seriously, though, Phoenix, while wearing a Skill Pin is pretty dorky, it's not like posting on a video game fansite forum is that far away in terms of geekery.

Phoenix Avenger · May 30, 2006, 12:20 AM // 00:20

My only question to you then, is this: would YOU wear a skill pin in public?

PS: I dont hate nerds. Otherwise I would hate myself

ubernesss · May 30, 2006, 01:21 AM // 01:21

I would stick it on a lanyard or something like that.

lg5000 · May 30, 2006, 02:13 AM // 02:13

So who actually wears any type of pin in real life?

And... in order for someone to recognise you're wearing a mending pin, wouldn't they have to play gw too? and wouldn't that mean they don't hate you for it?

I like the idea of skill pins as collectors items
