Let us turn any r9 max modded weapon into a green with a name of our choice would be awsome.

Jo Po · Jun 24, 2008, 04:02 AM // 04:02

i think it is a really cool idea, and i would love to have a shiny/glowy sword/spear for my monk, or a firey sword/spear to go with fire ele. And yes i know about the other more popular weapons that you could use, but i would rather have something that many other ppl dont have

/signed for gold/ecto sink.

But not for crafters of already existing weapon skins. Suppose they did have a crafter that made storm bows out of ectos. Depending on how many ectos would be required, the value of existing ones would either tank or sky-rocket. If they stuck with the standard req 9 for crafted weapons, any req 10 or higher storm bow would be rendered worthless. If a crafter required a significant amount (25+) of ectos to craft one, the value of existing req 9's would sky rocket proportionately.

Your ideas are great, especially having Anet finishing weapon sets(Eternal/Obsidian). The elemental looks are what I mean by "shine and glow" but came out wrong

. There could be an elemental range, more money sink = more ooolala.

This idea is going into the hall of fame.

Hall of fame or hall of flame?

The idea of generic "make things shiny" is not too grand, but the idea of a new money/ecto sink is very much needed.

Requires ecto's again? No ty. Better use another rare material to raise the demand for those. Ecto already has quite some demand for obsidian armor and chaos gloves.

I don't think you get it. Ectos are in demand because the price for them is high. People farm and farm them because they were always used as currency for breaking the 100k limit on characters for trades.

Only people who want big e-peens get obsidian armor and chaos gloves truth be told.

You are right that other rare materials need to be used so that they get a little more demand, but with ectos being so easy to farm, and so little ways to get rid of them (trader and armor only), they will lose value (or so is the belief) due to constant farming, and there goes the "economy" (which is not entirely true, although the ecto prices shouldn't be lowered any more then they have).

Your reason for other materials needed to be in the market is why I put Spiritwood Planks in some of the weapons in my idea a few posts above. Those are hardly used, so they should get more love.

but we wont have it...maybe in gw2 hehe he

Yawgmoth · Jun 24, 2008, 12:39 PM // 12:39

Even if the costs for crafting that would be respectively: 100ectos, 200ectos, 300ectos it wouldn't help the ecto market, it would only help the ecto farmers! Wrong way!

And as for the idea of adding glow to weapons... isn't there way too much of these in all other mmos?

Yeah, um, let me check... No, axes and swords are not the only weapon types in GW.

Don't see how this can hurt anybody. People like me who find fow armour ugly will have something to waste their ectos on, and people who don't like that idea just can not dye their weapons with this "glower".

As long it's a slight shine, not a Chaos-like glow, I'm with it. But... it's too late for this. If thwy had time and resources to do this, they would have added other effects to weapons already.

Using that logic we may close whole Sardelac.

I am sort of all for it but i think too many glowy items about the place just makes you lose the desire to have one. There is alot to be said for "Unique"

/not signed If you want to glow get a chaos axe!

You DO realize that there are other weapon types in GW, not just axes?
Just checking...

That's what we are not getting.

The tonics, for example, use already existing models.

Just because GW 2 is in production doesn't mean AN should leave GW 1 alone (and they haven't yet). If they haven't left it alone, it won't hurt them to at least consider this suggestion.
