It's perhaps a stupid suggestion, but why Runic Blades and Stygian Reaver are only avaible in HoH ?
I Know that there's the legendary Sword but its look like a Gothic Sword so it's not a real problem, and I won't speak about Crystalline Sword . . .

But please, why Runic blades and Stygian Reaver can't be drop in PvE ?
I Suggest that the devs make PvErs able to drop Runic Blades and Stygian Reaver (Even if it'll be Extremely rare items)

PvPers don't use weapons that drop from HoH chests. They sell them to avid PvEs.
And umm... kinda a pointless rant there. Sytgian Reavers have a green that looks like them.

That's not true. Lots of PvP players make PvE characters to get the different armor and weapons.

Present a sound argument why your idea should be followed through.

his point was why are these skins are only attainable through HoH. Guess you can rule out the Stygian Reaver's skin, but why should the Runic Blade only be acquired through HoH? It means that PvE'ers have to become competitive in HA so they can get a chance of getting a Runic Blade (still very slim, guess what's why it's a high end item).

Addressing anet, why not? Inflation is coming in so why not make these small changes where some high end weapons that only show up in HoH can also drop in PvE?

btw Lyra I like your profile........

I guess it follows the logic, of nerfing solo play (and solo farming too).

They want players to play all the aspects of the game. Some solo farming/hero trick farming for greens and rare materails like ectos, storyline for titles and acess to hard mode, pug play to do hard mode (only reason I can think of for the AI nerf on hard mode), PvP for some items/titles/fun.

PvP players also have to play PvE for beautifull armors.

Do you think PvP players wouldnt wish they could create any armor/weapon skin, and dye it the way they like it?

sry double post due to lag.....

Eh, not to say that I'm not in favor of more items, but then again, we have plenty of weapons that they can't access. Actually, just about all of them are inaccessible without PvE play.

/signed, but only because I'm a greedy bastard who wants more stuff for PvE. And more stuff for PvP. Pretty much anything new makes me happy.

it is extremely messed up that in order to get the most awesome PvE skins you have to do PvP

This has bugged me for a while. I don't mind PvP but I DESPISE HA... I shouldn't have to go into an aspect of the game that has nothing to do with PvE to get an item that only has its place in PvE.... it simple makes no sense.

While we're at it, if the PvP'ers want the shiny skins... it has already been suggested that they should be able to use balth faction to unlock stuff like that. So, make it part of the same update and everyone will be happy. This mixing of genres though is frustrating for everyone.
