see, to me both of those bows look like something a fairy would carry around. i want something cool and evil looking to carry around with my black FoW armor

so it comes down to the fact that you don't like anet's skins

no F*in way.

considering that a lot of the high end items cost so much because they have rare skins, making them available to everyone wouldn't neccessarily ruin the in game economy; but it would definitely change it

it would be basically like buying a weapon off ebay but Anet wouldn't care cause they were getting all the profits

also, I highly dislike the shadow bows...

that's the same skin as ryver's shortbow (green) that I use; looks real nice with red 15k drakescale armor

That's one of the only things that keeps some PvE people PLAYING! Having incentive to get the new, cool skin. If you want a better looking bow, go find one.

"Oh, my bow skin sucks. I wish I could just get my parents to buy me a better looking one..."

Since when has running up to the nearest chest and getting lucky count as working hard.

yes but a lot of people take forever to get lucky

Nope, sorry. Horrid idea. Skins are part of the content that sells a chapter and should be kept that way. If they start nickel and diming the customer base, they will be no better than Bethesda... trying to peddle litteral junk "mods" and utter trash for real money.
Doing this also lessens the value of each chapter as new skins would hold no value towards the purchase of such chapter.
A move like this would be one of turning GW into Maple Story.

Okay, I think we get the point. The idea is not well recieved. Now insults have been flaring left and right and I think this thread is on its way down.

Be more courtious to your fellow forum-goers or I will flail you with a bicycle chain. I'm just that nice.

Closed.
