There should be a weapon skin changer ......where you have to pay on current pricing. Its not fair that you have to keep spamming in towns or online to buy a weapon that just for looks, this way if you have a really nice sword with really nice stats and mods and have the appearance YOU want without any hassle whatsoever...I think that this should be used....
Plus an option for customized weapons should be that they can make special features on their sword i.e. sign it or change the appearance of the weapons (to an extent)
Another one of my ideasis a weapons trader who will buy weapons for their current status price and no selling (being that there is already a weapon skin changer).
This way there is now balance for everything....

ok...so let me get this straight.
Thers gonna be a guy who changes your weapon skins, and the price is based on how the much that skin is worth?
um...no.
thats just ludicrous.

So i can take my 15^50 shortsword, and for a price of 1k, I can make it into a 15^50 crystalline sword?

Without a trader that regulates pricing, there is no way to find the price for your new skin.

What if it was just basic weapons skins. Like gladius, butterfly sword, katana, etc.

If it worked like a Dye trader, supply/demand, then all we'd have to do as a forum is not demand (and get all the other forums to join in) and then just spike upgrade to crystalines when the price is uber low.
Personally i fell that if you want a skin badly, get good enough to ge the area it's in, and try to find the weapon. Elite missions harbour Zodiac and some nice greens because they are meant to be played with some skill, so not only are you paying for a nice skin there, your paying for the fact that so few people (compared to total number of GW players) can get it.
And thats the same with crystalines, if you want one so so badly, farm up the cash for it, or go get lucky.

Nonono you guys misunderstood me...and clearly you didn't read the entire thread because it wasn't all one idea...i believe there were three...
I think that the weapon skins changer should be based on yes supply on demand where you can change what the skin of the sword looks like... I personally thought it would be a great idea so we wouldn't have to spend FOREVER just to collect certain skiins and have them avaible...im tired of always having to look for a sword to buy when i percfectly have the money...i usually can't play all that often usually i play for maximum 2 hours and 3 hours during weekends and when school starts probably none on the weekdays and 2 hours during the weekends
This idea is really for the people who don't play hours upon hours farming for a really good weapon and now you can use the same weapon over and over again without having to change anything.... just the appearance
As for the buying trader that was just a "maybe" to help balance out the other trader...being that no one would like to actually spam to buy swords anymore.... i was thinking maybe in the title we could have like PURE <insert name of weapon> to represent if it was actually found that way and IMPURE <insert weapon name> if it was modded.
Lastly, none of you guys thought about the customied skin changer. Writing and adjusting a sword from its defult to what you want??? Id think everyone would like this being that you weapon will look like what you want it to be.
This is just an idea...you may help me change it around to your liking i never said it was final.

hmmm....well i guess you guys farm enough to get the good stuff...so i guess why bother lol.....anyway.....i personally like the idea....why bother spending your life farming for gold and then having to spend another o....11-12 hours online to get a great sword or sheild....this way everything is up to you and not have to waste your time...i mean who reallly likes playing for more than 3 hours O_o...Its a really cool game but not worth giving up that much

Because the game barely has an economy as is. The rare skin market is really the ONLY market in the game.
and you want to remove that market altogether and just have a merchant for it?
Ya....no thanks....just...
/no
YOU DONT NEED RARE SKINS TO HAVE A FUNCTIONAL AND PERFECTLY WORKABLE WEAPON Collector Items work just as well.
The rare skins are gold sinks. They are vanity skins. If you want the rare skin, buy it, or grind for it.

Nah sorry buddy cant agree! Im not a skin chaser its purely function for me. It's a thriving trade though for some players and they enjoy finding/buying/collecting the pretier skinned weapons so let them have it. Also I recently got into chests so Im reaping some of the rewards for people who'll pay big bucks for there skins. I would prefer that all weapons could be dyed though including greens. Beating someone in PvP with a Pink ugly stick would just be fantastic

Awful idea.
IF YOU WANT NICE SKINS WORK FOR THEM LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHO WANTS THEM. YOU DONT NEED A CRYSTALLINE SWORD, IF YOU WANT ONE WORK FOR IT.
This is only beneficial to lazy people. Collectors items work just as well as perfect rare skinned ones. Maybe everyone should be given FOW armor too lol.

Hey, I can get the rin blade collectors sword but I want that crystalline skin. Woot 15>50 crystallines for all

This is really no different than nice looking 15k armor, better looks for a price, but same effect.
I don't think Greens should be changed, since they have their own identity, but any normal weapon may as well be skin modable.
I personally look forward to accessing traders who can make specific weapons and sell weapon mods. Or perhaps if we could go to a smith and change the (unmodable) stats on our weapon, as well as buy weapon mods from traders, than all we need to do is find the skin we want. I am a firm believer that the only perk advanced players should have is spectacular armor and weapon visuals, not higher weapon quality and power, whatever needs to be added to make that happen has my approval.

Besides, the gold market is reaching instability right now, pretty soon no new comers will want to partake in this because the amount of gold is to great and i feel inflation is in the boundaries...guild wars has really just become a cesspool of spamming for trading...its just so annoying these days ... i would like to see the old days with no spamming and great people giving advice and such... this is why i thought about the idea...not because i tought it was EXTREMELY good, but because guildwars has really to much to deal with money and not friendliness and fun

here's the deal. in any game, you cant give excellent reward for subpar achievement. in the case of your idea, one would simply have to farm for gold to get the much-wanted crystalline sword skin. i can farm for gold by simply running around in the desert killing stuff solo! sure, it's slow, but i'll eventually get that wonderful crystalline sword. orrrrr, we could do it the way it currently works, where you ACTUALLY GO to the area, and ACTUALLY do the work. and it could just be me, but i like that system. the whole "actually having to do stuff to get cool things" system. sorry, and i know it's a lame flame, but, this idea is the equivilent of the "Give us more skills slots cause WoW has them" idea.

I guess i am starting to see your point, but i don't think that guild wars should make rare skins THAT hard to get, but they should at least make it a reward for good players or people who stayed with them a long time. I have a 15 month old account and not once have i actually been able to farm a good sword with the stats i want them to have.. even after spending hours upon hours...nothing! I just thought that skins should be nothing to deal with luck and more with ableness and ability... plus not everyone is an addicted gamer to guildwars, where i think the maximum anyone should play is 4 hours a day... This isn't really changing anything, justt the availibility...
If you disagree thats fine, after all its just an "idea" that i thought of while playing.

People who do not want gold items there are collectors items and green items. If people want nice stuff they should have to work for it. After they finish the game they may want to work towards getting nice equipment. If Anet remove the need to work towards items people will leave the game very quickly. Anet will never implement your idea as tens of thousands of people will quit or get bored very quickly. You dont like spamming turn the trade channels off. You want nice items work for them. Your not at a disadvantage using collectors or green items.
Inflation? Wtf are you on about? Items are at their cheapest since like ever. You can buy items for 30k which once cost 300k. Ectos were once 15k each now they are 6.5k each. Superior Vigors were once 60k each now they are 30k. Sup Monk runes were once 50k + each now 3k ish each. You clearly have no idea what you are on about. Prices of items/materials/weapons etc are at an all time low.

the people make the prices for each skin not A-Net. The people control the economy and how muchthings are worth, the crystalline sword is a perfect example of this. When you look in the price check part of the forum for pricing rare skins it says the buyer can make the price whatever he wants because its so rare. We as a whole decide the price of skins for items not A-Net so therefor you cant have a merchant telling you how much something is worth. Its all supply and demand, your idea couldnt work.
