So the Inscriptions didn't work out as many of us were thinking. Collectors didn't lose the value of there collections. Who lost money and who figured it would only apply to nightfall items? I feel sorry for the mass, who brought items to put inscriptions on them (me included ).

You should've known that the inscription info wasn't 100% complete and that its only a rumor that you can put them onto prophecies and factions weapons.
I am so happy that all those evil jealous people hoping that other will waste all their time didn't get their wish.
Be thankful that NF items will probably be much cheaper compared to factions/prophecies item.

lets all remember, that guild wars is only but a game, nothing lasts forever, and its not the worst that could happen, or could it?

Don't worry, if enough peoples complain to A-Net about adding inscriptions to all weapons type. In the future we might see a new update that allow this feature.

lmao, hes not asking for sympathy, and for your information I dont consider myself rich, but I have those "evil jealous people" like you said in my friends list who have given me more then enough to let you know they arent greedy

QQ more. No, seriously... Because, as is stated below:
Well, there you have it. Just like the Material Storage. Though I for one hope it never happens, even though I'd like it to. It'd thrash the economy.

The fact that he is not happy that he lost money trying to use the rumor to his advantage, but wouldn't even care if other people lose millions and countless hours of time spent for their own stuff....is what pissed me off.

The information we were given about inscriptions was very vague and investing in rare skins to 'inscribe' always had a risk factor. If you have enough gold to make such risky investments and you then lost out, it is your own problem. I trusted that the development team would be so economically carelss about inscriptions and I think their choices were ideal for hardcore, casual and beginner players.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before you are able to use inscriptions on all weapons.
Kalki
I don't think he's asking for sympathy. He's just wondering who else didn't get what they expected. I can understand Anet not putting in Inscriptions for the first 2 campaigns right away cause it would crash the economies there, and a lot of people with perfect Chaos Axes, Crystalline Swords, etc... would be pissed off. On the other hand, Insignia's should work with all armor.

The inscriptions will more than likely apply to all sections of the game eventually, but I would wait for the OFFICIAL GW statement first.
Hyper Cutter
Inscriptions only applying to NF weapons is stupid enough, but restricting insignias to NF armor was pointless and essentially killed the point of the damn things (i.e. dislocating stats and skin for armor)...
Sid Soggybottom
I also think that eventually the inscription system will apply to all items instead of restricted to NF items. This was just a transition so that those rich hoarders with "uber" Tyrian/Canthan weapons don't go into a giant hissy fit blow out.
prism2525
I have an idea. Why doesn't anet make it that when you CTRL+click your weaps they show purple/gold/green names? That way you could notice from a natural 15^50 rare from a build up blue one.
Sable Phoenix
Inscriptions and insignia really need to be applied to all chapters as a change to the core design of the game's drops. Otherwise they're pretty pointless and don't really change anything.

To the OP...you took a gamble and lost, grab a hankie, wipe away the tears and stop whining.
Sidra
Why would anybody want inscriptions for all armors? It's a Nightfall feature, as are many things in Factions that don't carry over to Prophecies. If you lost money, that's your fault. Sank yoo for sinkiiiing.
Malice Black
It's funny how everyone wants new content to be added to old games, they fail to understand that new content is the selling feature of the new games.
Addone_Abaddon
I think this will be like the material storage, started out in one chapter, but eventually went to previous ones.
Akhilleus
the OP is angry that he didnt gain from the losses of others, and then expects sympathy.
i'll pass.

scrinner
The problem is not with inscriptions/insignias being NF only but as the way they were made. Tyria and Canthan weapons were not designed for the inscription/insignia system. Thus they would have to redesign each weapon produced. For Nightfall the system did the work while processing the weapon so it worked. Its not as much as they didnt do it as they couldnt

To all and everyone who would go on to say things like:
SEE WE TOLD YOU ANET WASNT GONNA SCREW US OVER U WHINING BITCHES LAWL. <3 ANET.
Remember, disscussions bring about changes and for this moment in time inscriptions only affecting weapons found in Nightfall, most players old and new seems ok with it, but it cannot be confirmed for sure that the application of inscriptions to all weapons wont not have been the case if the masses in the forums have voiced against it in these and similar forums/fansites. So remember that changes for the better arent always due to the zealous faith in Anet but good reasonable/constructive suggestions/critisim from discussions....when we are not busy flaming/PvPing each other over in these forums.

The attacks on me for the things I have said simply prove that the truth hurts, and people will do or say anything to justify and rationalize what they are doing. They can't ever belive they are wrong. No, of course not, it's the person making judgment. Ya, that's the ticket.

I didn't loose money, I just kept weapons I found that I wanted to mod or get mods from. They just went to the trader. If you try and play the market sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. It may even occur that eventually both side loose (after you get rid of you stuff Anet adds inscriptions into Tyrian and Canthan items). That's speculation/gambling and I can not feel sorry for anyone. Your gonna loose sometimes.
However, I agree that I want them to work on older chapter's stuff. I really like my ele's armor but would rather have different stats. Since the skin isn't available in Nightfall, oh well. Same thing with some weapon skins.
Not a big deal. You could still have them found only in Elona, but I would like to apply them to older characters.

Minion Master One is a Tyrian. He's wearing a SupVigor and SupDeath runes on his AL60 armor.
Minion Master Two is an Elonian. He is also wearing SupVigor and SupDeath runes on his AL 60 armor. Furthermore, he has the inscription that gives +15 armor while controling 5 or more minions.
Both of them have 10 minions, the melee noob ones. What do you think which one has the advantage?
As for weapon inscriptions, those a nice but can be un-balancing too, but not drastically as a +X armor armor inscriptions.
On the topic of losing money - I took a gamble and bought a 20<50 sephis axe from a friend for 10k in hopes of making it 15>50 for my tyrian warrior. I was disappointed but my world didn't crumble because I don't have a 15>50 sephis.

All the inscriptions do is decouple those mods from the skin - which is a good thing. Factions saw a start to this, Nightfall took it a step further. The only "unbalanced" part may be at what prices each mod stabilises at. If the good mods suddenly become 30+k per armor piece then you can blame that on inscriptions. Even with the new stats they would have just done the Canthan way and had it as an armor set.
It's more an issue of new armors being available in later chapters and new content not being backwards compatible. You can complain about that if you want, but I suspect it will fall on mostly deaf ears. Most of us like new content in new games and Anet wants to sell games - go figure.
Sidra
ANet wants to sell their new chapters. They need a selling point, and something special. You want them to take it away and give it to everybody. To people who , some garunteed, others not decided, will not be buying Nightfall. GG to your idea.
