inscribable crystallines! a temporary thing, or a permanent addition?
korcan
this was recently posted in the high-end sell forum
it may be a fake but if it isnt, what other new/old weapons now have an inscribable counterpart?
SodOffShotgun
I thought they were always that way....from HoH?
EDIT: Ok it probably is from HoH...you can now get inscribeable weapons from HoH.

now that arguably the "rarest" item in gw has become inscribable, what other non-inscribable items would you like to see become inscribable?
i for one, would like to see inscribable guardian of the hunt shields

These will be worth a lot of money regardless. I want one now, though.
Also, same korcan.

I'm glad that the swords are inscribable now. Now all players will give a damn about is req ^^
-.-
Is Anet ever going to make all weapons inscribeable then?
Malice Black
Rarest item in the game is req8 15^50 dwarvern 
very few exist.
very few exist.
Evilsod
It would make the price of Gold crystallines crash since 15^50 is too easy... but seriously, how many Gold crystallines drop in HA? Unless your a power trader who obviously can't manage in the real stock market... it doesn't really matter.
Malice Black
The price of "old skool" Crystallines would rocket..didn't think of that. A req8 15^50 old skool would jump from the 10mill range back up 15-20mill.

This game is already based around the casual player far too much. Casual players got greens/double gold drops..the list goes on. There should be an aspect of the game left for the hardcore people.
This subject is well worn though.

I like it. It's not like crystalline swords made up a huge portion of the gw economy anyway.. I think anet should keep going with this and change the old campaigns to include inscribable weapons so you don't get penalized (loot-wise) for playing them over again.

All weapons should have been inscribeable in the first place and so should the non Nightfall weapons as well. Functionality over some superficial value anyday.

Lol, I was actually starting to play GW again aswell as WoW. Bye bye GW for me. What Anet is doing really baffles me. O well, WoW + Stockmarket owns GW and their cater for the whiners economy. I played casually in Guild Wars and amassed alot of gold and I play even more casually in WoW and can afford mounts + training + epic weapons before I hit lvl 20...
Its not like usuable Crystalline swords were unobtainable. Its not that its too hard to obtain rare stuff, its I dont have the intelligence to do it.

everything that anet has implemented since the release of nf has simply been an attempt to transfer wealth.
the wealthiest players tend to horde gold and rare mats so anet has tried to create a "middle class" of sorts.
with most weapon skins being inscribable, the "casual" player has a better opportunity for decent/desirable skinned weapon drops, that they can actually sell, without investing hours and hours of farming time.

If casual players want decent stuff then they should grind with the rest of the people.
Herb is right this game gets worse and worse for those that enjoy the grind.

Sooner or later Anet will make some sort of trader which you can build any skin you like for a set price...
Im all for it. Let the Guild Wars population see what it feels like to have everything handed to you on a plate for nothing. One of the reasons I stopped playing was because it got to the point where I could buy anything I wanted and thus lead to me not having anything to work towards and getting very bored.

And how will this ruin the game for those who still prefer bright, shiny expensive things? Is their stuff suddenly taken away from them? What am I missing here?

I can name at least 10 MMO's that are free and offer all the grind you want.Not to mention the constant leveling off of one type of monster,the incredibly low drop chances,the pvp system imbalances(Or no pvp at all),and all the other features that only a person with too much time on their hands would actually enjoy.

Inscribable crystallines imo are the worst idea to come to weapons. Crystalline were rare for a reason, the fact that the good mods were few and far between and that thier drop rate was terrible.

I think a lot of ppl are concern about that the price will drop but i think the bigger concern is that Anet is making rare items like crystalline 15^50 common. Many ppl play the game in order to obtain these rare items and when you finally do u really feel a sense of achievement and a great feeling all round. I guess what i'm trying to say is ppl want to feel special and unique by owning items that others don't but Anet is taking that away. They are taking away the excitement, the goal and the satisfaction for many GW players.

And no, I don't give a crap about crystallines. I just find it funny that people are complaining that they're more common now.

People really should stop automatically assuming that people who don't like grind want all the "high end" stuff.

.-. this is kinda annoying.
I never liked Crystallines.
But its a vanity item.
Making it inscribable reduces its vanity value severely.
ALSO!~~!
If HOH is now dropping inscribable, does this mean Inscribables are now going to be CORE??
