I only wish Anet was smart enough to treat mini pets the same way as these skins. Maybe then people would put their minis in the HoM. >.>

Let them fix the hall of monuments first. As for the skins being available to all, that is a good thing. My Furious Chaos Axe of Charrslaying, Demonslaying, and Fortitude Have always been nice- but an Inscibable summit axe will be the icing on the cake.

I have glooms,inscribable shield of wings, yet, that shield in the contest with the demonic face and the dragons is what I want! Never worried about the Crystalline. I think the ele sword is a touch not my taste, but that new mammoth Blade is sexy.

Guildie of mine got a req10 gold Tribal axe from a chest in EoTN

He also got 4 green axes (I forget the name) that have the Mallyx Reaver skin from the end chest in a dungeon. Sold them for 60k each.

It just gets status it deserves.

(Yes, i have one of theese, even customized, but i dont give a **** about market value.)

If there is something to cry about, its people who value their collection for its market price rather just because they like those weapons themselves.

Besides: Reall collectiors have old style ones without inscription slots, those wont loose any value, but in fact gain it.


Would be interesting to know if Anet make gold drop too.

Saying Crystalline is ugly is an opinion not a fact btw.

Yah.

I like them. Different from most GW weps. Cris + Eternal shield gets the most, "thats a nice wep set" from people in pugs than any other item i use.

I have yet to get a really rare weapon of any sort. No luck on drops to this point after over two years, and too cheap to buy one. Maybe I'll get something I want now if they are becoming a bit more available in GW:EN.

To be honest though, so far on all my characters, my very favorite weapon is the Infected smiting wand I use on my farming monk.. It fits so well, looking like a badass spiked mace. I don't care that it's purple and not even max damage.. it looks really cool.

Yah, but usually from 15 yr olds

Seriously though, i never liked the skins because they dont seem to 'fit' with any armor if that makes sense. A steel sword and shield fits but a 'glass' shield and sword? But hey, long live diversity, the more skins the better imho.

In short, who cares?

Its a butt ugly skin and being able to get things at lower prices is never a bad thing if you ask me

Try not to let this descend into flames: we all know some of us disagree on the importance of rare items, so let's keep that argument to a minimum if possible.
Yay I can finally get the sword of my dreams without spending tons of ectos, you just made my day <3

It's good to see that PvE players can get their favorite weapons now. Thanks for sharing.

It seems like just about every skin that is currently not inscribable is now going to drop in GWEN as inscribable. Fine with me. Don't really care about the Crystalline, but there is a different skin (shield) that has been relatively out-of-reach for me that I finally got my hands on, thanks to my wife getting it as a drop in GWEN:




So yeah, I'm happy

I also like the crystalline skin and have liked it since I started playing 2 years ago and own one and all but it's inscribable. I wish I could trade it for a non inscribable one..any takers?

Bad news for traders thas for sure when GWEN opens its doors. The days of even needing any gold seem almost over. Ectoes from 17plat maybe 19plat at their highest down to 4plat hahaha. Gold bot farmers much be losing a fortune now there is just no need for much gold anymore.

have to agree with you, everything seems to be becoming more 'common' if thats the right word.. only things that you would have thought hold some value were torment wepons as they dont drop, but doupers kind of shafted that, atleast there prices havent dropped by much!

Check this:

I remember someone mentioned this one can be obtained via drop so at least Grognar's one seems to drop in GWEN.

Get off it, some people like the crystalline. Some people also apparently like the look of the short sword / tyrian gladius, which I think is the most silly looking toothpick ever, regardless of how accurate looking it is. It's preference; anything else said is false and just trying to make someone else feel bad about something he's proud of.

Bleh, with GW2 looming in the distant horizon, nothing will be worth holding onto in GW1. Item unlocks mean little to PvE players at this time.

To those suggesting that traders/bot farmers will be screwed, think again. Unless anet nerf every item in the game to inscription, there will always be hi-end items selling for +x amount of ecto.

And unless Anet makes all skins available at merch + all armors available to choose at character make + gold rewards from quests so large that no-one needs to farm for materials, there will always be those who are smart enough to play the market for their own gain.
