Assume much? You know what they say, it makes an ASS of U and ME. You also assumed wrong. I personally find MJ to be the best player to ever set foot on the court. If I had an autograph of him, it would be proudly displayed on my wall, where I would show it off to every visiter, and I would gloat about it to my friends.

Do the people who have customized items from GW players go around bragging about it in the game? Do they 'display it on the wall'?

If it was just something random customized by them, i wouldnt be interested. But if it was like the actual axe that... idk... sundcritted and won the factions championship because of it, i might be interested,



also, i don't want dave holtz's axe, or ekelon's hammer.

all autographs have sentimental value only when there is an appreciation of that person for the guy giving the autograph as a person, or for characteristics of that person. for example, sentimental value for michael jordon comes only from the fact you like basketball and appreciate his talent for the game. i dont give a rats arse about it and would happily flog it to someone who did.

as with all good games, guildwars has a competitive pvp environment with players who take the game seriously and achieve a high standard of play. if you appreciate guildwars pvp games then you will know the 'famous' players and as people want for autographs of real life stars, others may lust for in game celeb autographs. the chances are that if you want one of these items, your guilds / flist is full of pvpers too and it is to those that you would show off / gloat about the items to. the 'this is sad' card can be played, but such ignorance can never be argued with. many situations can be described as sad; appreciating someone who can hit a ball with a stick a really long way is sad, appreciating someone who bounces a ball on the ground for a living is sad, appreciating someone who is very good at playing a computer game is very sad, but its about what an individual finds interesting and respects.

the value of these stays in game, mainly due to the fact any of your irl friends will look at you oddly if you say something along the lines of 'i got (insert name) to give me a signed sword / axe etc,' but this does not mean these items are any less valuable sentimentally to someone than a signed autograph by one of the professional american rounders players. the chances are that if you want one of these items, your guilds / flist is full of pvpers too and it is to those that you would show off /gloat about the items.

i wouldnt be interested in collecting any such items, but im sure there will be some people who would collect such items in exchange for in game gold

He played one or two matches with us then logged off. I was able to have a little chat with him when I guested him to my hall, he said he might be staying. Don't quote me on it, though.

That's so 'shopped. I can see the pixelation difference around the "Customized for..." line.

I couldn't care less about anyones in game items. If I want to look at signed items, I'll spin my chair 180 degrees, as I have a game worn 1986-87 Oilers jersey signed by some guy wasn't any good on that team....Wayne Gretzky. (purchased at charity auction)

In my opinion, that is worth a heck of lot more than a crystalline sword.

No, I read the Original post. My point was I don't get sentimental over anything in a game. Somebody elses in game stuff has no value.

I'd like to see customized sized stuff go away. Ok so if you want to have your name added to it that's fine but still let it be equiped. It would be like "Hexually Repressed's Sundering Chaos Axe of Enchanting". Once customized like that the name can't be changed, so if you wanted to wield it with someone elses name on it there you go.
