Now that the BMP has been out for a month and we kinda got over the whole "OMG!1! It's shiny and new! I need to have it!1" - do you actually still care about the weapons?
Or did the novelty wore off?

When the weapons were released - I was semi-interested in some of them (mostly in terms of what I am missing since I don't have the BMP).
Now - I can't even remember a single one.
So even if there would be a way to obtain them - I wouldn't actually care anymore.

How about you? Would you still kill to have that super-sweet BMP skin or did you move on to something shinier and sweeter?

Stuffs ok... but I've moved on to high end stuff for the heck of it. The game is over why not go get the best stuff now that there's never going to be new armors or new goals to save for...

I have to say, I love the BMP Weapons. I no longer have to spend $$ to buy q9 weapons, instead I just do a fun mission, and earn some money while doing it.

The weapons are still incredibly exquisite and very well-detailed, including some cool shading effects. Best skins in the game, in my opinion.

I took a peek at the items at Kamadan the other night when I realized "hey who are all these new people hanging out up here". Some good stuff, and I've been considering getting the BMP's, but it wouldn't be for the items. I just finished one campaign and am about to finish my second. At some point I'm sure to FINALLY find some really nice Mesmer items, instead of the 10 trillion gold bows, axes, hammers and swords that I always seem to get. I just got to the Deldrimor War Camp and want to run through Sorrow' Furnace a few times, hopefully some nice stuff will drop for me. Talking about this makes me realize how much I still haven't even seen in the game...I've barely even touched EoTN.

Didn't really care when they first came out(got 1/2 for heroes), my feelings towards the weapon's still remain the same.

BMP things are kinda super-collectors weapons. I don't say no to them.

The only thing is that those missions get old real fast as you simply cant get any replay value by i.e. using different build or different tactics. (WTP Togos misson as Rt/N minion bomber )

The plan wasn't to discuss the accessibility of the BMP.
Like I said - it's all about the skins and the predictions of some users about players not caring about the newest toys after they aren't the newest toys anymore coming true.
Nothing else.

Am too new to have gotten in on BMP, wish that wasnt the case the missions sound fun, the rewards look sweet, and man walking past the NPCs and knowing I cant do that stuff kills me.....

Aside from that I have other weapons that are cool, and plenty of other missions to do yet, so I cant complain too much...hopefully they have another offer sometime so i can get the BMP eventually.

I love them! I got it and then was travelling for work for most of December. So to me,it's still brand new. I've playing since July 2005 and it actually rekindled my interest in the game. I love the bow additions for my ranger and the Tegu stuff is awesome. Now I can use all the mods I've been hording!

I finished all the 'quests' with one character to get one set of the weapons.....if I need another hero weapon (and have the mods for it) then I will do them with another character....but for now I look at my olias and his tengu staff and gwen with her mursaat one and think they are nice, but dont really feel like doing the quests again for some time.

Well I don't grind the shit out of everything when it first comes out, so I still have a lot of weapons to get for heroes and the like. There are some that I'd like to have for my own characters, but I'm waiting until I can afford all the upgrades for the weapons before I bother getting them - otherwise they would just sit in my inventory waiting to be used.

I have the BMP and don't use the weapons unless I have a hero that needs one.
Some of them might look nice but there's nothing special about being able to poof a weapon out of air.

I'd like a chance at some of the weapons as they are some of the nicer skins for what I would want in a few weapons, other than that, no. I could really care less, especially since I dont have the BMP.

I'm definitely down with the skins. In fact I'm trying to get the right mods for them so I can pimp them all around Tyria.

My warrior, my 'Guild Hall Smells.......', pimps a modded Mursaat Shield. I'm working on modding a Charr staff for my rit, and my female necro (aka my av) is working on modding curses Tengu wand & focus.

I actually haven't started the Palawa Joko one yet; then I'll decide who gets to pimp Undead stuff.

On a related note, if NCSoft decides to re-release the BMP, these items will lose a lot of standing in my eyes. I'm proud of them because I had to jump through their hoops and give up the EOTN box for it.

I'm still using them and when I get new mods for casters, I do the missions and put the mods on the new weapon, and slap it on a hero. I still LOVE the Tengu and Undead weapons.

The Bonus missions are fun for me at least. I run the Gwen mission all the time when I am bored.

In general you are right, you can live without those items. I hope it gives you some relief.

I still use the following weapons

Axes: a ton of...
Tengu Axes (I first thought it sucks, but it ROCKS. Huge blade, great to open monk bellies!)
Undead Axes (got tired of the sword - if I had FoW, I would use it)

Swords: None (Tengu Sword needs a female warrior, does not work with John Wammo)
Hammers: None

Staves: multiple of each
Charr Staff
Tengu Staff
Undead Staff
- I like the staves!

Bows:
Charr Bow
Tengu Bow
Undead Bow

Foci/Wands:
None, though they are really nice.

Shields:
none, had some 10 Undead shields, but I just got the good old Defender/Aegis from Prophecies.

Why? The Shield has a nice skin, but it is flat as a wooden plank, it is not bent, makes the shield float and look odd with some armors.

Scythe:
I love them all, but did not decide on one yet. Did not play my Dervish recently.

Well, I'm not one of you hardcore players that can afford to throw away thousands of ectoplasms on a single weapon...so if I was given the chance to buy the BMP, I would. All of the skins are good, in my opinion.

Those weapons would be easier for me to obtain than anything else I can think of. Plus, I'd like something else to do.

Welcome to Guild Wars, the game that originally was meant to have anything available to anyone with little to no grind...

I'd still love to get my hands on a lot of the skins, the staffs are very nice and i particuarly like some of the undead skins.

I'll get it if its made available, but then riverside will implode again.

I like the missions but feel the weapons are too heavy metal/fantasy looking for my taste. I just don't get the "black & spiky = teh leetness" thing ANet design team has going for both weapons and armor now.

I'm upset at Anet for being so shady with having people purchase the BMP, then not allowing anyone to purchase it once it is released.....it makes me distrust Anet. It is like them selling a surprise box, where you don't know what you are buying until you open the box, then once the box is opened, nobody can buy it anymore whether it is good or not....

Definately agreed, although i do have the BMP, but no point in penny pinching now adays. Go for that rare skinned weapon you wanted! Go crazy and get Obby armor. Yea the skins are CRAZY sweet, but there are cooler stuff. Its a mere easy to obtain rare skinned weapon.
