Then again, I bought the BMP just to play 4 special missions without any promise of a reward.

The BMP weapons have lost their novelty for me, like I new they would. I do love the fact that the quests were a lot of fun, and the rewards were shiny and gold. It just grew old as quick as anything else with almost no variables each time you play it.
The skins just aren't my style, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that dye doesn't show up on them for the most part. I did use a charr flatbow on my warrior for pulling and energy management (-5e) until I realised it keeps going though my head when I run, so I salvaged the mods & changed it for a nice feathered flatbow.
The quests were a nice bonus, the weapons were a nice bonus, but I don't think it's anything I'd choose to go play again or the weapons are worth getting again. Despite the gold req.9, it just doesn't feel special when I can create infinite copies of them for free.

I <3 my charr maul and undead bows.

I bought the BMP, don't don't find the repetitive grind of those missions interesting enough to be bothered getting the weapons.
bebe
Still love the fact that I have access anytime I want, for a nice skin.. perfect 9 requirement.. and gold.. for FREE. So it's actually kinda nice. 
maraxusofk
i replaced most of my r9 wit the BMP stuff. for example, my vamp sword set and the crippling sword sets of mine are the undead and charr swords.

Personally other than the scythes I haven't used them - until the BMP only one or two of all the scythes out there really looked nice and their drop rate is low enough I haven't found one yet (I refuse to purchase them). The Tengu, Undead, and Mursaat scythes are some of the best looking in the game no matter the rarity or lack thereof.
I prefer some of the other "normal" skins and I already possess them for my characters and their heroes. Though had I not have been fortunate enough to have played long enough to amass those weapons these would have been highly used. As is I am also using some of the recurves until I bother to get one of the skins I really like to drop.
A11Eur0
I haven't bothered lately, but I should because i have a few new characters.
Burning Blade
I still want them because IMO they are the best looking skins available in this game.
However, if you only to have BMP to get those leet skin weapons like me and the only to obtain them is spend real money, I wouldn't bother because it is just like buying gold or weapons with real life money.

I don't care about the weapons, I just wanna play the missions. I don't have the BMP :/

Yes it is a surprise (bonus) box, but considering that was the way it was promoted all along, I'm quite okay with that.
Shyft the Pyro
I've never been one for item skins. My Ele wore his undyed 1.5k Droknar's Forge Pyromancer armor right up until the release of Nightfall. I still use the Tyrian collector weapons and foci, both on my characters and my heroes. Getting access to BMP content and finding "clean" weapons I'd need to mod before I could use them was... meh.
To me, the BMP contains no replay value. I breezed through all four missions and haven't even bothered to come back for "discoveries." Yes, the stories were nice, but I did not enjoy "solo" play (another reason I'm not too excited about actually going through GWEN) enough to grind through the same content over and over, all to receive yet another weapon I need to mod. I get enough as drops from lockpicking and vanquishing, and those - even if they're bad - actually give mods or turn into cash.
I guess I'm more about functionality than skins, which is why the BMP has felt like "throwaway" content to me. And while I did like the stories, no, it was not worth the $30 in character slots I had to pick up. Next time, I'd rather miss out.
EDIT: Didn't see the above post when I typed the above, but I'm a shining example of "buying the BMP," Sirius
I would never have gotten those character slots if the BMP wasn't on the line.

Technically you didn't, but effectively you did. It doesn't make much difference, of course, but as far as considering it a "shady deal", it does - difficult to lodge a complaint about something you got for free.
Sha Noran
A great bit of the appeal of some weapon skins is their rarity and value, rather than their actual appearance. They're certainly some of the best looking skins in the game, however as they have no trade value of any kind, I'm not interested in using them. Yes, that view is slightly lame, however that's how I feel and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Cebe
I did the missions 25-30 times to obtain the weapons I wanted on the characters that needed them...and now, there really isn't much more I need. I like items for their skin usually, not their rarity and value, though that is a plus point. I don't go out of my way to buy expensive weapons...if one drops for me, I'll often keep it, otherwise the BMP weapons are great. The missions are only worth doing as long as you want weapons however...when you have all the weapons you want, there seems to be no need to continue to complete them.
S_Serpent
I have the BMP and although I love some skins, I don't have them, since they are customized and take up way to much space for me.
If only all your chars on your account could share em, then I'd be more inclined to actually go for lots off em, esp. the tengu and mursaat item (those are really gorgeous almost to unbelievable to be true).

Arduin
Never really cared about the weapons tbh. I recently finished all stories + bonus... so I'm pretty much done with the BMP. Pity I can't sell it
cyddry
Its easy to get req 9 weapons with the BMP, no need to go find the right collectors anymore
Jongo River
I still love 'em. Anything nice that drops goes straight on a mule, for eventual trade, if I can ever be bothered. I'm using BMP weapons almost exclusively now.
I like that I can pick a style and mod it the same way across my toons, for easy recognition. i.e. Mursaat=Zealous, Tengu=Sundering, Undead=Vampiric, Charr=Furious.
If I had one wish, it would be that the NPC's were present at the Great Temple of Balthazar, so PvP toons could get them too.

It would also have saved space, as if we would need the 5 guys taking up space in every capital city.
This is a nice way to SHOW that there is a BMP. To rub it into the nose of those who wanted but could not buy it. And to sell it later over the store, I have no doubt that they will do it.
Sarcasm, hehe...
trobinson97
Still like the bmp skins over almost everything else.
Turtle222
well i get many many people asking me what amazing weapon im wielding (usually undead). I.E. Undead Scythe is legendary. So are Undead Daggers and Undead Maul.
love them to bits. now Zodiacs are so last year

Meh I don't really get what the big deal was about it. I played the BMP the first day it came out and haven't touched it since. The weapons weren't as great as people make them sound.
puffzilla
I've got a few guildies that gone nuts on the missions and theme equiped all of their heroes. I kind of think it's a really neat clean look to have everyone with matching items.
Having matching rec 9 items on heroes is a really nice way to go. I haven't done it since I don't have the space to keep my old stuff around.

Olim Chill
I got BMP, tried it, and didn't really care for it. I did keep some of the weapons. I guess you can't 'get over' something you were never really into.
boxterduke
The ones I like the most are the undead weapons, I cannot get enough of them.
Speaking from my point of view, I'm trying to get fow armor for the rest of my characters, and the bmp weapons provided a nice max skinned weapons to supply my hungry warrior and dervish for nice looking weapons. My warrior drains my gold wanting all the shiny skins and the swords and axes of the bmp calmed that down a bit so I can save more money for armors.
So to make it short, I love those weapons and glad that they are here.
Also to add, I went with a theme.
Undead swords and axes are vampiric, charr stuff is charr slaying and so on, makes it more interesting hunting down those mods and actually changing skins depending on the area.
I did the same thing, and the weapons were a nice surprise, thank you Anet
