Simple. This comes from an experience of mine. Confusing a fiery gladius (innately on fire) with a fiery gladius (the mod).
Maybe flaming gladius.
Change fiery gladius name.

Never knew why they didn't think of this. They changed Dragon Scythes to Kamas to avoid confusion, should have done the same for Fiery Gladius....

while they're at it, could they at least change "white mantle ritualist" to "white mantle necromancer"? they're not even ritualists!

On the one hand you have the Fiery Gladius that is the tyrian skin and on the other hand you have the Fiery Gladius that is the elonian skin. I think they should change the elonian skin to Jedi Lightsaber or something. Since they changed the elonian version of the Ceremonial Spear to Solemn Spear when they introduced the DAW Ceremonial Spear. Just makes a bit of sense to change it.

/signed, it's annoying when a Fiery Gladius drops in NF and it's the wrong kind of fiery. It has even a scamming aspect since the difference between the two is not that apparent in the trade window, and if you didn't have one before you'd notice that it looks like a gladius and the name says 'Fiery Gladius' so it must be ok, right? Well, too bad, you just got swindled 
(hasn't happened to me since I farm my own stuff but it's a completely feasible scenario).

/signed, I had never thought about that before but that could get pretty annoying for someone trying to sell it. and i doubt it would be difficult to do, but i know next to nothing about programming so thats just speculation

It's a minor fix, but it would be helpful to avoid confusion.

in the trade window the image icons for both blades are different, the fiery one (on fire) looks like it is on fire, the other looks like a blade
signed non the less, i have been thinking about this for a while.

This potential scam is even more sinister since it is practically unreportable. The scammer did sell an actual 'Fiery Gladius' - at least by name, it just wasn't what the buyer had in mind.

They've already changed other weapon names, no reason not to change this one I guess.
If a fiery gladius drops, then it's the fiery gladius skin. A regular gladius can't drop with a fiery mod.
Why would someone buy a weapon they've never seen before?
Also, I must say, if you can't tell the difference between a sword and a sword on fire, there's something seriously wrong.

Well my personal experience is this...
A gladius dropped for me, gold R9. I id'ed it and it was a Fiery Gladius (the mod) For some reason I must not have been thinking about it properly because I got so excited that I was thinking I had a fiery gladius! XD
5 minutes later after I put it on, the wave of disappointment comes over me

I've had swords drop with fiery mods on plenty of times, not sure where that info came from Arkantos?

If it's confusing people enough to request a change, I see no reason not to. A sensible and very simple suggestion.

I see this as part of the 1 skin -> 1 name, 1 name -> 1 skin idea.
The Fiery Gladius and the Gladius are not the same, yet they may be named the same when the Gladius has a Fiery mod.
The Fiery Gladius should be renamed to something else, like Burning Gladius or Flame Gladius.

The only way to tell the difference between the two is if you know what the invintory icon looks like. Which is a poor design decision.

While we're at it, change the Barbed Axe, too. I've gotten a Barbed Barbed Axe before, and it was surreal...

The Fiery Gladius is actually worth something (though not near the price you used to be able to get for it), and I would hate to see someone get scammed out of money for buying a Gladius that has a fiery mod.

ok that makes more sense arkantos, otherwise i was gonna say wtf?? hehe
anyway i got nothing against new name to save the confusion, but i think anet should spend that time doing something more important like "Lock" char, etc.
fiery glaidus and normal gladius have two totally different skins/icons. i.e. when u c it in ur inventory, when u trade etc, u need glasses if u cant tell the diff btw two..

seeing this post made me remember when i came across a guy claiming to be selling a glitched fiery gladius. I can see where the confusion is coming from, but at the same time I have been able to realize there are 2 different things and I wont be taken by som1 scamming or a confused seller
