As I told, they are not leaving GW1 alone. They just can't affor to make new materials, so most of what they will do will recycle existing stuff.

Since the idea was made up with the want of a gold/ecto sink, here are other ideas I have/have seen mentioned before:

In simplest terms, have 1-2 sets per campaign able to be crafted and put in HoM.

Prophecies:

Deldrimor (just needs to be able to be put in HoM)

Titan [The weapon skins would work the same as the Titans themselves (they change appearance based on the area), craft at Glint after Titan Quests, Materials could range from Molten Claws (come on, they need a use ) to nearly anything, as they can look like anything. The rare material should be Ecto as Titans are "tormented souls." Best crafting materials for these that I see, Ecto, Wood, Iron, Molten Claws (say 25? Don't see why not) 5/10k]

Factions:

Celestial: [Crafted from Ectos, Sapphires (they have a sapphire look, kinda), and Spiritwood Planks, maybe wood or iron as well, for the common material addition]

Zodiac: (Crafted from Spiritwood Planks, Iron, and Ectos)

Nightfall:

Tormented: (already being put in HoM soon)

?Margonite?: (couldn't think of what else would fit, other then maybe Ancient, but I think Margonite fits better. Would have a look like the energy parts of their body with some skin/metal-like textures, basically a mix of Plaugeborn and Chaos/Eternal, craft from Ecto, Iron, and idk...)

Eye of the North:

Destroyer: (Taken care of)

?Slavers'?: (Can't think of a better name, very little things to go off of in EN. These could have skins that arn't like each other, but all having the same name. Crafted from various materials.)

Core:

Eternal: (Crafted out of Spiritwood planks and Ectos only, uses Chaos Axe, Storm Bow, and all existing Eternal weapons, along with whatever is missing of course :P)

Obsidian: (Already got an Obsidian Edge, why not have other Obsidian weapons? Crafted from Obsidian Shards, Onyx, Iron, and Steel, this would be the priciest, along with the Eternal set)

Prices can range from 5k to 20k, depending on the amount/type of materials used. Eternal and Obsidian would be the most expensive to craft and probably should cost 15k with those materials, and at least 15 of the Rare Materials.

Thats just my thought of a money sink, which would probably have more favor then just "making things shiny." Although the idea of giving weapons an elemental look would be good (the lightning, rock, fire, ice things, but what about my bloody vampiric weapons, would love to see blood dripping off of them ).

Even though I'm a warrior most of the nicer martial weapons belong to the warriors attribute lines, and that really doesn't seem equal to the other classes, and yes I know you could always go warrior secondary or just make a caster weapon but thats not the point. If you can't have equality with the skills at least have equality with in-game items.

^ long quote is loooooooong.

If ectos could be placed in one of the dye slots in combination with other dyes to produce a shiny effect on different weapons or armor, that would be an interesting sight. As for the Chaos/shiny weapons, I doubt any other weapons have a dye pattern close enough to those that they would become obsolete.

i agree it would be great on the economy and would give more options to weaponry than just limited to the warrior. I love variety!

EDIT: Just so long as they'd make it so weapons are customized afterwords. We don't need glow-item elitism.
But with these restrictions.

3 colors arent enough, we need at least 100, we dont want to have everyone in one party having the same color glow.

Nah. Making weapon glow would remove a lot of the elitism of other weapons such as Chaos Axes or Fellblade and such. Though I think Dyes should have better effects on weapons (They don't do much on most of 'em and a lot can't even be dyed!)

No thanks, Anet doesn't want a WOW clone and frankly neither do a lot of people who play Guild Wars. And ectos are too expensive as it is, don't need something else that requires them to craft. The chaos gloves glow and so do chaos axes and other things as was mentioned. Sure this could be cool, but not really necessary. /notsigned

Since we'd be using ecto's, i want a Sword made of ecto!
(btw, Isn't ectoplasm like ghost turd?)

It'd have to be big, and purple (possible slimey though ), with like a swirling almost-liquid animation!

er...
Maybe just a lightsaber + mini lightsaber (for offhand) to look like i'm dual weilding.
