6 million people and only several desirable weapon skins.

It's sad in this game is only really few skins which ppl real dream on. Why anet don't add some new skins? If it would happen every 3 months this game could be still interesting.

I dont count Tormented weapons. Must see its not so much about game prtend to beat up WoW. Shame on You anet...

There were never 6 mln people, not even 6 mln accounts.

Only 5,5mln copies sold. Copies = all games, not just Prophecies.

Also, there are no new skins, because they don't have time even for PvP rebalance. And PvP rebalance takes less time than new skins.

First of all, the game's not supposed to be about phat lewt and looking pretty. If you want that, you'll have to wait until GW2, since from what they've shown so far, it looks to be a WoW knockoff.

Second, designing, modeling, and implementing skins isn't exactly a quick and easy process. It'd take at least a week or two in man hours per skin.

Third, they'd have to find a way to make it farm-proof. Right now, the only way they do that is to tie it to dungeons. You must be new, but it wasn't long ago that Colossal Scimitars and Storm Bows were highly coveted. Things come and go, and while they're generally hands off when it comes to farming, as a whole, the community's becoming more and more clever when it comes to farming skins.

I really dont get what your point with this thread is, are you complaining on the amount of nice skins or on the amount of highend skins?

It's almost two years since i started to play GW, so i am not new. And I know some weapons were worthy much more like Elemental Sword. in my opinnion Anet is iddle about GW 1 and this situation they are explaining - "we do nothing with GW 1 cuz we work on GW 2" I don't believe in it. They should respect milion of players.

So what you're saying is that they should draw resources from GW2 development to come up with new skins in GW1? Well, I'm glad you feel that way, but I think I speak for most of the people here when I say that we could do without new skins for a while if it meant that GW2 was a better game with an earlier release date because of it.

Rare and expensive doesn't necessarily mean desirable.

You end up looking like the Wammo with Obsidian armor dyed black, Chaos Gloves, Mask of the Mo Zing, a Crystalline Sword and a Guardian of the Hunt.

I think it looks ridiculous. The epitome of lots of money and no personal taste.

Unless you really like that particular combo, without any peer pressure, you're basically gearing up to show off to other people.



In the end, you'll be happier going for a combination that YOU like.

I have a couple of guildies who are perfectly happy wearing Prophecies starter armor skins from Kaineng Center. They've found the (usually common) weapons and dye combos to match and boast a very personal style that doesn't look cheap in the least.

Amen to that brother

It's all subjective.

How come I didn't get the memo where it states snoozer80 is now THE deciding factor on what skins are now worthwhile? I'm so out of touch...

QTF.^^
12chars.

Couldn't say better!

I'd care less what a weapon looks like, as long as it has the right stats and mods to do the job.

we all need to go back to Sorrows furnace greens as prestige weps

crystaline sword ROFLMAO looks like a jelly cutting kitchen knife.

lawl, most of the current rare skins that u listed came from design-a-weapon contest. would be cool if another one was held i suppose. anet kinda busy though if they are actually working on gw2. this thread should be in sardelac, suggestion.

Swamp Club. (Not really the skin though)

Most people don't QQ on weapon skins because: 1) most people don't care about the skin or are happy with what they've got (taste is a subjective thing, whatever the market says!); 2) this is not a central part of the game.

There are clearly enough skins, I think what you're arguing for is more "rare skins", which is pointless. If you want to become a (power)trader, look at the new BBC show Million Dollar Trader ;P.

More cookies!

EDIT: I didn't see you only mention BDS for Staff, that's utter non-sense!

Subjectivity is key here. Snoozer, your opinion is just that, your own. You list NOTHING under hammers, but spikey warhammer skin is nice, as is Tetsubo (gorgeous by many people's standards).

This thread is a giant pile of opinion blanketing a simple fact: you are bored of GW. Take a break from the game, play something else. Fallout 3 is great fun on PC if you have a machine that can really push the graphics. Play a different MMO, something.

However, throwing your opinion on something that is the personal taste of each individual is not constructive, nor worth the time. There is no shame to ANET here, only to you for suggesting it. ANET has given players so many options; they try to suit everyone's tastes. At least you like some of them... don't condemn them for this... you can condemn them for a lot of other things, but not weapon skins. That is just cruel.

The weapon skins in the opening post are all rare, which is pretty much dictating their desirability rather than their appearances.

The economy would be very flat and predictable without rare items but I 'desire' less than a quarter of those listed. I'm happy with Bone Staves, Feathered Longbows, pvp-skinned monk items and a host of other inexpensive items.

The need for people to wear their wealth is what causes us to have torrents of black-dyed Obsidian, ninja-chaos-failure monks with Bone Dragon Staves. For those without a sense of personal style and taste, they'll trust big numbers of ectos over their own eyes.

Edit: I forgot to mention the Obsidian Edge/Voltaic Spear + Tormented Shield defensive combo on those clone monks.
