Would you buy a famous weapon?

Ok, lets all take a breather from talking about HoM. Head clear of minis and titles? Good. Alright.

Would you buy a customised weapon if it was customised to a famous GW player?

I remember a while back someone selling a bow which was customised to a famous PvPer - I forget who.

Do you think you would buy ChopChop's axe? Or perhaps a Water Staff customised to Daniel Frostwind?

Obviously, I understand you wouldn't be able to use it - but just for the novelty? How much would you pay for such a rare item?

No, I would not. (There are famous people in GW?)

A weapon, tool for killing, with which I cannot kill?
lolzers
Then I'd be no better than people who buy obsidian only because it's expensive (and looks like crap).

Certainly not. Even if I was given one for free, it might be cool for a few minutes then I'd stop caring. It's not like you can do anything with it or show off (not that anyone would care anyway). I definitely wouldn't think twice about auctioning it.

Exactly! I certainly wouldn't myself but I'm pretty sure there are people out there who would be more than willing to part with hard earned Ectos to have something like that.

The fact that some people treat Guild Wars as a job. popularity contest and a tool to enlarge their e-peen is nothing new.

No. That's a gigantic waste. Why would anyone want that?

It's like selling celebrity tissues. The only people who would ever buy that garbage... well...

You can get famous playing a game?!

If you live in SKorea...

I remember seeing a bow customised by "Power Of My Ranger" in High End about 4 years ago. Back when EU ALWAYS had favour because this dude would literally hold halls for like 6 hrs every day!

But no, I wouldn't personally. I'd have it in storage and it wouldn't mean a thing...

Depends on who.

QFT.

But, who buys obi is better...albeit being expensive (and ugly most of the times) at least it can be used..

Depends on who. Depends on what. I think a r7 or unconditional weapon would still have value even if it was custo'd simply because of the rarity. Not like collectors acctually use most of what they have.

I also think that there are a small handful of players I would hold onto or buy weapon custo'd to them. The critera for such is still undecided.



this guy is a famous gw player I think

What, there are famous GW players? Never heard of one...

I would like to see if there is a market for a stuff like this as i have some festival pieces from chop chop and three pounds

I used to have a Fleshweaver customized by [WM] Berry, back when they were the popular primary set for boon-prots. That was pretty cool, but I wouldn't really expect anyone else to buy it.

Would buy it, depending on price, if it was customize to Gaile Gray

No, but I would buy a dedicated mini frog

Like Zodiak says, perhaps if it was customized for Gaile.. Otherwise no...

Famous in GW? say what..?

If I could buy a bow named after me, would that make me famous? Perhaps then I would buy it.
