The thread name says it all. Its those little extras that make a game worth palying hour on end, and the ability to name that favored farming/pvp weapon would rock, imho. Wouldn't it be sweet when that gold Crippling Axe of Fortitude becomes "The Droks Runner" in your Wa/Mo's 4th weapon slot? When you take a weapon to a weapons merchant, you should have the option to change the name. After all, if Rangers can name THEIR pets, why can't I name my baby?

Or just a flat 1K for the priviledge of naming it :-P

Me, I don't weant to sink any more than 1K into it, but I'd do the 1K, sure. Still, doubt they'd do this, even if it'd be cool.

Hmm...

"I'm wielding an Uber-godly pwnsword of Noobslaying"

Somehow this idea doesn't thrill me.

as long as they have filters so you can't use offensive words or have words like uber, godly etc.

/signed..................As long as its on customized weapons only. I wouldn't want the option on items that you can still trade unless you have the option to change the name once you purchase it from someone..............I don't want someone elses stink on my sword, even if it is a max crystalline or fellblade.

Anet will be too busy with bans. Can't wait to get hit with Dwarf Fukker or the like.

How about....if you "name" an item, it gains a new name based on the mods and the name of the customizer.

Sundering Long Sword of Fortitude -> (Insert Character's nam)'s Sundering Longsword. Certain mod combos would give more unique names.

how can you compare naming a pet to a weapon :?

When a weapon is customized it should read..
Instead of-
Sundering Great Axe of Fortitude
Nevin's Sundering Great Axe of Fortitude (With some cool font or something)

It might help if the person that names their customized weapon is the only one that can see the custom name; everyone else would see it's regular name.
This might not be as cool, but I would still pay 1k to change the name.

Give users the option of toggling whether or not they want to see the customized weapon names.

I, for one, would like to rename my Ranger's "Drago's Flat Bow" to "Drago's Rocket Launcher."

LOL, Flatbows are the antithesis of rocket launchers.

Naming weapons would be interesting, but opens up potential for abuse. Then again, if people are offended by that sort of thing and don't set their chat filter accordingly, it is their fault.

"The Best Mighty Man's Razorstone"

yeah, that does sound like a good idea, have your name come before the weapon when you customize it. it would help stop scams with people trying to trade customized weapons.
