As you all well know, green items have their own names when you call out what you're holding. "I'm wielding a Victo's Blade and a Malinon's Shield."
With Gold items, why doesn't it say "I'm wielding a Rare Sundering Shadow Blade of Fortitude and a Rare Shadow Shield."?
For Collector items, why doesn't it say "I'm wielding a Collector's Vampric Axe of Trollslaying and a Collector's Crimson Carapace Shield."
Would/should Uncommon items also get the name?
Edit/Update:
With the recent May 2nd patch where drops show up as purple/gold. They could also add to this idea by allowing weapon text to have the prefix and show up with the colors as well.
Hope this is a nice idea, as I would love to see it added. :P
Give Gold and Collector weapons/shields/wands/etc prefixes?

I think that would make the already long-winded names that much more long-winded. Besides who uses anything besides gold items anyways? :P

I don't think its a completely necessary thing honestly..If you really want to see something that a person has, ask.
I'd really appreciate about 1000 things before this as well.

I see this as something minor but very easy to implement. I don't care for any of the new greens either. None of the skins I'd like to see or any decent mods. I'm getting tired of vamp or double adrenaline on hit chance.

Updated original post with an expansion idea based on the May 2nd color drop patch.

Good idea since the drops are now colored to reflect their rarity.

Friendly bump. Surely people would like to show off their custom made weapons a bit more.

I don't think it should show the rarity as another word, just color the existing wording based on the rarity. (IE: Blue, Purple, Gold or Green)
However, I like the general idea.

But what would be done for collector and common items?
Ag3ofshadows
sure i guess, not that big of a deal to me

Anyone have any ideas for what they should do for collector and common items? Sure, they can be shown as blue but that might get a tad confusing.

Green text is used for Guild Wars announcements, such as "A new build of Guild Wars is available...".
Purple text is used for Gaile Gray when ever she talks.
In my opinion it's a bad idea, because it is just a way to allow people to show off there weapons.
Guy1: "Im wielding a Rare Poisonous Recurve Bow of Marksmanship!"
Guy2: "Im wielding a Collectors Poisonous Recurve Bow of Marksmanship!
Guy1: "lol my bow pwns ur bow"
Guy2: "I paid less for my bow and its exactly the same, you wasted money"
Guy1: "tht means im rich"
Guy2: "Who said I wasn't rich?"
*Arguments ablaze*
*Things turn ugly*
Guy2 has left the game.
Guy5: "Great now we need to warp back to town and geta nother member!"
Guy3: "This new weapon rarity label system causes a lot of hassle"
Guy8 agrees.
Guy7 dances.
Guys 3,4,5,6 & 8 have left the game.
Guy1: "nubz"
Guy7 agrees.
That maybe a bit of a bullet-in-the-dark situation but I see it creating arguments between players. I dont approve.

Well, they added colors for sending templates for chats. Are they too lazy to add in weapon color text when you send your weapons/etc to chat? Seems so.

We have:
- White: Events, emotes, monument statues and common items without properties.
- Pistachio green: System lines (loot, rewards and certain events)
- Light Blue: Players without party in outposts. Common, crafter and collector with variable properties.
- Dark Blue: Players with party in outposts.
- Pale Violet: Uncommon (Is not the same as GM's purple).
- Bright Purple: Gaile talk.
- Limegreen: neutral NPC names.
- Green: Unique items and allied names.
- Yellow: Interactive objects. Frog talk.
- Orange Gold: Rare items.
- Red: PvP rewards.
- Gray: Items do not assigned to you.
As you can see, many colors are used not only of items or talks.
That leaves for items:
- Pistachio green: Senseless, they are system lines, most people unconsciously filter those.
- Limegreen: Maybe for Crafted items, but again not a good choice, since there are a lot of neutral NPCs in explorables.
- Yellow : Not very good, since there are a lot of interactive objects in explorables. But a good choice for crafter items.
- Brown: Something to consider for collector items.
- Dark Blue: PERFECT for either crafter or collector items.
- Bright Purple: Nah. Leave it for gaile.
- Other would be too similar to existing ones, like a dark yellow would look like gold.
That makes:
- Collector: Brown.
- Crafter: Dark Blue.
And then make then show names with colors. And done.

Insanely large names, specially in some languages like Spanish.

they could just make the weapon text color appear in the ping, then it would make golds more worth it over purple inscr's and people couldnt say oooooh check out my leet q9 dwarven axe (that they bought from the trader)

This would be abused and become a reason to ridicule other players. Like if I showed my Sundering Crystalline Sword of Fortitude, someone would surely pick on me because it's purple and req 10. No thanks, there's already too much exclusion because someone is not /rank 10 and such.
