I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned. Nearlly every RPG game (except for oblivion and some others) are missing quivers of arrows! (eg, Diablo 2, Lineage 2, to name a few)

Where do rangers pull those arrows out of? Their ass?

Seriously, quivers of arrows aren't hard to make, in fact, they could represent a new money sink. Zodiac quivers of arrows of fortitude + 10 health. Or Sundering quivers + 5% armor penetration 5% of the time. They would look cool, and make rangers more logical in the fact that they have ammunition. You will need a quiver if you want to fire, a bow doesn't work without a quiver of arrows. Maybe sell a default quiver from merchants.

Also, could Anet get our characters to wear our equipped weapons on ourselves in town like in World of Warcraft?

Please read the index.

Press CTRL + F and type "quiver" then press enter.

Then

delete "quiver" and type "toggling weapons"

Personally, I don't think quivers should give Rangers any benefit. It would mess up the balance of the game. Quivers could be implemented, and so theres no clipping between a cape and quiver. Characters will have to decide to toggle off their cape or toggle off their quiver, they can't be on at the same time. (No Quivers in PvP then, have a better solution?) The quiver would reflect the design of the bow, simple. Shadow bows would have a dark corrupted quiver with dark feathered arrows... Etc etc..

Seriously this ISN'T WoW, this game has very little in common with WoW, obviously you don't get the concept of this game, so you probably would be better off playing WoW.

WoW isn't the only game with this option... Jesus I'm getting sick of the WoW references.

Dude, he mentioned WoW himself.

And you might as well get used to it, since it's not some random reference.

GW IS very different than most of the genre games.

And crafting should never be implemented in GW, it just doesn't fit in the game.

WOW! Me too! lol But NWN also has quivers, KOTOR has ammunition(I think, been awhile). In fact, I cant name another game besides Guild Wars that doesnt use ammo.

A lot of games don't require you to carry ammo, nothing special about that - I guess we should have crystals to energize wands and staffs as well?
