Derek's name is mentioned specifically for reporting a rather glaring PvP error/exploit with armor that has recently been fixed.
Anet's update notes mention Derek, only days after he finds an exceptionally rare item?
Amazing coincidence? Somehow I doubt there is "no" connection here.

That is pretty weird. If ANet gave him a special item, he should just say so, instead of encourage all these blue FDS scammers. Now, if it really did drop... well... awesome.

I find it funny that the much malighed FDS gets a popularity boost after it changed its colour.. (still I want one)

Wow..wicked sword...i like that nice blue flame thingy effect...its like fire..but its like cold fire

Sorry, Conspiracy Theory 101 tells us that there should be, but nope. And remember, there's really no way to know that this poster is the same person mentioned in the Update Notes. Not to cast any aspersion on the OP, but they may be unrelated, simply the same handle.
I don't know about the sword -- it's very pretty and I've not seen one myself. That's not to say they do not exist, by any means, or even that they are exceptionally rare. I'll see if there's any info on these and post if I learn anything of interest.

Thanks for your insight Gaile.
It is a shocking coincidence indeed then, as this is indeed the Derek Ravenclaw IGN and reporter of the bug/exploit.
The light of Dwayna must have just been shining on him this week.
Enough people have posted in this thread that they have indeed seen it in game that I have to believe it exists.
Amazing coincidence indeed!

i've seen a marked increase in "+armor vs undead" shields and weapon mods recently. also several bow and staff skins that where not really seen/known before have been popping up. no reason anet couldnt be injecting new skins into the game. perhaps he was given that as a reward for pointing something out, and if so maybe it's just the first example of a new skin that will start showing up. could also be some "cycle" that is rolling through the game- "random" drops that go in "trends" as the game ages. seems as if certain weapons/shields/items show up more at different times. only time will truely tell.
now lets hope for maybe red "eternal" items, or perhaps some different colored storm bows.....
*edit* wow! took me 22 minutes to post while watching the news. maybe gaile will give us some good news.

The PVP Armor fix was actually fixed a while ago, it has just now gotten on the list of changes! Thanks for backing me up Gaile! ;-* You know it's really me though! Man, I like exclamation points!

That sword looks incredible, i just hope A.Net don't attempt to "fix" it (Hint to Gaile)
monk muffle
boo i hate propane =P but actually id sell it its gonna go for A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
unienaule
Yeah, I'm not quite sure what you meant about wait to see how popular it is. It's the only one known to man. It's value is pretty much... infinite. Put it up on sell, make sure Nef, Marik, and Akhilleus see it. Then let the fun begin.
The Mighty Toe
There are at least 3. Some trader guy tried to sell 1 to me for 10k even though it had terrible stats. To everyone who has flamed Derek: do you really think this person wants to waste their time faking a video or a photo. Let it go. You are merely envious of this guy's item.
fakedud
thats pretty sick
kg_lildude1
the way the camera moved in the video isn't humanly possible because it was too perfect in movement, i'm gonna have to go with the general "its fake" bandwagon
BBoy_Manchild
OOO i figured it out. instead of the mysterious missing 3rd green bow, the blue dragon sword is dropped :P

Umm, did you even watch the video? I just finished watching it and the camera barely moves. 
You sure that you're not on the 'doobie' bandwagon?

Derek,
I'd be happy to prove these posters wrong
I'll be in-game and perhaps we can discuss a way of meeting.
I'm also interested in seeing what it looks like

Several people have seen Derek in game with his fancy new sword (lucky sod), i don't see why they'd all lie.
RotteN
hey, he got a different color FDS, instead of yelling "omgomgfakefakefake" you should be happy he actually went to all the trouble to post a ss and a little ingame movie about it so you all would have a chance to see it and know it's out there.
just my 2 cents

Well, in the past, a lot of people have put up items that would be ridiculously awesome, and people fell for it. Now, this does not appear to be the case here. However, people did not want to look like idiots as had happened to me and many other members of the GwG community in the past. Sorry to Derek for being a little too suspicious.

I wouldn't expect you to understand the fine art of video & computer animation.
The way the camera view was moving was not HUMANLY possible, and i must conclude that it got COMPUTER EDITED, there is no way a human can move the camera view that perfect and precise.

Foppe
Is it just me or does the sword look bigger than a regular FDS?
Knido
nah, his charachter is probably just smaller than your normal warrior, so it just looks bigger.
and it would be awesome of they found a silver fellblade next

kg, I don't know what your deal is, but that movie in no way moves perfectly. It has a slight jerk halfway through, then moves like I could move my camera. You should go watch Zacks GW movies. Those are way better, and he didn't fake them.
Alone)
Lasareth is going to see it for himself, or trying to. Why don't you guys give him a break and find out for yourself? For those who say its a fake.
Wheez
*Has to clean the ground for like an hour cuz there's crap and drool everywhere* Gj, very good find. I hope more will get dropped tho. Btw the movie worked soon as I got DivX.

great find . one of my char's has the twin dragon head Jeweled Staff... so i think i've played all my cards in the "find a rare skin" game. won't stop me from killing everything in SF to find one of these, tho.

i dont see why everybody is actually making a big deal out of this, its still a fiery newbstick, people who use equipment that they think looks good are less effective then people who use they best they can find

Because it is possibly a unique skin that has not been seen prior to this week. If you can't grasp why people may display an interest in that, no one here can help you.
No one claimed this was the uber leet sword of BBoySlaying, we all know any collector weapon can accomplish that goal

If you dye it, you will only change the dragon on the sword, not the blade or flame

I'm sorry if my english is a little bit off , but i see no way that it is impossible. On the other i think it is very plausible, because near the end of the vid he even stops and starts again. I also think that is reasonable because windows has a setting wich slows the mouse down a tad, and it becomes smoother.

Seriously, I was gonna just record it sitting there then I thought people would say "OMG IT'S FAKE CUZ HE DIDNT MOVE THE CAMERA" so i moved it around a bit, just not very much.

still whether its fake or not is nothing if the guy isnt even going to show it to the person offering 5k just to see it? why? because it is probably a scam/fraud/fake/ or w/e you want to call it.
