Scammer

Anet won't and doesn't replace the so called lost items caused by a human error, which this was. If it was the game that caused it, then maybe, and I say maybe, Anet would replace it if you would ask and prove. Hmm... well I thought they could do some kind of thing... nevermind. It was when people were in Betas that could reatin the items. So sorry if I raised the hopes a bit too much... ...but who knows? Another one of those items will drop sometime, whether it is sooner or later.

To those people suggesting the droks sword, not everyone wants a short sword or gladius or w/e. Some people want thier crystallines, fellblades, chaos axes, or w/e nice skinned weapon. I don't see too many people runninga round with battle axes for the simple fact they are ugly as hell. I'm sorry you got scammed, but that guy has 2 eyes and a brain like you. He just used his to do wrong. :P I would wield a plastic toy axe for all I care. Looks of weapons are overrated. One, you don't see them in cities, so you can't show off. Two, when you are on a quest or mission, it's killing time rather than going around showing off weapons. Besides, you don't see melee weapons, for that matter, that much anyway when a tank is surrounded by some random amount of foes.

Fine if you want a Fellblade and whatnot, but it seems to me that such weapons, because of the looks add a good number of gold pieces to the actual value of the weapon. Which is stupid.

i dun see anything? X_X The pic was removed as it displayed character names. Not allowed unless they consent to it.

I honestly don't get it.

Firstly, seeing as you don't care about looks, this doesn't affect you in any way that I can see.
The only way it will affect you is IF IF IF you really wanted one of the rare weapons but can't afford it because the prices have been driven up so high.
Otherwise, why do people feel the need to deem others stupid for spending ludicrous amounts of gold on a nicer looking weapon?

Yeah I know you didn't call anyone stupid, you just said the logic behind the price is stupid. However, you may as well have called the rich folks stupid.

Premise 1: A person who shoots himself in the foot for fun is stupid.
Premise 2: I shot myself in the foot to have a good laugh.
Conclusion: I am stupid.

Moreover, there are no godly weapons in this game - something which I love. I could be using a battlepick and be as effective (or perhaps even more) as the person using a dwarven axe. Since there's nothing exceptionally special to spend money on in this game, people have taken the liberty to deem the rarer weapons as the godly ones in this game and feel justified spending huge amounts of gold on them. This really shouldn't affect you since its not your money and its not your time.

If you want to join in, lets keep this nice and flame-free.
