Guild Wars 2

So I was just checking through the gemshop today and ohh anet tried it again, making money of something thats already in the game by just adding about 4 flaming effects, lol.

Hope you can still see it despite my mouse being on my character, which is just to show that it’s not the flamewrath amor.

Actually I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same for the medium armor, but cba to look it up…

PS: pitfighter amor available for a total of 90 badges in wvw.

We already knew this a week ago or so. The point is that the community got mad about the first set that was for the human race only and that it costed boatloads of gold. Watch closely, the medium armor is also in-game already, they all are just reskins of existing models.

All three armor sets were already in the game. I don’t see why people are only outraged about t3 when the other two are also a blatant reskin with zero effort put into.
Also:

Yep, already known. It seems most people were too focused on human t3 being sold in the gem store, when all three sets suffer the same problem — already in game, not new, just had flames slapped on them.

I had been hoping to see all three sets get new and unique designs, but apparently that’s not going to happen because the message people sent is that putting T3 in the gem store is a no no, rather than reskins shouldn’t be put in the gem store.

I don’t see why people got so surprised…look around and you’ll see in this game there is loads of recycled stuff. Why will we never get weapons to be dyable? Because it would reduce their options for “new” sets. Recycle design, changing colour and apply some tiny random meaningless animation and ta-da! New set.
Other examples? Those new blue TA weapons, CoE+Mystic weapons, HT3+CM weapons, Glyph+SE weapons, Sylvari and Asura sharing same T1 and T2 cultural weapons…

Also:

Because it is mainly not the fact that they were reskins that people complained about in that case, but rather that it took a human-locked armor and made it available to everyone.
