I have 400 leather crafting and this backpack really bugs me. I wouldn’t mind if it had some random ambiguous leather pieces but to blatantly have a bear’s head on the back pack feels wrong to me.

I do not support cruelty to animal, thus I do not support having a dead bear as a display.

I hope that ArenaNet reiterate this decision.

Well, my character is not Norn, nor the Norm carries a head of a dead animal with them.

The backpack needs a little class and less barbaric.

There’s a symbolical and divine difference. When the Norn wears the animal skin, they honor that animal and use them as their spiritual guide.

Now look at the backpack. It’s plain animal cruelty.

The topic here is that, the level of taste when choosing a design for the leather crafter’s back piece. There are many other options to choose from but why put a bear’s head on it? That head is of no use for leather crafting.

In comparison to the other back pieces, you can see the progression starting from a very basic back piece then to a more elegant piece. While leather back piece, starts out to be elegant then to a pile of dead animals.

Beginner leather worker will have their materials and tools all over the place, but a more experience leather worker will have their materials and tools organized and more systematic. The 400 leather crafter back piece doesn’t reflect the level at all and the head of a dead animal only makes it worst.

Irrelevant. Regardless of how you stretch it (pun intended) this is still just as much a dead animal as the bear. If you actually believed what you’re saying you’d be against any and all leather and fur.

Irrelevant. It takes less than 22g to get Leatherworker to 400 ( source ), so nothing prestigious.

Btw, you know what leatherworker uses to craft?
Hint: It comes from dead animals.

So solution is still in place: don’t wear it, or make something else.

So let me get this strait. if I throw away the head, sheer off the fur, then use the leather, Thumbs up, no problem. If I use the whole skin, not wasting anything, and leave the fur on, then it’s bad.

Sir… you don’t make sense.

Also as far as skill goes, it’s much easier to strip it down to a skin and use bits and pieces of it, but keeping a full skin intact and in good condition, that’d be hard.

It’s plain animal cruelty.

Maybe the bear was snuggled to death, or died of old age in a comfy cot, surrounded by his bear-wife and bear-kids. Just because the bear has died doesn’t mean he endured a moment of cruelty in his life.

Maybe he even put it in his little bear-will that he wished to continue to roam Tyria with your PC as a constant companion after his death, meeting new challenges and felling foes. Constantly watching his friend’s back. Literally.

Don’t let your twisted perception of this bear’s noble dying wish tarnish the beauty of what he set out to accomplish.

I get that, but why carry the head around? You can surely accomplish what you’ve described without the bear’s head.

What if I don’t use bear’s?

My point is, ArenaNet could’ve made it more generic and ambiguous rather than blatantly display a dead bear.

It does feel a bit weird to me too (Bearbow Ranger. Loves her bear pet. Has a skinned bear head staring at said bear pet all the time), but all the same, if you don’t like it, just reskin it. That’s what Transmutation Charges are for.

And it would make sense for one of those “evil” Rangers that see no problem with using their knowledge and skills to exploit the natural world for their own benefit. Or a Leatherworker that’s basically a taxidermist and has no affinity for the animals that die for his trade.
