There’s no reason not to do it tbh.

It could cause issues on the already transmuted ones.

How?

It’s an entirely different piece now.

It was already stated that it won’t be done due certain technical limitations.

No, it’s not. Old Fractal weapons are still weapons and as such, they need a transmutation crystal to be fused with another weapon’s stat. There are thousands of old Fractal weapons in use these days. If you were to change the item type from Weapon to Skin, it is extremely likely that it will mess up every pre-patch Fractal weapon.
Remember that they don’t just become a new item while transmuted, otherwise things like the Transmutation Splitter would not be possible in their current state..

Are you talking about the old unused ones or the old used ones.

If old used ones, again, it’s an entirely different item now.

If you’re talking about old unused ones, we should be allowed to take them to a merchant and get the new skin version. Exactly the same as they did with soulbound to account gathering tools.

And technically be compensated for gems spent on crystals (just like they did for the tools), but that’s an entirely different story.

I’m bad at explaining, as I lack the technical slang to do so.

What I was trying to say could be fairly obvious to anyone who knows about programming.

This, I think they could do this, but I’m guessing they’d need a vendor for each item or something maybe.

Then don’t force the transform from weapon to skin.

Do it exactly like they did with unlimited gathering tools. You put an npc trading the old weapons for the new skins. Players will trade what they want (untransmuted ones) and there will be no problems with the already transmuted weapons.

This is actually a coherent solution.

This is the most sensible solution, if it’s possible to use them as a currency in vendors like they did with gathering tools.
It’ll be kind of annoying adding one tab for each type of weapon, though. They’ll probably have to spread them between several vendors, as it doesn’t seem they can have vendors with multiple currencies like GW1’s crafter NPC, that could have different costs for each item in the list.

the annoying part is that old fractal weapons have no stats, yet are still weapons. they pretty much can’t be used for anything besides a skin, requiring a Tstone.

just make an npc where u can go and convert them by yourself problem solved

I assume the weapon layout has some kind of mystical magical power that makes it impossible to change back into a skin. The same issue with Transmutation Splitters failing to remove skin and giving a statless weapon instead.

… or they could just add a vendor that trades skins for old weapons…

(like they did with infinite gathering tools, which was brilliant, btw)
