Yeah I know the “Princess” looks like Moto wearing a dress lol.

And a blonde wig, you can see his black hair poking out underneath it :-)

Greatsword price just jumped from 39 gold to 64 in a day O_0

Has it been confirmed that these skins will not be returning, yet?

Nice. Both the GS and the shield are double what I paid for them, makes me feel better about my investment decision.

Yeah, I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner. There weren’t very many for sale and it wouldn’t have taken much for people with hundreds of gold to corner the market.

last night i checked there was only 34 on the market. I am wondering how many there must be in people’s banks. Slowly speculating.

I lucked out and got one in a chest a while back. At the time it was going for about 33g, but I decided to hang onto it until after April to sell. Seems like the right decision.

I wonder if someone bought out all the lower selling greatswords to sell after April.

Edit: Actually it looks like all the skins spiked, so maybe one person or a few people did this across them all. Or maybe people who don’t run the SAB are trying to get a skin before the price spikes even more.

Yeah, the supply has gone down by at least 100 for each skin. I was surprised to see how few of each are left.

Sorry if i missed it but can we save these Baubles till the next SAB installment, as i’d hate to keep say 250 and find out they are useless in future patches..

Sounds good to me, I just put in my Sword and Greatsword around 25 and 65 respectively, hopefully I reach those marks, they’re not too far off.

mmm a new question about future of sab

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/sab/The-future-of-SAB/first#post1883652

“I have a few questions about SAB once the new worlds are released.
Will the old rare drop skins be available in the new worlds?”

reply from Josh Foreman:

“I’m almost certain they will be like every other piece of temporary content. Gone when the event is over”

sooo i think the skins will not be available next time…

The future of SAB is very up in the air right now. I would not hold onto any baubles if I were you. If SAB is re-released, then the baubles will most likely be useable. However they would also most likely be farmable again. It’s not worth the risk. For all we know, Josh Foreman could get fired for being so transparent and reasonable with the community, and we would never see SAB again.

Thank you for you’re response and it does make sense but i’d really love a red post to confirm what you’re saying, i’m really up in the air with what to do at this time…

Josh Foreman.8250:

We don’t have any reason to use a different currency in future expansions. I’m certainly hoarding some bbs myself.

Josh Foreman.8250:

I said that I think they will and that I’m personally counting on it. BUT, and this is a big, fat but… The parts of SAB that come into contact with the rest of GW2 are not in my control. There are stakeholders who run the various systems like TP, Commerce, Crafting, etc. and they all rightly have a say in how SAB will be affecting their systems. We haven’t sat down with all those people to run our future plans past them yet. So the final answer is that there is no final answer.

Hahahaha, love this.

There’s also this:

Electro.4173:

but if you’re doing it for fun and not just to amass more and more bubbles, then I see no problem.

Yeah, this. We will re-balance our reward structure for the next release so hopefully we don’t have a situation where people are doing ‘work’ to get something they want. I know the problem is impossible to solve completely, and there is some sort of side-door enjoyment SOME people derive from grinding a path over and over in pursuit of a distant reward. But it’s not our vision for SAB.

Personally, I really like one-time skins. They are just cosmetic and it’s a good way to show prestige for vets of the game in a few years.

I definitely agree with this. Early adopters should get some sort of bonus, and stat-less skins are perfect. No one is freaking out because they can’t get Halloween skins, same will happen with these, except these are much more common. Having limited series’ within the game gives players more opportunity for unique looks. And that’s kind of a big thing in this game where most rewards are visual.

Because buying skins from the TP shows prestige somehow? FYI the Chainsaw Greatsword is now almost 300g at the time of this posting and it only seems to be going up. That’s not cool especially considering these items are bound to characters after use (As opposed to GW1 where weapons can be endlessly traded around – which was a much better system).
