Guild Wars 2

I love the look of this new item, but why did you make it so bad? It’s only golden, I cannot upgrade it via forge (since it doesn’t go into forge), it only has an Infusion slot, no Jewel slot, I can’t transmute it (lest it lose the Infusion slot too) and so the stat combination HAS to remain something I don’t like(
Can’t you make this into a normal backpiece? Or make it Transmutable? Or at least Upgradeable? The only other backbraces without a jewel slot (which would make un-changeable stats a bit more bearable since I could choose the jewel) are ascended ones, which have higher stats to make up for it.

I haven’t finished upgrading my ... uh, Fractal backpiece thingie yet. Does anyone know if I’ll lose the skin if I try putting the flower look onto the Fractal item and then try the last Mystic Forge upgrade later?
