The weapon skins are not going for sale on the gems store, they are simply being made available to buy with 7 Black Lion Weapon Tickets as the Wintersday lot yesterday. So I can only presume the prices of the fused weapons will stay as they are, at least for a while.

It used to be on the release page. Now it appears that they have removed all the ones that haven’t happened yet and will instead update it day by day, since they left the first one on there.

Also, the full description for the fused skins is,

Braham’s mace and shield are perfect for bashing in the heads of any threats to the safety of Tyria, and your arrows will never fly truer than when they’re drawn from Rox’s quiver and fired from her shortbow! If those skins aren’t to your liking, you can visit my Black Lion Weapons Specialists and pick up Fused Weapon Skins for seven Black Lion Claim Tickets.

… mmm. 7 tickets. Sounds like a lot of keys.

Glad to see the dye kits make a return. If this turns out to be true, I guess when Colin says they want to protect an investment made by players (in the form of the molten jet pack or the monocle) he meant as long as it didn’t clash with their ability to make more money.

Why can’t they just charge us gems for the fused skins

Because at an average of 40 dollars a ticket, you’ll be forking out 280 bucks for a fused skin. If they priced the skins at 280 dollars in their store, you wouldn’t buy it.
Most will give up halfway, which means big $$$ for Anet.

I really get the feeling ANET is out of touch with reality if they’re asking 7 tickets, or they’re actually aware what they’re doing is exploiting those with a gambling addiction.

I find it VERY unfair… seven tickets? I had to open like 50 BL chests to get 10 scraps and then redeem a ticket to buy an aetherblade weapon. So… is that an offer? really? I don’t think so. I think it’s abusive. I would gladly spend 20-30€ in gems to buy my two fused daggers directly, but not to play lottery.

Well… I guess I’ll spend my gems in dyes… which is lottery too, at the end.

For people saying they have to gamble for this stuff, that is totally false. Let others gamble and then just spend gold and buy it off the BLTC. If you do a search in the BLTC for “skin” you can see all the Sclerite, Molten, Aetherized skins on the market. Just buy them with gold. You can also buy Black Lion Keys by converting gold to gems. You don’t have to spend or gamble real world money at all. So tired of the whining that you have to spend hundreds of real dollars/quid/euros on this stuff. You don’t.

Well, I’ll give you that, you don’t have to gamble. But it’s either that or spending an insanely amount of gold on a weapon skin… and there are still a lot of people asking why farmers exist…

Of course they’re aware. And this is exactly why:

The skins are just a bonus to the sale and not actually part of it. They’re permanent additions to the BL skin vendor.

Why not dump the scraps and just have the tickets drop at the accelerated rate? Everything costs a million tickets to buy, anyway. Even if you get lucky and get 5 tickets from 5 chests, that’s still 450 gems worth of keys.

I wonder if Dragon’s Jade will get changed over to tickets.

If they wanted to slip the baby hippo in there somewhere that would make one player very happy -ahem-. When I saw the kitten I for sure thought we would see the other baby minis also!

Well, first off, at this point implementing your suggestion is downright impossible. People have already spent their scraps for the skins. Do you think for one second that a noisy portion of those people would not be here, demanding that they get as many skins as they spent in scraps?

Second off, the skins are meant to be rare. Currently, the skins actually are decently rare. Making them drop at a 1/5 chance would totally annihilate that. And heck, at that point you would truly get people asking for the skins in the Gem Store, as putting them in the boxes wouldn’t be warranted as a means of preserving rarity.

And if you don’t want to do that, the Pearl Carver you can make is just as powerful as the $$$ pretty skin version. So it’s a non-issue. It doesn’t actually mean anything.

This game has some of the most aesthetically pleasing “trash” skins and assorted gear that you can get just by playing the game, of any MMO I’ve ever played.

Furthermore with this update, several of these skins have been “ungated”. As in, you don’t need it right this very second or they’re gone forever.

You can make several of these a long term goal. You don’t need to spend $200+… unless you need it right this very second, right now.

Then, maybe.

The reason for charging 7 tickets isn’t to make maximum profit (though that probably is an added bonus for them), but rather to keep a rare item rare. The cheaper it is, the more people will buy it. The higher numbers bought, the cheaper it is to buy with gold. That’s why when new weapons have been released they have been 1 ticket as opposed to 5, to give them off in abundance first then cut back the numbers drastically (keeping it rare, but not making it extinct).

Buy the fused weapon you want from the TP, and save yourself hundreds of gold or dollars.

The sad thing is, you are serious.

And the serious thing is that it’s true. I look at the Gem Shop as an expensive Gold shop. Don’t play enough or mismanage your funds enough that you don’t have the gold to do that? Then you either spend gold like a drunken sailor, don’t save enough, or it’s because you work a lot of hours and have more expendable income for entertainment. At some point, you have to decide whether or not those weapons are worth what you are willing to pay, or whether or not they are worth saving your gold up for.

Complaining that they are too expensive or too much a gamble isn’t looking at it correctly. ArenaNet allows us to buy them from other players on the BLTC with in game currency. There are myriad ways to get these skins without spending a dime. It also offers a way for players who obviously have a LOT of expendable RL money that they feel they can drop to convert to gems, buy some keys, and then they convert that cash to gold selling the weapons. It’s a win for everyone.

If you lack the RL money to buy gems, do what I do: Use the gem shop as an expensive gold shop. Don’t spend RL money you don’t have.

They ARE too expensive. 7 tickets could take you 1000 gold.

I genuinely wish I could sell you my Fused Staff Skin. I have one in my bank because I got a Fused Weapon Ticket during F&F (out of the one and only box I opened) but hated all of the skins, except the Staff slightly less so than the others. I figured “guess I’d better use this ticket before the vendor disappears.” But I can’t trade it to you, because apparently people who actually spent their tickets don’t deserve the right to trade with other players (lolwut anet).

The issue isn’t requiring 7 Claim tickets; it’s not allowing players who have and don’t want these skins to sell them. Currently there are 6 Staff skins on the BLTC (being driven up in price by people who TP flip); there would probably be at least two or three dozen more on there (and this goes for the other weapons too) if previously bought skins weren’t magically untradable.

And sadly I don’t have 250g to buy a Fused Staff Skin and “unbind” mine to sell both… what a kittenty solution.
