Well, we had it in the original Guild Wars. So are we going to have here?
Some ideas that i think it would be nice to have it THEME BASED. At every 3 months we would have a conteste with the armor and weapon categories.
The themes would be any dungeon (So Ascalon Catacombs themed stuff would be from ghost to just old Ascalonian stuff, Caudecus Manor would have a more noble themed skins), the world bosses like The Shatterer and Claw of Jormag, areas as maguuma, or even more restrictive as southsun cove (or go even more restrictive and create a contest for Karka based weapons?)
Armor would be from single pieces like the special gloves from HotM to a full suit of armor. No need to do three types of armor. Back slots also make part of this categorie.
Weapons would be… Well, everything that the game already count as weapon.
The selected itens would be exotics, the names could be from the authors, but Anet would have the final word to avoid some offensive or not enough lore friendly names of course.
The itens would them drop from chests insides the theme location, bosses, respective boss or even the mobs from the area, it would depend from the theme also.
The winners of the contest would gain the creation in game, and the best ones a nice gem reward maybe?
So its viable? Good idea? Bad idea? “I hope you die” idea?
