Guild Wars 2

(I did not know what to really call this, and I am not sure if this has been suggested before.)

For some time now, we have gotten weapon/back skins from events. Some you can buy (which are account bound from the start) and some are from drops (which are sellable).

The skins are enjoyable to collect, but takes much space and can only be used once, which makes people hesitate to get them.

Recently however, you got a great idea with achievement reward skins.
(See attachment)

So if we used something like this for all the other skins skins (not included preset like the ones from dungeons), it could become something more to do.

With that I mean that if you buy an account bound skin, all your characters can use that skin just like the achievements. Or if you get a sellable from drops, you can either sell it or bind it to your account.

(Sorry for bad english and such)

Sounds like a great idea, similar to the PVP locker or the bank mini collections tab.

We have the special mini bank space so should be easy to make one for the special event skins.

Meant more like the achievement rewards though, that you can make multiple for your characters.

yeah we need this for the past (and future) living story/achievement rewards

Making it for past skins would make people that already used theirs whine about it on the forums. So I will just recommend doing it for future skins.

(Tho past skins would be nice too. : ))

wouldn’t matter if you have the achievement for the skin it would be placed in the same place to be withdrawn as the zenith weapon skins.

But would be pretty complicated to do so with already used skins, wouldn’t it?

well if it is a skin that is a reward from an achievement, they all they would have to do is place the skins for any achievements you hold in the same place as the zenith weapon skin spot, which i believe you can withdraw and use as many times as you want.

Oh you meant it like that. Well, I personally don’t like the idea of all skins being achievement rewards, I just want them to be like how the achievement skins are.
But that would also work I guess.

perhaps for non-achievement skins have something like the pvp lockers which wont be retroactive and you have to physically add you skins. perhaps you the lockers could be in armories in the cities (e.g. near the dungeon vendors in lions arch and in location in other cities which could be designated as armories)

Yeah, something like that. I think most people would prefer if you could make copies of them so you don’t feel like you have wasted the effort.

Well.. skins take bank slots. Bank slots are purchased in the store. More skins = more desire to buy bank slots = income for Anet. I can’t see this happening tbh. :I

Sadly, that is probably the case. But we can always ask for it and keep our hope up, right?
But am I really the only one who’re struggling with my bankspace even without having a single skin in it? Would skins really make such a differense in banks? Instead skins get less interesting because having them will just be annoying.

Edit: Also, why not taking a small fee for transfering items into this said collection?
50-100 gems might sound too cheap, but judging on how many skins there are and how many skins they are adding, they would make money on that.
