Guild Wars 2

I’m just throwing this idea out there for the heck of it. When the new gem store armor skins come out I always buy at least one of each set and I’m sure many others do as well. Having many alts this can get kind of pricey and I usually don’t get them for more than one character for each armor type. However, usually there is a piece or two I would like to have for an alt but would rather not like to buy the entire set again.

I think it would be an interesting idea to find a middle ground. Perhaps some kind of stone or item in the gem store where you could copy the skin off of an existing skinned item without stats of course. For example, one stone to copy a helmet skin from the existing one minus the stats to be used on the helmet of an alt. That way the character with the original purchased skin could keep it equipped and for the alt the customer could purchase the copy device for one item skin.

Due to the expense of the full armor skins I think this might find a good middle ground for customers that purchased the entire set to be able to use selected pieces on other alts and still bring in gem sales. I know I would do so because many of the sets I don’t use all the pieces anyway but would like to say have shoulders from the skin set I purchased on an alt as well as the character I purchased the set for.

Of course the armor skins could be sold by the piece as well. That would be easier.

Just an idea.

The skin copy idea won’t happen for one simple reason: Legendaries.

Your issue of having to buy multiple sets of the same set of skins even though you only want a single piece could be dealt with by having an option of buying just some pieces of the armor sets.

Then have it disabled for Legendary skins.

Good idea, OP. I’ve been wanting something like this for a wile too.

I’m only talking about the armor skins for purchase in the gem store. Also I already brought up the point you made in your last statement. Heck if I had my way they would be infinite like the weapon skins from the achievement chests. That’s just a dream though.
