Guild Wars 2

Weapons created in the mystic forge are extremely expensive, requiring stacks of ectoplasm or orichalcum sword blades. While they were worth-while when they were max-stat; they now rendered considerably worth-less with the introduction of ascended stat weapons.

While it would be nice if these weapons were ascended stat I do not believe that to be likely; thus now that they are essentially appearance only items I believe the cost of them should be reduced. Otherwise I fear the graphics of them will simply go to waste as less and less people bother with them.

All about the looks,

I don’t see anything wrong with what it currently takes to make them.

Well for one, when they were max stat they did not also require a transmutation stone to use.

I think this is a good idea for a pretty good reason that is ‘THE CASH SHOP!’

Lets face it new skins come out and they are having more and more fancy effects. Look at the Dreamthistle weapons compared to the Mystic ones or even one I planned to get, the Eye of Rodgort. Those skins are losing their appeal faster and faster as Anet introduce newer and fancier skins to the game via the cash shop.

The eye of rodgort creation mat’s etc. v’s just buying dreamthistle scepter (I’ve seen dip as low *kitten gold) was a no brainer for me. I got the dreamthistle. When I now look at the rodgort and mystic weapons it’s like why did I even consider them by comparison.

But beauty as they say is in the eye (pun optional) of the beholder.
