Guild Wars 2

Hello,

so after an accidental salvage of an item with a game store -bought skin transmuted onto it (possibly transmuted again after the initial application of the skin – anyway, completely my fault and such a stupid mistake!), I got to thinking why that’s even possible – there is sometimes real money behind these purchases, as was in this case because I bought gems just to get that armor skin set.

Suggestion: Prevent accidental salvaging of items with game store -bought skins on them by adding a warning to them, no matter how many times they’ve been transmuted before, or possibly making them unsalvageable, no matter how many times they’ve been transmuted before. As I don’t know if this is possible, and alternative would be to make the skins withdrawable multiple times, but that’s probably not going to happen, so the warning would be great, if possible! SOME way to prevent such things should be really really nice, though, anything goes! Skin wardrobe would be ideal ofc but that’s another thread! :) These are “valuable” skins, so such things as hand-slipping and stuff should not destroy them with one click!

Positives:
- accidentally salvaging game store skins would become much less likely even for dummies like me
- dummies like me would be less afraid of buying gem store items in fear of accidentally salvaging them (there are ways around this, but sometimes you just haven’t had time to drop the armor into the bank for later use, or have forgotten to close the invisible bag in the inventory screen…). Added convenience and safety is never bad, especially if there’s real money behind the purchase of an item.

Negatives:
- Idk, people would have less reasons to buy the same skins over and over from the gem store because they are no longer accidentally salvaging them…?

I personally think this would be great, even if it would mostly profit people like myself who are a bit salvage-happy or accident-prone. :p
