Hi,

So my suggestion is for the Guild Wars 2 developers to release an official kit that is the tools they used for 3D modeling for things such as the weapons and armor.

Now to give purpose to this kit, my idea is to have a system somewhat like Steam’s Greenlight where the community votes on the armor skin or weapon skin and each week or month a couple or just one gets added to the game. Now ArenaNet could just choose which ones to add and what rarity the item is and the name though if that is easier.

The reason I suggest this is because people want more skins and from what I understand ArenaNet has there hands pretty full with other things so why not open it up to the creative people that play and enjoy your game who I’m sure there are people who would love to design weapons for the game without any compensation as long as they have the chance to see there item in game.

So yeah that’s my idea, feedback is welcome and I would love a reply from a Guild Wars 2 developer too but I guess I can only wait and hope there.

Thanks for your time.

Wouw yeah your post to is very similar, although I don’t really like the idea of player made hearts/dynamic events due to the fact I want them to stick to the lore that ArenaNet has set out. Which is the only problem with adding player made items is coming up for the lore, unless they were just basic versions of items not exotics etc. Although a lot of the weapons/armor as it is that has an actual name doesn’t have any story connected to it.

Coopziana I kind of agree for the above concern with items being connected to the world and lore but as I explained above most items don’t seem to have lore anyway even the named items. As well as the concern that items need to suit the world of Tyria. Although in my opinion the world is a little over the top with all the mixture of fantasy/steam punk/advanced magical technology and now SAB. Which is another suggestion I will probably at some point add the addition of more lore to explain the world and how it all fits together because currently I find it hard to work out how the races have survived against each other, and I think it would be more believable with more of a thought out explanation.

And true there are a loot more skins then I realised as I hit level 80 today and was checking out all the level 80 weapons and armor but I found lots of the named items used the same skins as others and yeah just the same skins repeating over and over again. True though it is only the beginning of GW2’s life cycle as well but I can still see how it would be helpful and relieve a lot of the work off the developers shoulders.
