Guild Wars 2

ANet, congratulations on making this beautiful game and all, but it’s been 10 months since it release and you really gotta do something about the skins. Your current system is horrible, and here’s what I suggest.

Have an NPC in Lion’s Arch that you can redeem your unlocked skins from. I’m talking armor skins you unlocked by buying from the gem store or the weapon/armor skins you got by participating in the Living Story. It should be similar to the Hall of Monuments reward giver, you walk up to him and he can give you any of the skins you:
a) purchased from the gem store
b) got from Living Story, like the Shattered Wing cover
It’s a simple system, you don’t lose much time or money, and it would be a great improvement. Opinions?

There was something like this in Guild Wars 1. In the old Lions Arch there was a vendor who would record your account unlocks and things purchased from the in-game store. You could also show the vendor items which you had unlocked prior to its implementation so other characters could have access too. It worked pretty well so I’m not sure why it isn’t in Guild Wars 2 as well

It would be a great feature, because I’m surely not going to buy skins from the gem store if I know I can use them only once. They should be account bound and accessible through an NPC. Same goes for the Living Story items.

I’v not bought any skin from the TP yet but that would indeed seem logical to have. Only being able to use it once would be a shame…

GW1 also had Cosmetic slots, something that we don’t get with GW2. :/ I wish we did, it’s a much cleaner, better system than transmogrifying… sorry, transmuting.

I wish the costume vendor would make a return, and that “town clothes” were useful.
