Guild Wars 2

Hey guys!! I’m new to the forums but I’m no stranger to GW!! I’ve been recently thinking about new exotic and unique weapons to use with our characters! And I don’t mean rarity.. Like, I’m a major fantasy fan and I like to create new ideas and concepts for everything involved with.. well.. everything fantasy.. Lol Now my idea was all characters have specific weapon classes, however, there’s too few choices. like why not hav the ability to use a transmutation stone on ANY weapon in the game? It’s just for looks right? Why does it matter what it looks like right? If you just make it so you hold the weapon based on upon what it looks like you should also be able to make it work. Same goes for armor. There’s cool armor I can’t use because of my class but I still want to look cool. Don’t we all? I think we could make it work. Like my weapon of choice right now (If we had the ultimate transmutation in place) would be a specific underwater spear I have that looks sweet but it’s underwater only and on the wrong character and wrong class. It reminds me of an Ashandarei (Mat Cauthon’s spear from the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Well, I’d love to be able to use that! It’d match my character most excellently. xD Thoughts? Questions?

errr lore wise that would not make sense.

do not support.

Weapon choice determines how people fight against you in pvp, recognizing weapons is a part of PvP skill in knowing how to anticipate attacks.
Also in pve knowing the weapons your allies use also means you are better prepared for what they can do (strategically placed fields for example).

Altering your armor’s look from heavy to medium/light for example is also a no-go as it ruins the theme of the class.
