Guild Wars 2

I was wondering what is the purpose of these vendors? Is it just to sell white coloured armour/weapons? Wouldn’t it be better if they sell that, but with specific skins in accordance to their geo-locations?

Meaning, a white armor/weapon vendor in Shiverpeaks will sell norn-themed skins that’s different from the ones you get from karma or cultural vendors. And ones that are in Tarnished Coast would then sell sylvari influenced weapons/armours.

They could then be tiered; from simplistic designs (lower levels), to moderate designs (mid levels), to ornate ones (higher levels). And they can then be more expensive as the level increases, just like cultured armours/weapons are.

Maybe not only just that, but novelty things as well! The merchants that sell just salvage kits or harvesting tools can sell knick-knacks that make sense with the geo-locations, or a thing that lets the players grow flowers on the ground (sylvari or florist-type merchants).

Merchants in moot halls or food-related establishments sell special types of food/drinks with bonuses in them as well, and not like the current ones that just sell firewater or ale or cold wurm soup. For example, merchants in Divinity’s Reach’s quadrants can sell Canthan or Elonian cuisines. The possibilities are endless!

Do you have any additions to any ideas in which you wish to be implemented for Tyria’s merchants? Sound off below!

Make them skin vendors, since they serve no purpose otherwise. Not even stats, just geographically (or by order/race) appropriate skins. I support this.

Guardian, give more reason than no. We came for an argument, not a simple contradiction.

I came for a simple contradiction.

The question I quoted was, “Would it be better…" I answered “No.” Simple enough. It would serve no purpose other than to be an aesthetic for a useless vendor you are not likely to go to on a regular basis. I wouldn’t consider doing so to be “better”.

The white skins serve the purpose of letting us move a soulbound skin to another character on the same account through transmuting.

The stats on it are lost, but many folks use this to recover an item for the purpose of style.
