Guild Wars 2

Can someone please confirm that Hall of Monument skins will still be free to pick up and apply to armour/weapons??? They’re the only skins I use on my <80 characters because all other ones require using stones.

They will remain free and will now be more accessible through the Wardrobe system.

Indeed. There is a Twitch Livestream answering many questions about the Wardrobe, as well as this Sticky: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Dolyak-Express-March-28-2014/page/2#post3883615

HoM and AP skins will be free to apply
