I really want the Greatsaw Greatsword Skin and the other ghastly halloween shield as a drop in-game. Please implement it rather than a lottery base last year or BL chest drop.

Can you please give pve grinders a chance to obtain these skins, that would be great. And don’t let these drop rate low as Portal to Heart of Maguuma. I’d rather benefit get a precursor/exclusive skins.

TL;DR: Are Greatsaw and other halloween skins gonna come back as better RNG drops

I doubt it, and honestly I want it to stay the way it is. Rarity adds value to items.

Probably. They may even come back easier to obtain and crash the prices like they did unbreakable bell. Anything’s possible with Anet.

Oh god you asked for an old skin to be put back in game? Get ready for a bunch of replies from “vets” demanding old skins never come back because they lose their “exclusivity”, since clearly skins only have value if other people are denied them.

I do agree that they should come back in some way, rng or not (id prefer less rng, but w/e), but I doubt everyone will support the idea.

If we’re remotely lucky at all; ANet will bring back the lottery system where we have a massive RNG chance to get a RANDOM Halloween skin.

I still have Shiny Foil things left over tbh.

But as usual; tough cookies those items are kinda rare and have value but ANet will do whatever they want.

I spent $50 on the first halloween on keys. I got nothing, I don’t want another repeat. Also, it’s too expensive to trade money to in-game cash

BL 0.001% dropchance for sure. If its a loot drop, its going to be 0.00001% dropchance instead.

lol never said they were… thanks for getting off topic though! I just find it laughable that this gets asked for by a vocal minority EVERY year and EVERY year Anet says no… last year they made a way for people to grind for a lottery and still QQ every where… Sorry but that SMACKS of entitlement. They IMPLEMENTED a way for people to get them and STILL people complained. Know why? Because in this day and age people just want to be handed stuff for nothing because they feel they are entitled to it. End of story.

Get it through your heads people… They aren’t coming back but IF they do it will be in a lottery format so get to grindin!

As precursors ( which now will be able to get without RNG ), old skins should have a standard price and time needed to get it.

Purchasable only during the specific seasons should be also fine, and with a standard and high cost ( like 10xBLCT ).

You will have at trade post:

-Less other skins ( cause ppl will save up for seasonal )
-Lower price ( every rare skin will have a price )
-No more speculation.

Btw, should be also good make an outside trade post, to avoid Black Lion Market fee.
ANET, if i’am correct, is actually banning scammers, but it does not give you back the item scammed.

Set up a minimum of AP to join the outside trade, and lower the scam risk to zero or something like ( cause think nobody is gonna lose its account with high AP, for a 1000g scam ). AP needed should be like 12/15k for an instance.

sorry for the OT, but what do you think about it?

ps: i wrote it cause also paying a Chainsaw Greatsword 400/500g less should be also good.

—> hyperinflation inc

the system now is fine

if you want to play risky games you can with trading by ingame post.

all others that use tp are secured and the 15% fee helps to stop the inflation a little bit

no need for officially secured elitism outside trading system

Why that?

Selling items on the Trading Post requires additional coin fees, based on the total sale price.

Listing Fee (5%) — This nonrefundable cost covers listing and holding your items for sale. This fee has a minimum of 1 Copper coin.
Exchange Fee (10%) — After a successful trade, the item exchange fee is deducted from coins delivered to the seller. This fee has a minimum of 1 Copper coin.

So, for an instance, on a 4000g item you are gonna pay 200g to set it at ah, and 400g after some1 buyout ( and remember its rare to buyout ) it. So, from TP, u will get 3400g, and the buyer will pay 4000g.

You are claiming that if the buyer save up 600g there will be inflaction? rly?

edit: no u missunderstood. not an official trade. just an outside group ( like a sub forum ) where people can sell and buy.

you will be surprised such forums still exists O.o

but will never come here at official forum !

.

just look up by yourself what inflation is.

Its always good to have an gold sink/take gold off the game ( and thats one of the barely ways in gw2) to avoid inflation.

yes if all save up more money there will be RLY inflation my friend

Of course will not here

but also, the fact is, prices re crazy ( and sometimes you have to remove and lower the price cause ANET itself. Like 3rd birthday reward and dyes ). Think im gonna give it a shot tbh.

last year they made a way for people to grind for a lottery and still QQ every where…

Do you seriously think that a lottery with a limited number of prizes is a perfectly fine way to obtain items for people who really want them? It’s not really even grindable :D It’s more like Anets way of slapping everyone who wants these skins in the face and laughing at them.

But that’s why you’re probably right, I don’t think that Anet will rerelease them. Not in any other form than a raffle.

We won’t know until Halloween though, because Anet actually never said “no” :X

As one of those “vets” who like that the old skins are kind of exclusive, I am also very egalitarian about it. If a skin (or item with a skin on it) cost more than 500 gold on the TP, lets have the forge toss them out in with same speed as precursors. There, fixed it, and in a equal and fair way for everyone.

(Type in the word “skin” in the TP and sort by price to see which skins do not drop any more. Some sadly do not have the word skin in them so its not a 100% catch all search).
