Guild Wars 2

So I log on today and notice that the Raiment of the Lich has made a return from the previous game. Though I have noticed that the wings aren’t there; so it got me thinking:
“Would be sort of nice if the wings were sold as a stand alone back piece, without the constant flapping”.

Anyone else think this should be a thing this year or next?

Wings will most likely be a Back piece or it won’t release at all.

Feathered wings as a back piece… Yes, I’m all for this as a vanity item.
The only hitch I see is the inability to color back pieces (because I am pretty darn sure that if we get black feathered wings, people will want white or other various colors as well…)
A possible solution to this is using what they did for the Spinal Blades back piece, and give us the ability to change the color via the Mystic Forge.
Either way a non-flapping set of wings would be nice (or if their must be movement, keep it minimal… Like the above mentioned Spinal Blades.)

I don’t doubt it would be impossible for Anet to do the wings like they did the spinal back pieces. The question leaves: Will they do it?

I’ve always been a sucker for having wings as a back/cape item in games, except for this game due to the wing’s constant flapping. From a vanity standpoint, if said wings from the original Raiment set were to be released, it’d go so well with my set. But if Anet decides not to do this, can’t be helped I suppose.

In truth, I think the question is less ‘Will they do it?’ rather then ‘When will they do it?’
Wings, much like capes, are an item that people want, and it can be assumed with relative safety that it would either sell well in the Gem Store, or be a popular item to go out into the world and get.
Their reason for not making them? That I don’t know. I can only guess it’s because that is not their priority yet.
