Guild Wars 2

Has anyone suggested having skin items that are already unlocked in your collection to have an option to salvage into transmutation charges instead of wastefully having to destroy them?

The skin item is already basically a charge, since it lets you apply that skin one time for free.

No. This would be a broken system, mostly because you can already get a lot of the “free transmute” items that you have unlocked from the achievement panel, any time you want for free.

If they implemented this, you’d have people making dozens of copies of the free transmutation items from their Achievement panel, just to harvest them for free charges. Charges that usually you have to pay for or jump through hoops to get.

So, no, this will not happen.

The wintersday weapons skins, which are dirt cheap, also come to mind.

Oh, I didn’t even think of those Wanze. Then, not only would you have people getting charges ridiculously cheap, it would also hurt the people that want access to those skins. Either the prices would inflate drastically, or they would just completely sell out on the TP.
