Guild Wars 2

People asked for a way to go barefoot for a long time.
After long waiting anet answered: not with a hide boots option, much like gloves, shoulders and helms,
But with a drop so rare its TP value exceeds some legendary weapons.
I mean, what exactly did it look like on the drawing board compared to the final product, was this really their intention?
Flaunting, “see, we can, we won’t, but we want you to know we can.”

Apparently the story is that someone at Anet really wanted their character to be barefoot but the idea kept getting rejected. I don’t know why but the relevant people were opposed to adding a check box to hide your boots.

So one of their friends who makes items for the game made invisible boots and got them added to the game.

I can’t find information on the drop rate but my understanding is that the price is so high mostly because of high demand rather than limited supply. From what I’ve heard from people who farm treasure mushrooms invisible boot boxes are much more common than precursors – it’s just that a lot of people want it and are willing to pay a lot of money for it.

Soon people would want to run around like Lord Faren in jungle.

Why would you even want to be barefoot in dangerous situation, on ice, lava or near some thorny plants? Foot wounds are not fun.

And in town just take your boots off.

They don’t care, they did it as a sick joke; just like what they did with the Legendary Medium armor~ which was designed to deliberately troll everyone who hates coats… The person or people behind armor designs literally feed off peoples’ hatred for it like bitter, twisted sadist with no respect for anyone elses’ interests. The day their Armor Fashion position is replaced with someone who actually loves fun, diversity and player choices is the day GW2 finally becomes the #1 best MMO to everyone on the planet..
