Guild Wars 2

Transmuted Loot gear:

• Whenever a mob drops a gear loot, that loot is automatically transmuted to a random skin that is unlocked in the wardrobe.

It will follow the same rules as a transmuted skins does. Meaning, they can’t sell a masterwork tier Zap into the trading post. There would be an option where players can choose to toggle it on and off. This is so that they can sell gear directly to the trading post.

Exotics and rares will never be transmuted. The reasons:

• Players won’t accidentally get a transmuted Precursor.
• Players would want to sell rares and exotics in the TP.
• ANet can profit off of T-Charges.

Why:

• Because loot is boring. I don’t want to look the same from level 1 to 79.
• I don’t think many others will spend 790 T-charges to make their armor not look ugly. I don’t think PvPers have the patience to farm that many.
• Collecting skins will be actually rewarding. This is fashion wars.
• More replayablity: Creating an Alt account will have a better experience to customers.

Is this a feature worth it?

I say yes. The other direction is to add more lootable gear to make loot exciting, but I think this is the cheaper direction. This is not an endgame or level 80 feature. This is meant for level 79 and under.
