Greetings everyone.

First of all: I am not sure, if this topic came up already in the past (it would actually surprise me if not), however I used the forum’s search and didn’t find an appropriate thread.

So what is it about? Most of you will know that prior to the introduction of the wardrobe, one could use and get a different set of armor/weapons in/from sPvP. Since the wardrobe-system made this functionality obsolete, it was removed.

It was replaced of course by the PvP Reward Tracks, which still allow to get skins (and even other stuff) from PvP.

However, there are skins which were only accessable as PvP-Reward or by using the PvP-Mystic Forge (like for instance the tribal armor set) and which are not covered by the reward tracks.

I really like the new system and think it is a great improvement to the old one. However I think it is a bit sad that these old skins are now unaccessable to new players or players who didn’t manage to unlock them prior to the update. You can still find them in the wardrobe-tab of your bank.

So here is my question: Will they find their way back into the game? I mean, this is content that is already there but only unaccessable. The simplest – but also cheesiest – way would be to just plop a vendor for these forgoten skins. Another way might be to make them accessable through following the LS. It would also be thinkable to add them to an new or existing reward track in sPvP.

What do you think? Would this be something you’d like to see?

Yep, it has been brought up, a dev/mod has replied to one of the threads regarding the missing skins, nothing has been said on whether or not they’ll be brought back.

not sure if its been posted before? really?
we usually get 2 PVEers posting the same “i want past pvp rewards” thread each day!

meanwhile us pvpers are fine with PVEers having their “i was here for this” rewards like Wings of the Sunless, Air-Filtration Device etc.

i’m glad there are still (very few) past items that haven’t been recycled, they’re usually a highlight in MMOs for me but Anet tend to barf them back in to circulation and make them stupidly easy to obtain…
cough LS S1 laurel vendor. cough

As I stated, I used the forum’s search, and by the use of several related terms not one thread regarding this topic would pop up. If there are other threads about that, I’d be happy being pointed to them.

I’m not saying that they should be easy to obtain. Personally I would also be fine if they would stay skins which can only be obtained by PvP. My point is however that they are completly unaccessable right now and not just very difficult to obtain.

granted the forum search is useless and people have been distracted by halloween so they’ve not posted about it for awhile.

anet seem to merge them into this thread, the last thread was made just over a week ago
