Actually went through every single sword skin available on wiki. Thats why I was asking does anybody heard plans about adding some normal good looking weapon skins
Majority of them are oversized, but those who might be ok by size either are ugly as hell or have oversized hilt which makes it still look oversized and silly (and mostly ugly too).
So I will have to go with this
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/f/fe/Bonetti's_Rapier.jpg
It looks more or less good and although its called rapier its actually oversized even in comparison with Quarctastic’s picture (in which imho rapier too is oversized, but ok I am not an expert on subject) and looks more like sword.

.. I love the landscape and enemy design, but some of the armor and a lot of the weapon skins look cartoony and unrealistic to me…
Exactly my opinion – I love game but those weapon skins… oh god… they are guly
Please be clear your suggestion is for HUMANS.
Most Asura users I know (including me) want weapons to be BIGGER,…
That made me smile
I forgot that we have some folks who standing is a little bit taller than my boot :P
But as intelligent asura you must understand that asuras too are subjects for laws of physics and you would not be able swing effectively something that is probably as heavy as half of you, and even if you will invent some exoskeleton who will be able swing that sword for you then attempts to stop that swing would end bad as you would be able to stop swords movement only relatively to you… but not your combined system (you + sword) relatively planet – that is any swing would end with spectacular speedy flight in direction of swing Of course that would open new fighting tehnicues for asuras as if about 50 kg (asura+armor+ridiculously oversized sword) land in any opponent at high speed that would end in instant termination of his physical existence. But there is also high risk as missing to hit opponent would risk to land into some solid object, for instance rock, that in turn would result in asuras transformation into some less corporeal form, although in that form it probably would be more easy investigate eternal alchemy that you asuras so much like :P
What about the highlander GS? That looks decent on my human guardian.
You mean Aureate Highlander Greatsword ?
It looks somewhat ok but… but… I would like to see how in gods name you could swing it without asura invented exoskeleton (as far as I can tell its taller than human and quite thick)
His picture is perfectly accurate, historical rapiers tended to be between 39 and 45 inches in length and sometimes exceeded that…
Ok, as I said I am not an expert so perhaps it really is that way , but still imho fact is that there is only two 1h swords that look acceptable
Lord Faren’s Rapier
Bonetti’s Rapier
and… zero 2h swords
btw… I would say that name “OrbitalBrain” or at least “OrbitalHead” would be way waayy better :P
Dear developers could you add some realistic and good looking weapon skins?
Pleeaseeeeeee

If you are looking for a two handed sword, that looks close to a version one could actually use, I recommend you search for the “Cobalt” (with fancy blue flames) or the “Ebonblade” skin.

If you do not like the “16th century” look of the rapiers mentioned before, take a look at two gladius type skins GW2 has. Firebringer has red flames, Honor has no effect.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Firebringer
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Honor_of_Humanity
All the rest of single handed swords that look kind of real have already been mentioned (they are the basic cross hilted crafting types). Their cold be one or two acceptable curved swords, perhaps it is best to search the wardrobe.
PS: Since you want realism, what kind of silly and impractical heavy armour skin do you wear?

Actually i am new to game and bought it just recently and did not got to armor looks for now. I had not even reached lvl 80 yet
So of course I will be grateful if people has some good looking (and realistic) armor skins to share as eventually I will get to armors too
