As everyone knows gw2 is based on the horizontal progression, and many complain of skins (finding them ugly) and drops of itens, thinking about it, I found a cool solution. Where is created various weapons and armor by community, being voted on by itself, being the coolest enter the game, are in black lion for some days and a percentage of the profit for those who is created. After this time, that set(weapon) is placed in fractal and this itens is droped in one specific boss.

Example 1: One ppl created set with elements of ice, this set dropped in last boss of this dungeon in fractal. The chance to drop will be rare, only for each "5 (random number)" kill the boss would drop a piece of the set.

Like steam workshop. Its a great way to make money, and a good way to make ppls happy.
Examples of couriers made in steam workshop from dota 2.

These two courier has the participation of a Brazilian and Brazilians make some items WorkShop and live it, a margin of 25% of all profits of this item goes to the author or authors of that item. Ie if an item is sold, 100% of the profit of this item, 25% goes to the creator. If 10 or 100 items are sold by the same author, 25% of all profit goes to the creator.
 
The more people buy, the more profit the creator.
 
Today, the DOTA 2 broke his own previous record that had overtaken the game with more players online than wakittenherto Skyrim today peaked at 330k of players in the Client Online + 70k + 30k twicht the NeoTV, not to say that the DOTA 2 BETA is still closed in China and South Korea, the tendency is to increase the number of players ever. So far in the middle of the month, 3,200,000 unique players played DOTA 2. Anyway, the more players, the greater the number of sales of the item, the more profit the creator, has people living in it, and now with the number of players is increasing even more the more money you earn the creator ...

Example, the courier did T_Vidotto Bamboo, Bamboo costs 25 reais, 50,000 players bought this courier, assuming that the profit of each courier’s the value of the courier in case 25 real, 25% of that goes to the actual 25 T_Vidotto, as T_Vidotto profited at all? Well it is more or less around ... To improve the actual T_Vidotto has Ward’s, set’s for certain heroes, courier and have been approved and are in the game, imagine how much he earns per item sold, the profit generated by summing all items ...

Well, in Dota you can create your own Weapons and Skins and Stuff and upload them via the Steam Workshop, so other players can download them and use them on their Heroes. And he suggests to make something similar in gw2, to provide players new custom skins, made by the community.
But using other peoples creations to make money themselves wouldn’t be so good, so they should be free for everyone.

Nooo, in steam workshop itens are sent there, after it, taking a vote is performed, if this iten have a a large community approval, it is introduced in the game, in store, a percentage of profit go to the creator. Have ppls living with creation of itens.

A few thoughts.

A) Rename your title to “ArenaNet Workshop”
B) Structure your post with bullet points and examples.
C) Write it in your native language then translate it with http://translate.google.com ; afterwards edit your first post and it should be more readable.
D) Many games are moving to this feature and it produces a large revenue for those companies because there are many creative minds in the world.
E) Great post otherwise.

This is a good idea. I have seen how it works in games like DotA, so it seems to be something that can gain traction and become a success. And in any case more skins for folks to further customize characters is never a bad thing.

this is one of the few suggestion i have found really interesting and for cause:
having this kind of option will help the game by increasing the dynamic of the community, picking the interest of professional and amateur modelers and of course adding new in game content accessible via craft, dungeons, even mystic forge,gem store and even jumping puzzles. The best thing about it is that Anet would have a complete control on the items being added to the game and really get a lot of diverse and unique skins.

the main problems is like stated but some developers making armors skins is a really time consuming process cause you need to make male and female models then race specifics variations. So i really see this starting with weapons , backpack maybe even hats and gloves then with the process growing adding the possibility (when the modelling community is established enough)to create new armor sets.
well but for such a design to be implemented in gw2 we would need devs to really get involved with the community and the release of these tools.
