Guild Wars 2

Hello dear GW2 devs,

While this is not really a “bug”, it is something that’s been bothering me for a long time:

Some skins you buy automatically unlock upon acquisition (so you have them unlocked in your wardrobe and that extra copy in your inventory that you can use instead of a transmutation charge). Others, however, do not automatically unlock, and upon adding the skin to the wardrobe, the item gets consumed.

That discrepancy is confusing and somewhat irritating. So, could you make all Gem Store skins one way or the other, i.e. they all either unlock on acquisition or when you explicitly add them?

That would be great.

I think it’s fair to post this issue in the bug forums. I’m 99% sure that each individual item is intended to behave as it does; I’m also 99% sure that if someone at ANet thought about it for 5 minutes they’d agree that consistency would be better.
