Sometimes I get really weird glitches on my weapons. It happens at random, in dungeons or on map while doing events.. I have noticed it several times but did not take any screenshots until now. (noticed it twice in AC dungeon and once in Silverwastes, mainly because I stood still so I paid more attention to my surroundings..)
It looks as if game was showing how weapons should be oriented while being wielded or so.
This is how it looks while wielding staff: (it looks like a rope sticking out of the top, since the staff is long):

When changing weapon to scepter, it still stayed present, but sticks out more because scepter is smaller:

When I put the weapon away, the line/rope stays in my hand.

I have not noticed when it showed up or when it disappeared, since I usually wield staff and therefore it is not that noticeable.
