- Once this new artwork is completed, we will then update the Flamekissed Armor Skin so that all existing sets that players have purchased get the new art. We will also offer the Flamekissed Armor Skin for sale again at that time.

Meh… Finally there is an armor making it worthwhile creating a Sylvari caster and now it will be taken away again…
I strongly disagree with that course of action really.
I understand people got mad because of the recycling of a formerly human-exclusive racial armor skin (since people nowadays get mad about everything anyways…), and kudos to ANet for taking complains seriously and acting upon the feedback, but for the likes of me who created a character concept based on that very armor skin it is rather discouraging, since I might end up with a character I don’t want to play anymore… The time and money invested in that character will not be reimbursed after all….
I’d rather like to see the armor that has been sold already to stay in game as it is – Since it’s account bound anyways it’s not like you could sell it for an fortune in gold as a super rare armor or anything ~.~
Create a new armor for the store, but please do not just “replace” the skins that are in-game already!

- When we update the Flamekissed Armor Skins with the new artwork, any player that has already purchased the set and who does not like the new, updated look, can get a full refund by contacting Customer Support.

Hope you refund any used transmutation stones, gems for the additional character slot and time I spent to level up a character that was basically based on that skin as well? Not to mention all the gold gold I spent on dyes and items for that character?
If you really follow that course of action I REALLY hope the new skin you design as a replacement will be VERY CLOSE to the look of the current armor set… Otherwise this really would be the very first reason since game launch to take an extended break from the game -sigh-
Actually I’d go for a different approach: Let the bonus stay, but make it dependent on the total PPT of a server in the current match.
The leading server can have Minor Borderlands Bloodlust only, no matter how many ruins it holds.
The mid-server can earn Major Borderlands Bloodlust max., while the losing server can claim Superior Borderlands Bloodlust.
This might even help balancing out things a tiny little bit in uneven matches and makes the fight for the ruins even more attractive to the underdogs in a given match.
In balanced matches it’d either mean a back and forth or – alternatively – there should be a buffer value to PPT-differences which rules what level of Borderland Bloodlust your server can claim at the moment, granting the server(s) with way fewer points the chance to earn the bigger buffs.
I second that suggestion.
It is rather annoying that you cannot edit the MotD to correct either typos, or content.
Further / alternatively an option to delete a MotD would be really helpful e.g. for dealing with inappropriate posting that will show up in the MotD history ad infinitum otherwise.
