Just wanting to chime in with a thought, it may not be a simple setting but the ability to balance things out will be there from the get go. Guilds could deploy strike teams to their respective borderlands to keep their own BL buff to themselves, therefore all teams will have +50, noone has +150, things remain balanced.

Call it a convoluted and bad solution if you will, but if you ask me the meta PvP between the teams trying to support the GvG and any WvW players trying to ruin their fun will add to the show. Say what you will about how you shouldn’t have to do that to have your fun, but that’s what you get when you try to bootstrap honorable, organised battles into a game mode that is by its very nature and intent chaotic and unpredictable.

This is a battle you folks are probably better off fighting with the virtual sword in game than the virtual pen in the forums. At the very least, you’ll save yourselves a lot of time and effort till Anet actually gets around to implementing a game mode for you guys to do this in officially.

tl;dr: Can’t win what you want with reason? Take it by force.

Some kind of official stance is all I was looking for when I searched for this issue, alas I found none. I do get if its just not reasonable for every skin, however the more special ones, legendary in particular deserve some love. It’s not like we engineers have many weapons to choose from in our equipment slots, and on top of that have this issue with the most visually satisfying of the three.

Not trying to act entitled or anything, an honest it probably won’t get changed any time soon/ever is just as good a word from the devs here.

Wow this issue with a LEGENDARY and it never got a response?

I just got my king toad shield for my engineer, and while it looks absolutely amazing I’m a bit gutted that not only am I tossing a sucky wooden thing with my shield throw, but the shield remains on my arm in all it’s glory when it should be crashing through something’s face. This is my first nice shield skin so I never really took notice before.

Considering even the legendary does this, doesn’t give me much hope it’ll be changed
