Guild Wars 2

Hm seems youre right, my mind didnt even touched the idea that it is possible to buy other culture weapons. Not a good decision in my opinion, but that is another topic then.

Always something to learn…

Hello,

I play fotm regulary and since my main character is a Norn I have noticed one very weird thing.
Sometimes you get those account-bound exotic weapons dropped, they are just called “Staff” or “Longbow”, the point is that their skin equals exactly the skin of the norn culture T3 weapons.
I see OTHER races running around with OUR culture weapon skins now!

This is a bad design idea, and it just takes all the exclusiveness from the Norn weapon culture away. I really hope this is getting changed in the future. If not I’d like to know what the intention is behind this?

Two examples (fractal drop equals norn t3 culture):

http://www.gw2db.com/items/71595-longbow equals http://www.gw2db.com/items/55291-wolfborn-longbow

(First I thought those weapons always equal their owners T3 race cultural, but then after seeing others with Norn weapons and getting confirmed by friends… also this may be the original intention behind it.)

I hope to get an response on this.
Thanks.
