They may not directly, but Unlockers come from BLCs and gems to gold also exists. Also I doubt that anet wants to make gem-shop items always available, they use FOMO in the shop since all the years, so I guess they would have already changed it, if their analysts thought another tactic would be better for their sales. The shield also is still available, just very rare. So if we exclude the gem-shop, cheaper skins and all the items that are still available, it would be what, an unlocker for a total of about four weapon- / armor-skins (scarlet's kiss and the three shoulder skins). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what I asked. I asked how a skin that's only expensive because it can't be crafted anymore generates income. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering deathly mantle can be "RNGed" from armor/wardrobe unlocks... probably the same way random drops from blchests make them money. And if you mean "ghastly" shield then it's also connected to blchest rng. They probably should be included for bl tickets like the rest of time limited bltc drops, but that's not what you asked so I'm sticking to "how it could possibly make money" question. 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "wardrobe unlock selection" that costs 150 bl statuettes would be a good compromise since we are talking about a single skin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't recall you ever saying that and frankly, I probably wouldn't care either way because that's not how public forums work. You asked some question, I responded, you're free to dislike the answers that don't fit your wishes all you want. But that's about it. Considering deathly mantle can be "RNGed" from armor/wardrobe unlocks... probably the same way random drops from blchests make them money. And if you mean "ghastly" shield then it's also connected to blchest rng. So that's how they potentially make money. Whether or not they actually do, we don't know.

I will tell you again then since you forgot. You literally blocked me in game although we never interacted in game and you pretend you forgot that I dont want to interact with you? Really? You also got so pissed that reacted to all my replies in this conversation. Also literally no one plays rng lottery with the guaranteed wardrobe unlock because of the huge number of skins. It is delusional to think skins that only exist because some players still have a few unused copies makes Anet money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only you don't have access to that information so you're mostly guessing here, but I also know at least a few players who are stocking up on wardrobe unlocks in order to use them once they unlock majority of the not-so-valuable skins. Me blocking you ingame without ever interacting (which is the part that's actually true) in no way points at anything you claimed before. As for the rest of your post: false, but I'll refrain from derailing it further than you're already doing it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just randomly looked into this thread, but uh... This is a public forum, that's not how it works. You are free to ignore other users though, there's even a setting for it. For the rest of the things, you can get these skins out of RNG already. I am one of those that always make sure I have any cheaper skins before I even open any wardrobe unlocks coming my way.

What wardrobes pieces specifically. I need examples to know if what you want already exists in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
