Sir Vincent III.1286 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Why can't I purchase this alone? I want to purchase half of the skins but I am only select one per 2000 gems...Why?I don't want multiple of the other stuff that comes with the Package. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizel.1839 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Sadly it's intended, it's Anet's evil way to tell you: "You want only the weapon? Can't be helped, either you buy the full package or nothing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoboy.4162 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I think there's a good chance they'll show up as part of the Black Lion Statutette inventory. That happened with the Immortal Weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vincent III.1286 Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Yeah well, I'm in a buying mood and this is a disappointment.I would pay 800 gems a skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d get better value unlocking as many other weapon skins as you can, then using the guaranteed weapon unlocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coelho Nat.4697 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I do agree.We should have the option of buying apart the mythic weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought you might want to know there would probably be a secondary way later (even if it's not really a good way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldmail.9672 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 We can't even buy the packages they are in in Belgium. Please make them available somehow to Belgium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini.4806 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Yeah, I don't quite understand the rationale behind locking these weapon skins behind packages that aren't discounted for shit you already own. I'd probably have bought several were they available separately, but there's no way I'm buying a package that contains 4 things I already own and can't gift to other people.

SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 They're not even that much better looking than the Illuminated Boreal weapons.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaoda.1653 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 TBH when I saw the mythic staff on a player in WvW, I thought it was a new legendary weapon skin or something. Pretty sad when some gemstore skins are better looking than some legendary weapons, but it's all intentional I guess. I don't think you should be forced to buy a set just for a weapon though. That's stupid and unnecessary. I don't like most of the outfits that come with these sets, so I won't be buying it. I only want to buy things I can see myself using in the future.

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 It is strange they put such items behind cosmetic sets that don't even fit thematically.Putting stuff like the Immortal and Mythic weapons behind say a key or slot bundle makes more sense.

Timmychem.9743 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I agree with them wanting (and needing) money, but making the skins only available as part of a pack of 4 items is ridiculous. Just sell a Mythic Weapon skin box for 800 gems and I'd be tempted to buy the whole set. They are gorgeous! Or, do what you've always done - lock them behind Black Lion tickets like the other collections, which has the same effect (people buy gems to buy keys to get Black Lion Tickets and scraps. I have no problem monetizing such gorgeous skins, but the way in which you have done it is likely going to net you LESS money than if we could obtain the skins as we do most others...

Theyll eventually get added to the statuette vendor and potentially the wardrobe unlock items further on in the future(The lion weapons havent been added yet, but the immortal weapons are.)

How else do you think they keep the game running?Buy 15 bucks worth of gems every month and you realize how much you can actually buy with what a normal sub would get you.

Brian.6435 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I honestly don't know why they don't do a premium account thing that gives you gems etc for 15 bucks a month. Literally every other successful MMO has this.But I really just wanted to stop by to say... BRING.BACK.THE. MYTHIC. WEAPONS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanBB.4268 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 There is a Mythic Weapon in the 8th Anniversary Supply Drop Requisition. Yes, still a bundle, but perhaps of more interest. I only have the daggers so far, and think the skins are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is most likely the reason.Well, there really isn't a pay to win advantage, but the extra benefit to voluntarily paying $15/month is getting gems that those who don't pay wouldn't get. Those gems would allow the player to purchase things in the gem store that players who don't pay per month wouldn't be able to purchase. Since the suggestion was a "premium account thing that gives you gems etc" I feel that was the benefit that was being requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
