    The new Weapon's Set introduced in this year's Dragon Bash DOES include a new Spear, so I have no doubt they will start including new ones too in upcoming sets.

    my advice for a spear skin.
    start collecting 250 mystic coins, 77 mystic clovers, 2 gifts of posion/bones/dusts/blood/claws/scales/fangs/totems, 350 mystic currio.
    that will give you a nice head start on the new legandary spear skin.
    or you should like the undead shark better, than craft that legandary now with 250 of each tier 6 mat
    i for one, am already glad i own the pre for the core theria legandary spear.
    cause that one will jump up in price, and it was cheap when i bought it, only 20 gold.

    If they need a ton of new spears for the expac and the past 10+ of black lion weapons don't have spears, maybe have unofficial black lion themed spears available in the open world, in a "fell off the back of a truck" kinda way. A fun shiny for most while letting completionist have fully matching weapons.

    I'm petty but I still feel like they're kind of starting to cross a line on my nerve now.
    I can understand professions and their extra abilities, mounts and such.
    But to technically introduce a new basic weapon to several classes the same way axes, pistols and short swords work. And lock it behind an expansion.
    And not just any expansion. But to any new player. They will get in, try all the weapons, see this ONE default weapon, fail to use it and see they are FIVE expansions from getting to use it.
    This is getting so raw even Runescape is giving a yellow card.
    Is it too much to throw just a little bone? Give veterans and some burnt out players something new to just give the game another round and play again and maybe encourage to buy the rest. Give some motivation to return. Give new players a whiff of the potential more content they could purchase.
    There's a term called Loss leader. meaning lowering a product below the market cost, to lure in customers and incentivize them to spend more on other products.
    Runescape does this by updating the game and giving the basic new stuff and some smaller new stuff for free and withholding the bigger stuff behind a membership.
    My biggest concern though is the long run. WoW eventually made so many expansions, each requiring the other; that they made the oldest one free and standard.
    Eventually GW2 is gonna reach a point where the only logical and reasonable choice for a consumer is to wait and gradually buy expansions that are on sale. Delaying the bigger purchase of new releases for a more sound pricing, as compared to the previous ones combined already equaling over 50 euro even on sale. So the only future options would either be to do the same as WoW. Or adopt the bait product strategy. Cause paying over 800 or even 950 euro is kind of ridiculous even with the base game being free.
    As at this point. It's almost becoming a demo for the actual game. They have an in game store already.
    It's feels more degrading and painful to play walking simulator literally looking like a rag dressed beggar in the middle of a speeding flying dragon and turtle traffic with more abilities on their mounts. Than it feels incentivizing to buy the expansions just to get a quality of life improvement.
    It feels like I encounter more paywall blocks to content than actual playable content even after I've purchased up to only the latest 2 expansions.
    And I was dumb enough to buy the game at launch full prize, twice! Just so my best friend could play it.

    I crafted one of every Legendary weapon type (plus 3 duplicates for dual wielding) over the past few years, so I have the Kamohoali'i Kotaki spear skin, but I wasn't too impressed with any of the spear skins you showed, so I hope Anet comes out with many new spear skins in the new expansion, and moving forward in the game.

  • @Rasokar

    Blacklion ticket weapon sets also excluded the spear until the most recent 2 sets. That plus all the staff skins in previous years that are clearly meant to be spears tells me they really didn't have spears finalized until VERY recently.

It is a limited amount. Eldritch scroll is cheap from Mystic Forge attendant. Will be hoarding ores and globs so should have that purple beauty before expansion drops.

    Please stop including terrible/ugly/boring weapons JUST because they are from GW1. It's so weird to me that you do that. One thing is that YOU like it, but it's such a weird and niche reason to like a weapon for that not many others than you will see the same "value" in it...... I don't know... This is a personal video with your opinion, I would just consider how relevant a specific opinion is to YOU compared to your viewer, especially when it comes to this.
