Yet another unattainable PVE skin and It’s not the first time that happens. I know some skins are exclusive to PVE but why does PVP always get the short end of the stick? Pretty much every often, PVE get some skins that we cannot have on PVP but the other hand never happens.

Yeah I know, Anet intends to merge both worlds so everybody can wear their favorite armors anywhere. But what about the skins that came before that announcement? Skins that will never come back and only had them avaiable in PVE?

Hey, I’ve asked the rewards team about this. The designer who worked on it is currently AFK, so I’ll let you know what the deal is when I find out.

Ok guys, here’s the dealio.

The designers wanted to give it a stat chooser, which meant that it couldn’t be used in PvP like a skin item can. They are looking into another way to allow you to use it in PvP, so hold on to it for that. Unfortunately, it won’t be coming very soon (sorry, I can’t give the date on it).

I’ll just put it this way, if it’s something you really like, it won’t hurt to work on getting it. Hope that helps!

We aren’t second-class citizens. I know it kind of seems that way right now, but big things are coming that we just can’t talk about. We’re still cranking, trust me!

He’s lurking.

I’m not trying to be insulting, so I hope you guys didn’t take it that way. It’s just as frustrating for me that I can’t talk about this stuff. I just figured you’d want to know that we haven’t given up, but I understand the frustration.

Since nothing really constructive is coming from this post anymore, I’m going to lock it.

Wish I could say more but I just can’t.
