Somebody's been playing a lot of God of War...  

A kusarigama has more interesting possibilities, I think, and is a more practical weapon. It can be used to snare, pull, leap, knock down, bleed, even poison or stun. The only problem is, would it be one-handed or two? it could be both (perhaps depending on profession)! Precedents are already set with Binding Blade and Impale; it could be taken a step further.

Just giving up on making Extended Experience, hm? Shame, I was looking forward to seeing ANet's vision of it.

Still, I suppose it's better to crowd source these things. Someone's bound to make a good app or page eventually; at no extra development cost.

You are welcome to try and pass it off as true, but I don't see a mass exodus or an uprising of angry customers. I see a small group of pessimists being very vocal. So as much fluff you accuse Colin, I can say the same thing about your ranting.

It's amusing to see you care about a developer's time, yet you're quick to label them as incompetent. You can't have it both ways.

You're completely ignoring the very fact that MMOs are never finished, they are always in a state of development. You're accusing ArenaNet of actually doing their jobs. Developing the game!

People bitching about a developer talking about the future of the game in a post about the future of the game.

Makes perfect sense.

The problem is quite the opposite, imagine female Norn in male armor... which is oftentimes MORE revealing than the female, some being completely bare-chested. As fun as that could be, that's not a place this game should be going.

I don't know if it would be considered "mesmery" enough, but I've been enjoying the Lionguard Sword skin. It's an unusual (some might say "boring") choice, to be sure, but I like it because the model is significantly shorter than most Swords without sacrificing range. It fits perfectly with the idea that the Mesmer doesn't actually cut with the blade, but with magic. I don't recommend the Greatsword version though, I used it for awhile and the form of it is ok, but it just didn't feel right... too stumpy.

If you want to try something a little "out there", try the Pirate Slayer. It has an interesting spin during Spacial Surge, and can fit nicely with the acting/"illusion of weakness" motif (as a rusty, otherwise unusable blade).

Both are fairly easy to get, available right there in LA, and cost a not insignificant but easily obtainable amount of Karma. Of course, to get Pirate Slayer you have to jump through Weyandt's Revenge, but that's not too difficult.
