ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Template Weapons

Template Weapons
Basically allows you to take specific materials to a weaponsmith and make numerous skins for swords or axes or whatever. You could have collectible blueprints from quests or boss drops that would give you access to new skins, or each smith could have a set number of skins for each weapon. Instead of adding weapon mods to your weapon after you make it, you could take it to the weaponsmith and he would put them into your new weapon for you, so instead of buying a max damage no mods spear, you could buy a max damage Icy Spear of Enchanting or whatever you like. You still wouldn't be able to make say a tormented shield form a smith in the starting town though.


 * Why this is a good idea
 * There wouldn't be as much farming for weapon skins.
 * Easier to get good weapons
 * Weapon is a little more personalized.


 * Why it may not work out
 * Lowers the value on popular skins (if they are makeable at a smith)
