Your thoughts on the Nightsteel weapons?

They're just weapons, I did them a long time ago... they also dye horribly, they have this gaudy copper/bronze metal to them that doesn't dye or go well with pretty much anything.

Pretty much this

Does anyone know if they did it because people actually wanted something like this or did they basically just run out of ideas lol?

I honestly don't know at this point. Despite claims of being given a larger budget than ever, this expansion has been one reused model after rehashed idea after new-but-wholely-uninspiring model after another. Honestly (bearing in mind that I only really play WHM, so I'm only considering healer gear in this), the only new items I can really see myself saving to use again and again in future are the Shisui set and the new 'Republican' PvP set? Even then, neither set is really suited to everyday use.

And now that I've seen the models for the Fashion Report gear I'm really starting to wonder if their gear designer just up and quit or keeled over from the stress of putting together the expansion or something, since even the female version is pretty uninspiring, and the male version is a new all-time low in a field I was already pretty sure had hit rock bottom.


EDIT: I SHOULD say that I couldn't care less about exclusivity or some silly idea that these crafted models make my relic less 'special'. I'm even for reusing models in certain capacities, especially if those models dye differently. My worry stems from just how common reused models have been recently, rather than any especial concern about the principle of reusing them.
