Cool art like this makes me sad that PoE's financial model is what it is.
Badass looking stuff like this should be reserved for badass items, not something you can slap on a rusted sword :(

I agree 100%. This is why I'm saying I'd much rather see in-game assets worked on than these. BUT I get that these were primarily for Garena, and that the target market there are likely much more accustomed to OOT designs like this.

Nothing here really appeals to me, whereas I'll be all sorts of overjoyed once the Copper Sword and Varicite Blades look different, as with Jagged and Serrated Foils. Variety within the intended aesthetic of Wraeclast is far superior to mtxes.

And that still makes GGG some money, thanks to the inestimably valuable skin transfer mtx.

BUT that still undermines your initial intention, doesn't it? Since you can slap, say, a Goddess Scorned skin on a rusted sword.
