I saw this one skin where someguy just deleted all the main colors so that the gun just turned into a maximum gloss colorless paint. -ART-

A WEAPON TO SURPASS METAL GEAR

Whaddya mean by "Trying so hard"? I understand gold skins but I don't get what you mean by that.

But yes I agree with the fact the amount of gold skins on the workshop is pretty lazy on the part of the people who publish them. If you're gonna make a gold, swag skin the weapon should be gilded and engraved and stuff, not made out of solid gold.

Removing them, though, is something I don't think is necessary. For one Overkill shouldn't place themselves as arbiters of what skins are "Good enough" to be on the workshop, that just kinda seems like a slippery slope-type situation. The community as a whole is upvoting skins with actual effort put into them, at least from what I see.

You should call that skin gamma radiation

Then tell Killing Floor 2's tripwire to stop making their rarest skins (precious rarity) all gold...

They are popular and sell for nice amounts, i dont blame people for liking them if they look decent.

Moved to Workshop also Gold is fine... if they do it right. Ill find a fair example.

Found one for you c:

Eh, seems allot of the skins people make are just material changes, most you can make in good mod. So yea...

There are more problems besides people making a few gold guns each. What about the people who basically upload the same skin over and over up to the point of taking up 33% of the workshop's first page as seen here? http://i.imgur.com/AqDZCaP.png

Please. Stop either stop trying so hard, or stop making gold skins. I hate seeing them because they're all the bloody same. One would think that people might have some creativity instead of "DUH, IMMA MAKE IT GOLDY! HEEEE I'LL GET IN THE GAME WITH THAT AND THE OTHER 90,000 GOLD GUNS".

Also please stop making things so difficult to look at...my God. Is there anybody who agrees with me that Overkill should sweep through some of the gold skins and just get rid of them?

So I noticed you have 0 skin submissions, its easy to be a critic, try leading by example and show them all how its done?

Yeah, no I didnt think so.

You don't need to be a skin maker in order to realize that the flood of golden guns we have are clearly low effort low creativity jobs and that people should try to be more original with their stuff instead of going for the obvious stuff like:

1) Golden guns.
2) Asiimov wannabes.
3) Anything with hexagons to make it look stylish or futuristic.
4) Use the same camo for 10 different guns.
5) One color retextures where they don't even bother tweaking the silencers and other mods.
6) Skins with the default OVK templates.

Thanks for describing all of my terrible skins.
And I admit that my skins are ♥♥♥♥ tier

Thats where us, the reviewers, can presort the trash for when the mods and overkill make their picks. Therefore i vote as much as i can.

I appreciate all your replies, and I'm glad I'm not the only one with the same feelings. I just got tired of seeing "CHROME-TASTIC" or "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GOLD SKIN YEAH I'M ORIGINAL".

I'm sorry if I quoted that wrong, never really had to use it before. What I mean is skins that have so many colors and it looks like an eyesore. For example, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=735234740

I know that there are good skins which balance colours and tones well, but things like this are just hard to look at for me.

I voted that one, because it's not fully solid gold or whatnot. Gold can be nice, but when it oversaturates the workshop, I just click "no" each time because I'm tired of seeing the gold.

Imo overkill may do a (unique) golden safe and keep the others for community safes (I don't like gold skins too)
