You do know each texture is handmade and takes probably a hundred hours or more to make. Minimal Effort my ass. You make some better ones and let us know how you feel afterward.

Texturing doesn't take hundreds of hours.. As someone with a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Art with a major in Video Game Art, I've taken plenty of 3D modeling classes, and have textured plenty of creations.. doesn't take hundreds of hours. These robe models and the reskinned textures, are pure laziness. It's all a time crunch for them, and they do reskins to get "new" armor out there instead of taking their time and giving us quality gear.

Yeah you actually don't know what you're talking about. Several people here do graphic design though and do. Each pixel isn't hand painted. Do you think they are using ms paint? These aren't even reskins. Most are quite literally shaders.

As someone who works in photoshop all the time if i start with already existing assests (reskinned) it takes a fraction of the time to create. Bungie is just lazy, pure and simple. They used to do it right in d1. Now they are lazy activision cash grabbers.

I work with photoshop as well. Buts it’s still not just a reason when each and every shader has to be reworked and retextured. Seeing as how each shader has different textures like carbon fiber and leather. Still takes longer than you seem to think it does.
