How were those (non-preview) screenshots obtained since the weapon can't currently be acquired?[edit]

Certain wiki people have access to accounts which cannot trade with others but have all wardrobe items unlocked (think of it as a separate server like China vs NA).
Eventually anet will fix it and we'll be able to make them as they intended. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 23:01, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
I see. Can these certain people update the screenshots of all bows on the wiki then?
Since previews never show the bowstring, and there are certain difficult to get ones (such as https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Largos%27_Greatbow especially for non-raiders) that haven't had a proper screenshot posted since it was released months ago.
It's also strange that they posted screenshots for this heroic dragonsblood focus, but not for the bows of this set. --27.104.205.45 21:13, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

(Reset indent) The only thing strange here are your manners. Do you actually realise how much time and work goes into preparing and uploading images for the wiki? We all have other obligations besides working pro bono on a game's wiki, and we clearly have more important things to do in life than pleasing an entitled playerbase.
Concerning your comment: two-handed weapons in particular need even more preparation since I need to put my monitor into a vertical position, which is really uncomfortable for me physically over a longer period of time and is a pain to set up, hence why you see one-handed weapons and other equipment update faster. Aside from this, you're requesting us to replace around 200 images on the wiki (and just longbows on top), images that are to 80% sufficient. I just spent three hours on taking screenshots and cropping them — and ended up with roughly 70 images alone. Among them your so dearly missed Largos' Greatbow. I suggest instead of complaining, you spent more time thinking about how much work is put into this wiki and learn to appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Taking a good screenshot (let's face it, all of the images that have been uploaded are of a very high quality) takes some time. They'll get round to it I'm sure.
The bowstring problem is one i'm aware of - last time i looked there were some bows which show/don't-show their bowstrings depending on locations. :/ Agreed some of them need replacing. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 23:05, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Chasing Tales: Torrent of Magic still gives the one for Storm's Eye --Life Infusion «T» 03:00, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

It's been fixed on the patch dated January 24,2019. I was able to complete this with the item from Hilina --Life Infusion «T» 03:26, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
