I'll tell you this, maybe you don't have any good use for it, but I do. I've been needing a good Fel Troll Beserker skin for ages now, this is the first one i've been able to locate.
Yes it does, as long as it actually applies something good. If you've been here for over a month, look at a lot of skins, and still make crap, then first skin has no backup. If you just registered, are eager, ask a couple good questions in the skins forums, and turn out something average, causing someone to flame you, then you have justification of "first skin." Also, the "I'm only 12/13..." excuse also offers no backup
