I do not get why people think that they must have FoW armor, Spider Pet, 15^50 Req 8 Crystalline in order to play this game.

The people who have FoW have earned it. You should too. Don't expect plat to be raining down in your face without you doing anything. Earn it.

I spend 6 months in profecies campaing until i got my fow armor.
The only thing u need is patience and store all ur money.
I farmed UW with my Trapper ranger, SS necro & 55 monk, and is funny if u change ur style of play.
I farmed FOW with my warrior & SS necro and is fun too.
I farmed Greens in the Grenth's Footprint with 4 ppl groups and is very fun.
The point is, play for fun and store the gold for u goal.

....Can I complain about not having enough money to buy all the luxurious stuff, from Gucci, Prada, Channel, to D&G wears and what not, too?

Wow. People still care about FoW/15K?

You don't see people complaining how ferrarri's cost so much. It's like you're trying to say that fow should be easier to get. It's already ez to get if you know the game. I read one article in the farming forums to get rich. You can do the same and it has very useful builds.

People also buy their fow cuz they like the looks...well for me. It's not 100% showing off and bragging, because no one really gives a crap.

Farming nerfs haven't been significant enough to make getting fow armor a lot harder. I got my FoW AFTER the farming nerfs and it took me 2 weeks to get it.

FoW is not a must, but if you really do like the looks, then go ahead, otherwise buying it for bragging is worthless.

You have 1.5k armor which is AS GOOD as FOW armor.

I have never grinded for any of my sets of FOW armor and I dont ebay or scam. Its not my fault you dont know how to make gold other than farming for 10k an hour. Ill think of you when im next wearing my FOW armor which I bought from only a few hours trading

I dont cry that people got rich off the trader reset. FOW armor is for showing off.

Yes. Yes you can.

See, in real life I wana have a Bentley, nice house and have other luxurious things so how to do get them? Whine and hope they lower the price? Hell no. I go out and get a high paid job. Go find a way of making lots of gold in Guild Wars and quit whining as you are just embarrassing yourself.

There should be something for the hardcore PvE fans to grind at, since there are a considerable number of people who put in several hours a day into PvE. However, I think that the FoW armor is probably the number one reason why farmbots and ebay gold exists. If you look on ebay, there is an auction for a FoW set (120 ecto and shards) getting sold every day for about $100. If ANet wants to provide a long term goal, they should make it so it is not transferable (i.e. someone gives it to you for real life money). Most of the people who have FoW either got it from farming early, back when it was possible to earn 60k-100k per hour or from trader resets, where they got thousands of ecto for only 100 gold each, or from ebay.

to OP: just give it some time, a-net will sell FOW armors sooner or later.
Even they now saying they are not going to sell FOW armor. they will make new justificative statements about selling FOW armors when its in GW store.

EPO Bot · Sep 02, 2006, 06:59 PM // 18:59

I don't need Fow armour for my monk because her bottom looks much nicer in Grotto pants

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 02, 2006, 07:27 PM // 19:27

I'd say it's overkill that the op made pretty much identical threads in Riverside and Sardelic......

imagine being so negative and bitter about a game and not being long gone.

VitisVinifera · Sep 02, 2006, 07:35 PM // 19:35

this thread made me lol. There's another name for easy-to-get fow armor: 15k armor.

if you can't hack it, then don't complain.

<--fissure necro scars, and I earned every ecto and shard.

OP:
You are on of those cry-babyies?

FoW armor was ment to be hard to get/high cost armor with NO advantages over other armors. The only advantage of FoW armor is that prophecies only chars can get + hp sets(and other Faction only sets). This is the only know advantage for FoW armor, but to whine about +35 hp :S.
I am getting my FoW aror because is looks nice, I have created a male ranger and after I caped major elites and got most of the skills, I discovert that none of the ranger 15k male doesnt looks realy nice to me, the only nice thing was FoW. So I am in the middle of getting it, I farm UW/FoW - solo or PuG, and I sell the drops to merchant + golds to other ppl and I end up with ecto/shards + gold, so I buy ecto/shards off ppl with this gold whih I got while farming for ecto. Its realy easy, Getting 5 shards per day is no big deal. 5 e/s per day and you have your fow armor in 3 weeks. Along the way the drops have to cover the materials. Its realy not hard.
When you come home from school, eat-homework-study-go out/GW until bed time. Realy so hard thing to do?

Why should we further encourage people to buy plat online? Im not saying it should be easy but I didnt think this game was about grinding. Your thoughts anyone?

Honestly, I don't know what you're bitching about. I work two jobs, AND go to college, yet I still find time to get what I need for FoW armor. It's the rarest armor in the game and is supposed to be difficult to get. What would be the point if you could play for a week and have everything you need for it?

Maybe you need to work on your method of making money? For example: STOP FARMING. Farming is the poor man's way. Watch auctions and sales, learn the prices of things, and make your money trading. There's a lot to be made doing it.

Malice Black · Sep 02, 2006, 08:07 PM // 20:07

i think FoW armor is too easy to obtain..making 1.5mill isnt all that hard if you work hard and do a little thinking

i only bought male necro fissure because ppl kept telling me to buy it..i much prefered my black 15k bonelace

Dirty Panda · Sep 02, 2006, 08:44 PM // 20:44

here is what i read:
i want to get credit for finishing the race but i only want to run half way, can you plese move the finish line to the half way mark?

makosi · Sep 02, 2006, 08:54 PM // 20:54

Why do people hate grind? Grind is great fun!

Its been said loads before but Droks Armour = FoW armour. The only difference being the appearance, and aesthetics do not give players any advantages under any circumstances.

Keep in mind that FoW armour is probably the biggest gold-sink in GW which keeps the economy stable and wealth marigns [failry] even.

JGaff · Sep 02, 2006, 09:58 PM // 21:58

Or if 1000k+ is too much, go halfway like I am on my Male Mesmer. For 60 shards and 60 ectos, I can grab the boots and chest and get the look I want for less. You may find that gloves and other parts of the armor aren't exactly needed and the difference is negligible. Other than that, the complaint department is *CLOSED*

Luckily, there is a solution! 15k armor is also cool looking and many people respect it almost as much as FOW (at least I do). Why don't you set 15k as your new goal?

My feamle warrior has 2 sets of 15k thts only cost me 170k roughly yeh it took me a while to get it but it was well worth it i prefer 15k to the FoW warr armour. the warr armour seems a load of black rubbish covering your warr frm head to toe. I see people with FoW armour and think "What a NERD!" ive consulted my friends about my opinion and they agree. Whats your opinion on people with FoW armour NERD? or UBER!
