You know, some people actually get FoW armor legitimitely. All you need is a few lucky drops
i.e:
15^50 Req.9 Fellblade

I got one of these and a few other nice drops that went for a few hundred platinum. Last week, I decided it was finally time to get FoW armor for my warrior. I went to RA for some random fun because none of my friends were on and Heroes Ascent only has IWAY mostly (for warriors anyways, unless you're a KD warrior).

Now the problem is, in RA, like everybody starts yelling
"EBAY NOOB ALERT" or "U NOOB EBAYER" when they see my FoW armor.

Why must people who have gotten FoW be discriminated against? FoW is supposed to be a symbol of status, but to most people, what it really is a symbol of cheating...

Cheating? No, I wouldn't say cheating. FoW armor is expensive, at least you did it legit, some others do it but buying the gold and materials from E-bay. Both ways can be used, just one has more profit for the real life person. I have no interest in FoW armor although they look great on a few classes.

Anyway, lucky you got those lucky drops, I've been deciding on where to farm for good drops and I still keep forgetting about chests... Some of those things drop some NICE stuff. Ah well, people in RA are so annoying, don't let them get to you. Pisses me off still that you HAVE to work with some of them.

-Edit-
Changed the legit thing... sorry for my stupidity!

Did you just say that buying gold on Ebay is legit?

Ew ew ew, didn't mean to say that!

Although you can do it, I'm more repulsed by it. I think I have to go back to reading the Terms & Conditions... Maybe theres something there that can stop that.

fow armor is more common on warriors then 15k ascalon.

Two reasons:

1. They're jealous. Your armor looks 10x cooler than their clone armor of full gladiators with Ascalon Helmet.

2. Most people w/ FoW armor are in fact Ebayers. Bored 30yr old men with the money can afford the 50 or so dollars it costs to buy the required materials on Ebay.

Just ignore them. Or better yet, if they call you an Ebayer, just do some smart-ass Emote at them. Start dancing or flexing or something, that'll really piss them off.

Glads is still the most common warrior armour I see. After that It would be knights, FoW isn't that common.

Cowboy Nastyman · Mar 13, 2006, 12:49 AM // 00:49

some people are just asses especially in random arenas, though i know ive only ever had people say nice fow armor to my mesmer or warrior so it cant be that big of a problem, just ignore them and fight on

chaos dragoon · Mar 13, 2006, 01:21 AM // 01:21

Why does it matter? You know that you got it legit. I dont take FoW armor as a symbol of status. The only person that should even care that you have FoW is yourself.

^ agreed i am getting my fow armor so i can look cool to me :/

I just recently treated myself to the necromancer fow armor and you know what? I worked my balls to the point that I was hearing prot spirit go off in my sleep for it without a single high end drop. I farmed UW so much until I got enough ectos to craft then I kept farming some more for ectos and traded/sold those for the shards and vellum for the craft. The total price was something like 870k.....

Theres a big difference between people who ebay'd their fow armor and peoeple who actually worked for it (without getting a godly wep)

when you craft it and put it on, you feel a sense of accomplishment, this is something you cant get if it took you like a day to get it.

I agree, certainly when I crafted my mesmers chest piece I was excited, even though it cost most of my money

You should be buying fissure armor because you like the way it looks on your character. Like the fellow saying that no "high-end" armors should be added in chapter two because then people with obsidian armor will feel cheated, that was the wrong way to think about it. Whether others think you are an e-bayer or not is irrelevent, you know you got it fairly, and who else matters?

Jessiah2k · Mar 13, 2006, 05:21 AM // 05:21

People are probably jealous. And it's pretty pathetic if they are. I don't know why you'd buy that kinda stuff offa ebay...you buy the game to play it not to buy stuff that's in the game

Lmao @ OP

I thought he found a legit problem with FoW armor, instead it is just another whiner about not gettiing the respect he thinks he deserves Roflmao

VampiricuS · Mar 13, 2006, 06:48 AM // 06:48

you know i have worked pretty hard to save the gold i have, and now with factions on its way im not so sure i want to get fissure armor now. I m afraid that if i do, better or cooler armor will be available. I know there will be 2 new sets (unless i got my wires crossed). and im sitting on ectos wondering of the value will plummet because of the new armor coming out. whats one to do......

Damn right, nothing's gonna make me take my monks FoW set off.

Took me forever to save for it and I'm damn proud of it.

That's just entirely uncalled for.

Even though this is totally off-topic, i love your name! now, where's the lol emote...

damn..none there...

Ok, back on topic!

They think that, but, screw them. I've seen runners with it, namely forge.

And i wouldn't think they ebayed for it.

Then what you do is you capture a black widow spider as well. Take a pic of both of them together. That's what I did so it really makes ppl see you have some skill (I hope).

Don't take it too personally. Personally, I've never gotten ridiculed for my FOW armor, luckily, but I wouldn't expect to never get ridiculed eventually. Since you farm like I do, you also earned it. If you earned it, you earned it. End of story.
