Heheh I get that and I only wear 15k ascalon gloves and boots. Dyed the rest of my armor to match it. I'm almost to the point where I can buy a fissure armor for the torso but I'll definately be keeping the knights armor I have right now for walking around in towns like lions arch as to not attract too many beggars and n00bs.

Pardon me for saying so, but its just a visual change. True the Fissure is a pain in the ass, and gathering all those ectos and shards suck, and its a real accomplishment to your credit.

But, I've never once seen someone as better or different just because they had the Fissure armor. Its just that's how they chose to spend their time in the game, getting that armor.

Someone said that people look up to players in fissure armor. And that's crap. If anyone is looking up to someone in fissure armor, all their doing is looking up to a regular player who did the same work anyone can do.

I mean absolutely no disrespect to the OP at all. Or to anyone who worked to get their armor. But by the time you get to the top level, its just a fashion statement, and that's all.

People who treat you differently because of what you wear are stupid and need to be beaten.

Unless they're looking up to you because they don't seem to be able to generate the money or whatever to get the materials and get it themselves, hence they see it as a real accomplishment.

Thing is most ppl that get FoW armor take shortcuts in getting the armor. Not that is illegal or anything but it gives a false appearance of accomplishment.

I will have more respect for someone that quests all their materials & money for thier FoW armor than I will for someone that had their materials & money given to them by guildies or what not. Thing is...you can't distinguish between those that worked HARD for the armor & those that did not.

I had someone offer me 5 free shards the other day. I turned him down, not only because accepting such a gift would make me feel guilty but also because I want to EARN my FoW armor.

Hmm?

Maybe thats why a few people are stocking up on them, at least I see them spaming " I will buy all your rubies and sapphires". Perhaps they are beta testers and know something we don't know.

God if they update the FoW armor, then I'll laugh because I will look pretty stupid :O
