First of all, HA is way different from GvG, and I thinjk not many people play HA anymore (cookiecutters, arrogance, etc). And, let me tell you, the drops from the reward chest in Halls are crap. Just utter crap. 9 out of 10 drops you'll get a Flame of Balth (yippeee! 1,000 faction), after that maybe you'll get a gold weapon, then maybe a Sigil, and one out of million will get you the miniature Ghostly. And about those golds: not only the rare skins drop from them. The rare skins are just as rare as you are to find an ecto in an UW run. Seeing that you can clear the Bladies and Smities much faster than you can win Halls, my three words fopr you are: ktnxbai.

I don't play alot PvP nowadays axcepted some regular GvG and didn't use the few reward points.
I have a question, is the unlocked armor piece unlocked for every PvP toon regardless its class, for one class, or for one PvP character who wil loose this privilege if it is rerolled?

lol @ destroy the economy, i dont quite think it would destroy the ecomomy but what it would do is give PvEers the chance to get it and make it a "fun" item like it should be.

PvPers dont have any need for money, PvErs use money to buy armour and weapons and other thigs PvEwise, PvPers unlock them instead with faction etc.

Nope, reroll and lose all your hard work... its an incentive not to reroll the pvp character, so in affect, its a new style of PvE...

However, any hardcore PvP'er will have 10 slots at least, giving them 1 slot per profession (as they will have all three chapters and maybe the nightfall preorder and an extra slot for completism)

PvP'ers now have the equivalent of money for PvP - reward points!

Reward Points need to technically be farmed through playing over and over and over again, hence farming them (although no PvP'er will consider it farming as its against other players and not AI and so a lot more fun)

PvP'ers then trade in said reward points for Armour and Weapons skin unlocks

ergo, Reward Points = PvP Gold

Your now all fighting over teh same thing with a different name... SHUT UP!

as mentioned a couple of times.

why should pve care about pvp armors? its not like your going to see them. and Even if you do get lost on your way to the next uber farm and find your self in Temple of Balthz, whats going to give you a red flag that someone has obsidian armor from pvp, or pve? Im pretty sure you wont know unless you ask, but why would you ask? since it shouldnt matter.

And back to the emotes in pve, honestly, your titles are emotes, thats why anet gave you titles. so you can show them at all times and brag about your "hard" achievements.

I don't see a point to your Mini ghostly thing. It's just like me wanting Mini mallyx to drop from halls chest...Mallyx is for DoA, Ghostly is for HA.

I don't play pvp myself and I could care less if they get all of the armor unlocked. But it would be fair to allow pve players the same access. Minis, weapons or whatever. Playing pvp is about playing other people. Playing pve is about playing against the game. From what I'm seeing it's turned into what loot you can get from each variation of play instead of the play itself. So give pve players title emotes but make them different say a horse for first level, a bear for second level and a lion for final level... something like that if those aren't already in pvp. And honestly if it was up to me I would give the pvp players unlimited unlocks to all armor and weapons with no restrictions. Armor and weapon skins aren't going to affect there play. Skill and teamwork will. Farming loot or farming points is all the same to me. But I was curious about something, doesn't a title show above the head of pvp players that relates to their rank as well as getting an emote? And as for destroying the ecomony by allowing access to pvp items, who's it destroying it for? Just allow EVERYTHING from both sides to go to everyone. Then we can all find something else to complain about.

"pve armors" are the defaults for pvp characters. If you want a runic blade or stygian axe try beating Mallyx and see what he drops.

AND FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE SAYING MINI GHOSTLY SHOULD DROP IN PVE?!!? WTF?!?! THEY WOULD BE WORTH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THEN DESTORYING THE ECONOMY AND ALL YOU SCRUBS WOULD RUN AROUND HA THINKING YOU WERE SO 1337 FOR A WEEK UNTIL THEY NERFED THE INEVITABLE FARM TO GET THEM!!!

Those greens come with set stats, what if you didn't want them?

while i agree the mini pet should be left pvp only as pve has mallyx, insulting a large group of people i don't agree with. Using the term "scrub" shows how childish you realy are.

on another note: it appears a pvp character on a prophecies only account can unlock kurzick/luxon armour, kinda strange seing as thats part of the "content" you purchase with the full version of factions. :S

/notsigned. I rarely play pvp, but I fail to see why it would matter what armor they are wearing, it has the same stats anyway, which is why I haven never bothered to get elite armors..

You do get the point. You do see how absurd it is.

You just labeled Mallyx as DoA (pve) and the Mini Ghostly as HA (pvp).

In that sense, The Ascended armors like Elite/10k/Obsidian were only available in PVE, just like other things were available only in PvP (Sigils).

Each gametype had their own incentive for playing.

Rank is only available in PvP. Balthazar Faction is only available in PvP.

Content is designed to get people crossing over.

Overlapping content is stupid, imo.

Leave the elite PvE armors to PvE. PvP rewards should be unique to PvP. THeres a few unique skins, but the "Elite" armors of PvP are essentially handme-downs from PvE.

PvP should have its OWN elite armor.

This thread has become a monster, and as I don't have the number for the Ghostbusters handy, I'll fire up my own proton pack and kick the trap switch myself.

If you're going to complain about PvP players getting items you believe should be PvE exclusive, try doing it at a forum where PvE is a sacred religion, never to be contaminated with the evils of Player versus Player competitions.
