obby vs. 15k armor - Page 3 - Guild Wars Forums

[email protected] · Feb 20, 2008, 02:23 PM // 14:23

most of my armours are the factions max level versions of the prophecies presear starters or collectors armours...

i think they look best...

Protector of Orr · Feb 20, 2008, 02:23 PM // 14:23

Hmm Fish armor does look cool but it costs like way way to much for a normal GW's player to be able to afford it, Personally i would choose 15k armor
1- Looks cool
2- doesnt require as muhc money/requires

I agree with everyone here that there are some good looking armors out there, however, they are not obsidian and don't hold the same status in my eyes. Sorry, just my opinion.

Amadei · Feb 20, 2008, 05:38 PM // 17:38

Who cares about status? Don't worry about what other people think; it's not an e-peen contest. The most important thing is whether you like it. Decide which armor you think is prettier and get that.

And please stop calling it "obby", it makes me want to gouge out my eyes with a rusty spoon.

Dreamwar · Feb 20, 2008, 06:02 PM // 18:02

Most obsidian armors are fugly, IMO.
Just get the armor combo you like

Well you're right, I did. I wasn't trying to flame the guy I quoted, nor did I mean to imply I was singling him out... what I said, I meant in general among all GW players. I quoted him because he and I were talking about the same group of players.

I care about status. Obsidian armor means you poured 8+million into your armor. That is what it means. It means that a vast majority of players out there don't have what you have, and those that do, grinded and powertraded to get it. That is what it means to me. I could easily reverse the comment you made and say who cares about 15k? It is worthless. Also, If I ever get tired of my armor, I salvage it and purchase a set of 15k with whatever is left. lol

Soooo you do care about the appreciation of some guys you'll never see, and probably believe you ebayed it?

OP : Take the nicest-looking armor that you can afford.

I just did a quick google search. For 13$ US you get 100k ig (and the possibility of getting permanently banned). Multiply 13$ by 9 (900k that is) and you are paying $117 for Obsidian Armor with real money. Who the hell would do that? To put it straight, I think there are a lot of jealous people out there. I don't spend that much money on my car, never mind a pixelated character.

Alicendre · Feb 20, 2008, 08:20 PM // 20:20

No thanks, I'm not jealous of someone who ruins their life for a few pixels...

Excuse me...? WTF are you talking about? Who ruins their life over a few pixels? Who called you jealous? I was talking about people who claim that everyone who buys Obsidian armor did so on ebay. Are you in "seeking attention mode?" If so, please disengage... no one was targeting you.

**cosyfiep** · Feb 20, 2008, 09:07 PM // 21:07

get the armor YOU like....doesnt matter what it cost. If you like a 1plat mix --go for it, you like the ughly FOW, yeah, uhm waste the money to get it....you like vabbian---yep get it.
It really doesnt matter what we think, since you will get the whole gambit of responses here from the "FOW is the ugggggghlist armor out there [my stance]' to the "you arent uber l337 until you get FOW"....
your choice, your money, your time, your characters--we cant make the decision for you.

He asked for help and everyone here has given him help, even if some of it is misguided. Obviously it matters what we think if he is asking us. lol

yes but we cant decide for him.....only the OP can decide, we can give him the options, and our opinions but in the end only he(she?) can make the decision.

kerpall · Feb 21, 2008, 12:30 AM // 00:30

No Matter what anybody says on this thread.
"fow is ugly, fow is gay, fow is easily ebayed, etc"

FoW armour WILL always be the Elite armour people buy for status. That is why people sell it on ebay! You dont see people selling 1k armours on ebay?

You can ask 100 people ingame, and 90% of them will tell you Obsidian armour is more Elite than any 15k out there(although Vabbian is up there too).

If you want the "status" , buy FoW .

If you want something YOU think is cool (dont listen to anyone else, check Wiki instead) , then buy a 15k. People will argue 1k are okay, but the Whole reason they made 15k, was so that it would be Better than 1k.

FoW was (origionally) designed to be the Best armour in guildwars. Although new campaigns have brought new armour to guildwars, FoW was the best armour you could have. I personally like FoW for monks, and plan on buying it should i ever decide to sell some of my mini's.

jonnieboi05 · Feb 21, 2008, 08:48 AM // 08:48

well imo don't judge a book by it's cover. someone with obsidian armor does NOT mean skill-- and vice-versa. i have 6 sets of obsidian armor-- does that mean i "ebayed" ? no. not at all. i have 26 maxed titles to back myself up on the fact that "expensive armor means you ebayed and further more you must suck!" is not accurate what so ever in the slightest bit. armor is armor; no matter how you look at it, it does *not* show player exp/lack of exp.

to the OP, check out "www.wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_Page" and check out what armor sets are availiable. if you want obsidian armor, then hey, more power to you. fow armor, in a sense and imo, shows a pinnacle point of one's ability to work the market/farm/save (or the occasional "ebayers, if you want that thrown in there). so go nuts and have at it. ^^

raja · Feb 23, 2008, 02:28 AM // 02:28

well, the character I'm thinking of buying fow armor for is my female rit.

I want it cause I really like the look of it. Like I said though, I'm liking a few other armours as well (elite canthan, elite imperial, ancient) so idk if I should work for my fow armor first. I'm really liking the look of it though. It's all about which to buy first.

Abonai Laguna · Feb 23, 2008, 08:50 AM // 08:50

Buy 15k, i find it better looking then the most obsi

Kumu Honua · Feb 23, 2008, 11:42 AM // 11:42

I looked at all the armor available.

The only two that I like for Male ranger at all are drakescale and obsidian. I actually like drakescale better than obsidian.

I'm amazed that there are people who would kick someone out of a group because they didn't conform to their point of view. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the lack of respect most people in this world show to others especially with the anonymity of the internet...

I'll be the ranger in white drakescale. If that's not good enough for the elitist donkeys, then so be it.
