Perhaps it's different between servers, but I've never had any abuse over any of my 15k sets, nor heard anyone giving anyone grief for wearing high end armour.
I bought a Vabbian mix for my Sin a few days ago (my poor Xunlai vault!) and I've had nothing but compliments.

Fixed.

I'm sorry but your post is total nonsense. You don't need to sit in front of your pc for twelve hours to get stuff. There are farming builds on this forum which can get you money and allow you to have a life at the same time! Really! I'm not kidding! Hell you don't even need to pve to get rich. Just get a good group and go do some pvp in heroes ascent for an hour or two. Get to halls and beat the other teams for rare inscribable weapons worth tons more than what you could make in a week or even a month of grinding.

If you don't work for anything, don't expect to gain anything. You don't know until you've tried. This is coming from someone who has done it all and gotten it all while having a fulltime job (nowhere near a computer) with a very active social life

To the OP if you like the armor, go for it! Who cares about what people say.

did you read my post after the initial one? im guessing no...

go back to page 2 and browse and you'll see

Grotto is the equivalent of Pre-Searing Ascalon City.

My ranger has 15k druid's, other than that all my chars have 1.5k armor (except my mule who is naked, though I may get him some cheapo Ascalon armor just so I don't need to stare at his nudity on the character selection screen).

People who eBay gold are missing out on a lot. It's like cheating. You know, you may use a trainer or cheat code in a game once. But then you can't resist and you want to try all these other cheats until you rely solely on it.

Just ignore those snooty all-FoW character players if they cause you trouble. Maybe someday you'll be able to get 15k armor. The game tends to reward fubar drops to those who are humble or desperately need the money (and I mean desperately not as in desperate to get that last piece of 15k armor, I mean desperate as in you can't even afford salvage/ID kits for farming and such). I was doing a B/P in the new UW, thinking "Blah, will just get a green worth a few plat, what's the big deal", when I get an ecto AND a black dye in the same run, plus a few plat worth of items.

Well, if you had paid a bit of attention to the news, you would have known that ebay has banned all sales of virtual money. Virtual property, such as those in Second Life are still sold.

Eldin · Mar 08, 2007, 02:02 AM // 02:02

Besides eBay, there are several non-ebay businesses operating on sites that sell MMORPG gold for real-life money via PayPal.

In fact, I think there's one company that sells like WoW, GW, RuneScape, MapleStory, and several other MMORPGs' currency all on one site. It's scary.

or

4) They just suck at playing a wamo (like me).

Mostly I just have him to farm with. And I don't have obsidian armor for any of my characters, though I suppose I could get it.

Skyy High · Mar 08, 2007, 02:10 AM // 02:10

I've bought 9 or 10 15k sets in the time I've played GW, two of which were on now-dead chars, and I've never been called an ebayer by anyone. Now, if I had consolidated some of that cash and bought some FoW armor, I might have stories to tell, but I think most players understand that 15k armor really isn't too hard to get anymore.

Lord-UWR · Mar 08, 2007, 02:11 AM // 02:11

Yes, that is scary, however, it is a relief that ebay, a major source of this form of trade, is no longer supporting it.

My characters routinely get compliments on their assorted 5k-15k armors. I have yet to see anyone flame/rant at any of my characters for selecting good eye candy.

KingKryton · Mar 08, 2007, 02:40 AM // 02:40

i have black vabbian and have never recieved any abuse about it

Kook~NBK~ · Mar 08, 2007, 02:52 AM // 02:52

Where are people meeting all these jerks who give greif over the pricy armor?

I've had my Mesmer's FoW armor for about a year now, and have been playing the crap out of her. I've gotten tons of complimments on it, several "congrats" and only one or two people asking if I e-bayed it. I respond with a "Hell, No!" and that's the end of it.

Darkobra · Mar 08, 2007, 03:26 AM // 03:26

If you like an armour, get it. If you don't like an armour, save your money. I have two end game warriors for my warrior: Canthan and Elonian. I got it because I like how they look. I'm not really gonna care what others think about it.

It's true that others do bash around people in FoW armour. 90% of the time it's because the people in them attract that attention by acting immature. Although I HAVE seen one instance where a guy was standing there in silence, going through his storage. Two idiots walked up to him and started insulting him over his armour, completely unprovoked.

As for the whole "wammo" stereotype, I use a warrior/monk myself. I ALWAYS use monk secondary in PVE. I get a bit sick of running into terrible teams and having only me survive, so I have to rebirth them all. Or even better. Having only me and one monk left and finding out that the monk has no real resurrect. So I take it upon myself to make sure that I ALWAYS have a reusable resurrect, like Rebirth. Does that make me less intelligent? Well, if you think dragging my team from the gutters is stupid...

Oofus · Mar 08, 2007, 03:32 AM // 03:32

You: /buys 15k armor
Random tool: "LOL you noob you cant even afford FoW armor."

You: /buys FoW armor
Another random tool: "ZOMG you eBayer you suck get a life."

The moral of this passage; No matter what you do, or have, tools will allways be there to shoot their virtual mouths off and have something negative to say. Be your own person and wear whatever armor you like the look of. If you like FoW then wear the hell out of it.

1.5k Shing Jea Ele armor FTW!!!

Let the plebs think what they like.

At the time you could not do all Canthan missions with a foreign character.

I ebay skill points.

Fow armor can be made in a day(without ebay)

anyone who makes fun of someone wearing fow or 15k is just an idiot who usually isnt competent enough to use his/her brain to make the cash required to get a set of their own

arcanemacabre · Mar 08, 2007, 05:34 AM // 05:34

I have never had anyone do something like that to me. I've had people compliment my armor, but not accuse me of eBaying or anything. Though honestly, what does it matter? If someone really is jealous of your armor, no matter what they accuse you of, as long as you think it looks good and you feel good about how you got it, take it as a compliment.

Best way to deal with jerks - ignore 'em.

GourangaPizza · Mar 08, 2007, 05:45 AM // 05:45

There is someone who's jealous of armors? I didn't know there was, for all I've seen so far are people jealous with titles, especially Champion and Gladiator titles.
