While on my way to find the Monk Boss Myd Springclaw to get that accursed Shield of Judgment spell for my 55 monk, I happened to notice that armour at the Granite Citidel cost about 15K apiece, and uses vast amounts of materials that could feed a village for a week, but had the SAME stats as Droks armour,.

Has Anet one Crazy? or are Villagers just sick of eating Parchment?? Plz respond.

It's been that way for a long time...

zomg no!

15k armor has the same stats as 1.5k armor as it is just a money sink for the grind-fans to splash out to show how amazing they are at doing something really brainless repeatedly for in-game gold (read: farming)

If it was better it would kind of ruin the philosophy that GW is skill > time spent. (Although it would be wrong to deny that the game does require a certain amount of grind)

yep, hi shantel.

lol where have you been?

the purpose of 15k armor is that it looks different from Droks... its a status symbol to say "Hey... look at what I can afford to wear."

I smell a closed thread coming up.

Please read guides before posting. It is old information and all you are doing is wasting bandwidth and time of posters.

It's a money sink yes, but dont assume just because someone has it they do something 'really brainless repeatedly' to show how amazing they are.

I bought mine because I didn't have anything else to spend my money on, so I thought why not. I dont farm. I've gone to areas hoping to make money or find something good, but I'd get bored of it too quickly to actually farm areas.

It's a money sink. There is no uber armor. Fissure of Woe armor, or "Obsdian Armor," has the same stats as the armor from Droknar's Forge also. And next time, make a REAL title for your thread instead of "Wtf??" That doesn't help anybody know if they should read it or not. Closed.
