Idea (1)
Allow all 15k, FoW, black, and silver dyes to be unlocked using faction. I think faction costs should remain at or above the actual cost in gold of the item. ( however faction cost should increase considerable if the pvp xtreme weekend raises faction results in arenas)

Idea (2)
Make 15k armors only unlocked once you purchase them on a pve character. Black and silver dyes remain to be purchased with faction at their regular cost in gold.

Idea (3)
All 1.5k armor available in Droknars Forge should be available in the creation of every pvp character.

Idea (4)
Allow for some form of dye mixing on pvp characters.(not really to sure on how to implement this one, but I would love to hear your ideas.)

I know that 15k armor, FoW armor, black, and silver dyes are meant for pve characters, and help distinguish them. For this reason I am personally more partial to idea #2, which makes it less of a big deal when you delete that character you have been playing for months and has 15k armor as it will be unlocked for pvp. I know it is just pvp arena and that looks do not matter, so please save your time on flaming me on that one...but I do not think that it would hurt anyone so much, and it would give some people with all skills unlocked another place to spend their faction.

I am really asking for feedback on this one, add to it, change it, but if you are going to say it sucks at least list some valid reasons why (beacuse the l337 armor is only for pve to pwn noobsorz is not a valid reason).

One last reminder that this would only be an option, if you do not care about pvp looks then don't buy it, I am interested to see if others would maybe like an option to change looks more on their pvp characters.

umm raising faction prices would totally make PVPX pointless

It's a good idea to offer the same PvE vanities to PvP only characters. A lot of PvP only players may not care but those of us who also enjoy PvE (and perhaps a number of PvP fans also) would love the option to customize their soon-to-be-deleted characters without spending/wasting absurd amounts of cash.

As long as they increase the rate of faction gain in general.

The frog asked for ideas for buying extras with faction... this is a good idea for it

xenoaroe, PvPX is just Anet's way of testing if faction needs to/should be raised. this is an excerpt of an interview done at ign.com

IGNPC: What are your views on unlock acquisition rate?

Isaiah Cartwright: Balancing the rate of unlock acquisition is something we are always debating. I am a strong believer in faster unlock acquisition, as I feel the game really opens up when you've unlocked everything. The upcoming PvP Extreme event (PvPX) will enable us to study the effects of our changes to that area of the game and help us make the right decisions for future updates.

I would prefer they actually finish adding all the armors for each class into the PvP character maker before they even think about making 15k available to them. I hate the look of some of those armors, but why can't I have Ascalon armor as a Warrior, or Necrotic as a Necro. These are things I'd want to see before any of this is added in.

I made something like this before but got ignored, the pure PvErs hate it, but whatever.

why allow PvP characters to use vanity armor? it's the only reason to play through PvE, because the story isn't long, farming is nerfed, you can buy anything you want with faction points, or with very little gold(i.e. runes)

Imp · Aug 26, 2005, 06:20 AM // 06:20

Then have armor unlockable.. You stil have to play through pve. but in order for that we need more cahracter slots and yadda yadda. the list goes on.

I know that I am pushing it

but I added 2 more items, I edited my original post for posterity, but will post the changes here to
----------------------------------------------------------
Idea (3)
All 1.5k armor available in Droknars Forge should be available in the creation of every pvp character.

Idea (4)
Allow for some form of dye mixing on pvp characters.(not really to sure on how to implement this one, but I would love to hear your ideas.)

-----------------------------------------------------------
Vilaptca, I would also like to see the completion of available 1.5k armors in pvp and forgot about it as I wrote the first post, I have added it now.

Rhunex, I also mentioned in my original post another form of unlocking 15k/FoW armor as only being able to get it through buying it in pve, once you have purchased it there then you have it unlocked in pvp creation. I thought that this would cut back on the backlash from the pve hardcore, and stop the "OMG I need more character spaces @#!!@" threads as that character that you have had for 200 hours and has 15k/FoW armor can still be brought back in pvp from time to time.
