NO!
This is not a fps, you don't get everything just given to you. People should be rewarded for dedicating time to the entire game, and not just specifics. If you want the good looking armor, you can work for it. If all you want to do is pvp, then all you get is the standard pvp equipment. While GW is not a game based on who ever spends the most time playing, their should still be some kind of novelty to those who do play alot. That is what the 15k armor and fissure armor are for.

Bumping this because I agree. I was going to make a post about it if there wasn't one already :P

After getting the new druid armor for my pve ranger I'd love to see the option of using it for my pvp rangers

AceSnyp3r, Drakron, RTSFirebat, EtrnalXellotath..

Great stuff you guys. I'm in total agreeance (did I just made that word up?) here.. I've spent hours and hours and HOURS slaving away at the killing fields to finally afford my set of 15k armor, and it's just simply shameful to see all these people wanting to be able to unlock by paying it off with sums of Faction; by playing PvP alone! Disgraceful!

The sets of 15k armor are designed to set apart those players who have achieved the pinnacle of greatness throughout the PvE storyline.. It's not just to "make my character look pretty", it's a symbol of achievement and ownerism.

And yes, I definitely made that last word up.

I would rather not see 15k armor sets as unlockable items for PvP only character unless the PvP players go through similar difficulties I did to acquire the money and materials.

Before someone says something like I just don't want PvP players to have the cool armors because I do PvE only, I will tell you all that I play PvE and PvP as well.

Someone said earlier on that 10k Faction would be a fair amount to spend on those armors. Well, it most certainly would NOT be fair. You can gather 10k Faction points real quick doing GvG and Tombs and if someone can't, that's just because this person needs to practice.

It takes days or weeks (depending on how good you are with making money) to come up with 75k for the armor sets and I am not even counting the materials required. On the other hand, even if you are not a top PvP player, you can gather 50k Faction in a few days.

I'm not saying that PvP players should not have the armors. All I am saying is that they should have to spend a lot of Faction points if they want them.

I think PvP'rs should be allowed to unlock armour after earning it in battle.

You can't take your PvP outside of arena or tombs, so I don't see the conflict with PvE players. Perhaps the armour could be unlocked after reaching a certain rank for example, and then by paying with faction.

I think that idea is pretty bad, being able to unlock the 15k armors through balthazar points would make them a hell lot more accessible (considering the fact that u get 250 faction after winning a gvg) and would piss off the PvErs that played through the whole game and worked hard for them. The armors give nothing extra except for the looks, you want them, well start PvE or stop complaining and focus on the gameplay rather than the looks of your armor.

I doubt sombody who made a pvp character hasn't already started an RPG character and played through the story line. If they're in it for only the PVP aspect of the game, they didn't get their moneys worth.
