I find most 15k armors look terrible dyed black. You end up losing a lot of detail, to the point where you can barely even tell it was 15k in the first place. There are exceptions, though, such as the ranger's studded armor. The non-dyed portions are silver tone, so it looks good with the black. On the other hand, mesmer rogue's armor has black for the non-dyed portions, losing almost all detail.

Ranger Female Frostbound, 3 pieces (only the tunic looks different to me, and just barely, so maybe it's not 15k at all)

You would have to maximise the picture to get the full-quality view!

Question about 15k armour. When you create a PvP char, does it only become available after you've reached it in the story line? I've just gone searching into the PvP creation bit and the armour available is equivalent to the 1500 (which is where i am in the storyline). And are the differences between 1500 and 15000 noticable (i didn't see any on my pyromancer for the past 2 upgrades). I did see that the 15000 pyromancer leggings are different though (The legs had fishnets, 1500 and bellow are bare and the part that dyes was differently shaped or something).

That IS nice. I've been wondering whether I should save up for that or not. I appreciate the pic.

Just wondering, on the shoulderpads, is that what color orange turns that to? Because it looks like a molten red in your pic.

I'm another poor soul who bought the druid's vest for 15k. It was the most money I had ever had, and now I have the same armor that I had in the first place. I will just save it in my storage, and with any luck, an update will fix the graphics on it. I was absolutely crushed when I put on my new 15k armor only to find that it looks exactly the same as the 1.5k armor.

And you people saying "why didn't you look at the little picture before buying it?" I sure as hell can't tell by that little tiny icon if the armor looks any different or not, so let's beg for anet to fix this rather than giving us folks with small monitors a hard time.

Yes, that's pure orange, looks like lava eh? I love the look of it!
BTW, that's not me in the pic, just some guy I found.
