I believe I said that was at an absolute minimum, as I have seen some titan gemstones going for ~100k. Most sellers are charging 100k to 100k + 20 ectos. Also, as more people successfully complete various areas of DoA, the price for gemstones will drop. I still expect these weapons will still cost more than FoW armor. To put some perspective on the dollar cost, a quick scan of eBay reveals that 1 million in-game gold is ~$50. If we go with the current higher selling price for titan gems, we need 7.5 million for titan gems, 2.5 million for stygian and torment and 625k for margonite. Total 11 million in-game gold, which translates to a real world cost of $550.
As much as I want a pink shield, there's no way I am going to grind for months to get one. I'm also not insane enough to spend over 10x the cost of the game to get one item. The 100 gem requirement is completely insane for this item. If they had a value of ~10k (like ecto or rubies, etc), then the torment items would be a more reasonable goal. As it is now, I just collect and hold on to my gems in the insane hope that the prices will come down and I can eventually get what I want. Screw Razah. He isn't pink.
