15k Armor Unlocking for PvP Chars

I would like for the 15k armor types (purchased by RPG chars at the grotto and citadel) to be unlockable through faction for PvP characters to wear. I realize this is a major investment for RPG chars and so should be equally costly to unlock. This would be a gimmick for faction, just like it is in RPG.

An extreme cost would be 10k faction to unlock one piece from one armor type for one class. Then it would take 40k faction to unlock a single set of armor.

I played an RPG ranger for a long time, and I love the model for the 15k Druid's armor set. However, I have since switched to playing a PvP ranger because I have more skills unlocked to use for 2ndary classes. I would very much like to be able to use all my skills for PvP *and* have the armor I like to wear.

Another option would be to allow people who have purchased nice armors in RPG to automatically unlock the purchased armors for PvP. Faction seems like a more apt approach, but 'earning' it in RPG is almost as good.

Any reason this shouldn't be added?

Search is your new best friend.

if you do this you need something to give to pve chars.

mr search button is my friend.

he helps me find useless posts that could have been added to all the other dead threads on this subject.

basically there are 2 types of rewards.

pvp gets fame and rank

PVE gets the vaniety items.

if you want to get a PVE reward do the PVE to get it.

otherwise let me have rank at 25k/rank

Er, why?

Why should PvP characters be getting PvE rewards? Wouldn't it make sense for us PvE players to get something as well...

No... you dont deserve it... it's for PvE... same as greens.

Tough titty.

ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY NOT!!!

15K armor, just like Fissure armor and green items, are something special to reward PvE players for their time, effort, patience, and willingness to play the real game instead of PvP. You can't get them unless you earn them. Period.

Get to work.

Heh, no thanks; I think I'd rather play PvP.

exactly my point. thanks vila!

15k armor is for pve characters only you pvp people cant have them

I think ANET made a bad move by separating the community into two
- PvE
- PvP

Should everyone be equal there will be no complaints

PvP should get some new armor. Maybe if they did some type of level thing for the unlock. You have to unlock 10? levels (like unlocking minor and major before superior) before you can get 1 piece of armor. Each level being 10k faction.

i reckon that armour should be unlocked as your pve character gets it. So, if you get 15k armour of a type, you can get it for a pvp char.

But then again, it is the pve special thing, pvp is already being supported way too well it seems...like faction complaints...ugh...used to be 5 faction or somethin for winning lvl 20 arenas...now it's 25 + another 25 if you win flawless....faction is now worthless.

PvP = INFEDELS

What's with all the hostility towards PVP?

edit: I've asked this before in other threads without enlightenment, so I guess I should just give up, but still... I totally don't get it.

Suppose it's gripe when something is introduced in the game it's labeled either 'PvP addition' or 'PvE addition', and when there's PvP addition, PvE people cry for additions, and vice versa. Then it's all hating when other groups wants something because it would hurt the other group somehow.

That's what I'm guessing anyways..

Hopefully this will be sorted out in Factions with the new kinds of gameplay...

Oh, and to the OP: search...

Here are some threads I found very easily on this exact same topic...

This one being the biggest and containing a large scale quoting argument...if you wanted to talk about it I would suggest you revived this one asking what people think now.

And a bunch of other threads that put forward the same idea amongst other things...

As a PvP player myself I don't think this should be allowed. If your such a good PvP player, then you should be able to win a load of sigils to get the money, and PvE isn't that hard. I use a PvE character in PvP, just bought the green items, runes and armor with all the sigils I win ^^

As I say, want the vanity? Do the grind...

They should be happy to have a whole selection of droks armor, along with the FREE pvp superior abs/vigor runes that'd cost a pve character tons to buy.

If it were up to me it'd be just collector armors for pvp
