I didn't mean to imply that everyone with 15K armor uses Ebay -- my point is that you can't judge a player's abilities form the expense of their armor.
I have two sets of armor for my main Ranger -- she wears 1.5K Druids (chosen for both function *and* look) from Droks, and 15K Druids from the Grotto. She has very fine weapons, earned by playing the normal game.
The 15K Druid's set is died black, which goes nicely with my toons' dark skin. Both sets of armor have identical stats; I use different masks to adjust attributes for various builds.
When I'm in ToA or Urgoz's, I wear the 15K, because it *does* seem to help getting into groups. With die and materials, I probably spent close to 100K on this set; as with everything in life, appearances do matter (even if they shouldn't).
When I'm solo exploring or henching it, though, I wear the 1.5K Druids. It just seems to make more sense for a ranger.
I can't stand most of the Canthan armors. The ones for the ranger are particularly ugly or stupid. Fishnet stockings on the Kurzick 15K? For a ranger? Weird.
