Sell FOW armor in the online store. I mean its ridiculous for newer players like me to have to farm or buy plat on Ebay just to get FOW armor. I mean it wont hurt or unbalance the game in anyway.... I d pay 10 bucks per char for a full set..

You buy plat on ebay? /slap

Horrible idea. The only reason fow is so sought after is because its so hard to get. Doing this ruins the whole idea.

Lol..Itd more likely be 10 bucks a piece I think. Im tempted to /sign this, because I have this crazy idea that Anet having more of other peoples money will make the game better as a whole..I can dream.

because you need skills...there will never be anything that will require you to have FoW

and newer players are not supposed to have FoW
and also there will never be anything that you will have to buy money on ebay, shame on you

/not signed

just to say it again:
YOU DO NOT NEED FOW
YOU DO NOT NEED 15K ARMOR

you really dont even need droks armor

That would take everything away from the point of FoW, it is a unique reward for playing the game and being smart with your money, if Anet did something like this I would have to quit guild wars, it is bad enough you do not have to earn your skills for yourself anymore.

I think this is more of a joke thread based on the fact that you can get skills in the online store. If you can get skills, why not FoW armor? I don't think the OP ever intended for this to be a real thing.

If he did however, I highly doubt it will ever happen. As previously stated, skills are required to fully enjoy the game. The only armor required to fully enjoy the game is 1.5k, as that's the max armor you can have, and will probably need in order to survive.

Most of the people who have fow armor now farmed for it, why should you not have to just cause you're new? And 10 bucks....... if it did happen should be like 80 per set. Then even if you bought it, it would still kinda hold some prestige of sinking that much money into it.

It wont affect the game? BS. People worked hard for months to get FoW armor, and then everyone goes and buys it legally from ANet. Months of hard work down the drain because some people dont think its fair. You don't need FoW armor. If you want it, earn it. [email protected] suggestion, notsigned.

Oh yes, that is a very considerate and good idea. Why not also add another packet "Get all outpost and missions done with master award for 10$" or what about "500.000k Faction for your Guild - only 20$". And oh this one would actually rock even more "Completely "free" Elitemission Access, only 50$ - we promised we'd give it to you.."

Amen to that.

You don't need FoW armor to play PvE, or PvP. You do however need skills unlocked to compete in PvP. Both probably take 1000+ hours to get for the average player. One they absolutly need to play the game how they want to, and one is just a super expensive cooler 1.5k armor that they don't need to do anything at all.

I have disagree with most of this statement. You do not have to be rich or famous to have FoW armor, unless you consider rich being, having the same amount of gold to get any other 15k armor. Ecto and Shards are expensive, sure, but nobody says you have to buy them, show some patience and just go collect your own.

I understand that you are trying to make some kind of point, even if you have missed all the people pointing out why you're wrong in the relevent thread. FOW armour exists as a representation of effort and money; it is a status symbol. Selling it in the store would take away its meaning. Achieving UAS does not provide you with a little title to display and show off, this is not its purpose. Achieving UAS is completely practical, for a broader selection of skills. If you feel that selling the skills in the store somehow equates to selling FOW armour, not only are you grinding for skills for the wrong reason, but you are playing the wrong kind of game. Do you understand the difference between removing grind in order to gain something for practical reasons, and grinding in order to gain something that soley represents that grind and absolutely nothing else? Apparently not.

Skills do not need to be in the store either. Store should be reserved for account stuff like char slots, name changes, upgrade to collector's edition, and preorder bonuses.

no offence dude but wouldnt that put the rich ppl at a greater advantage and the point of fow i think is to give somethign for those able to get all that a reward if u would sell it everyone would have it and its jus a way to kinda say ur rich in the game so...

One reason to get it is to show how mucvh gold you have...

Also I spent weeks and weeks working(farming XD) for mine. If you could just buy it then all that work(boredom) would of been for nothing!!!

personly i dont like the direction in witch the game is moveing atm it looks like they are doing everything they can to make more money selling skill packs witch is kinda pointless think to pay 10$ to unlock skills that should be earned is kinda disipointing cuz now all the rich kids are going to have the perfect builds becouse they have every option of skill combos out there while the kids that are trying to earn there skills and buy them with ingame money are jus getting crushed bye the kids that bought them and if you start moving to armor every lvl 1 is going to have fow at pre so that complete ruins the idea of fow and any 15k and what is going to be next if this continuse the ability to buy ingame money with real money or the ability to buy other armor and then wepons so........

/NOTSIGNED!

or the ability to buy your way to level 20 on all charracters

/signed to what he said


/notsigned to the armor idea. Though I am thinking the OP is a troll who wanted to piss people off.

/notsigned skills for sale. Anet this is the worst thing you could do. Much like my armor the skills I have unlocked I worked for. Thank you for kicking me in the nuts after spending so much freaking time playing your game.


OOOO maybe soon we can just by Lvl 20 PvE chars with all the skills and titles. Thats right lamers, you can look sooooo cool for the low low price of $49.95 +tax.

I agree with the rest of what you said, hands down, but this, no. I see no problems with the skill packs. It's only for PvP, first off. Secondly, it's only Prophecies skills, and third, it's only SKILLS. There are plenty of gear unlocks left after this purchase, as well as Factions and soon to be Nightfall skills.

The fact that a PvPer has to work (grind) for their skills in the first place is moronic to me. I don't PvP often (very rarely), but I do love my FPS's, and understand the mindset. If I had to grind for hours just to get certain weapons and ammo in a game, well I wouldn't be playing that game. That's called work, and sorry, but I'm here to play.

Skill pack aside, I think this thread proves one thing, beware the slippery slope. Offering anti-grind for PvPers is one thing, offering the only thing in this game worth wasting gold on for PvEers is madness. Gold is pretty much only used on cosmetics why? Because you don't have to grind in PvE to get what you need, only what you want. PvP is all about what you need and only what you need... there should be no grind.

Its a really sad idea. If you buy plat on Ebay you at least need to get your char ascended and get it to the FoW Armor dude... Even that is very sad.

People would buy it to salvage the Ectoplasms and Shards out of it. There's hurting the economy for you.

That would be stupid, only reason i want fow armor is coz then people can see i have worked hard enough to achieve it, it's bad already that many people with fow armor got it through e-bay, soon fow armor doesn't have any status

just because they have the skills to run the build doesn't make them good at it
and buying all the skills right away really only benifts people just starting out, because people who have been playing for awhile have unlocked the ones they need through faction, so their advantage is only temporary

experience + the necessary skills > having all the skills any day
because whether they have all the skills or not, they can only carry 8 just like you and me

First, YOU DO NOT have to have fow armor. You are acting like it's so vital to the game. And 1 more thing, e-baying is not necessary at all.
