Yes. Do it ANet.
that will keep the inflation down and give people a goal worthy of grinding.
but does armors better be cool...
for monk for example, there should be wings... on the back on the chest armor.. devine angel wings, that have animations.
it will rock:-D
But seriously... diversity is killing me...
Im getting so tired of seeing clones of myself constantly. I can understand that we cant change our body fat(even though it would be great to play as a severely obese mesmer), or change eye color, and so on, but I surely hope that there will be a much much bigger selection of different armors in nightfall than in factions, because that was sort of bad.
You can't just take two different armors and duplicate them entirely and just give them different names and stats. thats just to weak. even for an EA game for god sakes... thats just consumer rape. ethnic gaming wipeout. soiled insanity, even. jesus.
stuff like 100K armor should be the ultimate... I mean.. the materials needed to also gather it should be so rare that it would be impossible to get it.
maybe they should just make some stuff that is so hard to get that no one will ever be able to get it. that way, the carrot-on-a-stick syndrom would be able to live on, through vanity and fear from the customers.
time for 30k, 60k and 100k armors...

The # of possible armors availiabe determine the rarity of your appearance, so making them expensive is irrelavent to rarity. However you were 100% correct about adding grind, which is what the game was suppose to try to avoid. Anyways, I like the wing ideas but then everyone would want the extra cool armor and when the market wants it, they'll find a way to get it, no matter how much grinding the company sets up. Hey this could be a good way to keep players busy between chapters

Wings have already been discussed for armor. Frankly, it would be pointless for them to design that many skins for each profession.

this is stupid.
there is no reason why ANY item in the game should ever be sold for 100k or more.
If you have payed 100k+ecto for anything I pity you.
Granted some people will pay whatever for that nice perfect Zodiac Sword or whatever, but seriously- its retarded.
100k armor? No thanks- unless the 100k armor wipes my ass after I crap, its kind of stupid.

emo? Im a little old to be 'emo' homeslice. Back in my day it was 'hardcore' until all those kids got nowhere and started crying on stage...
And how am I a time traveller again? Youre talking decreasing inflation, but having rediculously priced armor is going to make the problem worse. You say itll increase replayability, but actually it will only increase grind.
Plus, you wanna talk Emo- well talk about your little angel wings then.

Noooo! I don't even have enough money for 15k armor yet! Oh well, time to start farming more than 1 run a month...
Its a good idea though. I like it. I mean we have 1.5k, 15k, and a million k armors, so why not fill in the gaps in between?

Edit: Wow now that I think of it, it would be insane if obsidian was 1000000k armor, 15k armors that much gold per piece, can you imagine paying 5million gold in pure gold (one piece at a time, and only with a full storage) AND adding all the ectos and shards :O that would be crazy. I sure am glad that the FoW armors not 1million k lol
Horseman Of War
It would only increase ebay gold sales. That is my stance on it, and you can bet that ANet feels the same on it.
Its bad enough all the people in Fissure Armor who didnt earn it themselves. Your precious armor means nothing to me.

Do you know how many ppl in GW are so rich they don't know what to do w/ their money? Some ppl who have 1 million are anal about letting their storage vault gold drop below 900k, they just keep hoarding it. I'd rather not have a new armor that instead of solving the cloning problem (which is not a problem to me), would separate the rich from the poor. All the rich would look like clones, and all the poor would be scrounging just to get a set of Gladiator's from Droknar's. No thanks.

It seems you havent bought factions and only play prophecies. There was a ton of new armor designs for each class when factions came out and even more when nightfall comes out. We have enough armor designs and much mroe to come, how can you still complain about lack of armor?

Instead I'd like to see more 1,5k-15k armorsets in Nightfall, perhaps 8-10 1,5k and same amount of 15k? Factions had less types of armor in total but more unique sets instead of only 1,5k and 15k version of the same armor.

I'm always for more choices. 30k seems to me to be the best idea as it would make a nice choice in between 15k and FOW.

What I don't get, is why you oppose it. Are you just one of does people who like to be mr.-oppesite?
it doesnt affect you. If you dont want to pursue the armor, then don't. Let people who got more money than they can spend, get something worth bragging about to their friends. its just skins, but its a goal and achivement and a reason to keep playing, and a reason to be proud of what you have accomplished in the game.
I don't get it... I really don't.

Second, it isn't really a lack of armor designs, but more like a lack of armors that are priced in between the 15k and obsidian armor.

There is no need for a bazillion armor types, especially since, when you consider all currently-existing armors, as well as every single dye combination, we already have a bazillion.
Plus, I'm one of those people who can't afford FoW armor (richest I've ever been is 80k), and I need not go even crazier over armor (15k is good enough for me).

i would never spend 30, 60, or 100k per peice on a paragon or dervish armor. and i would never buy fow armor cause its rediculously expensive looks like crap and the amount of materials and prices for them is just absurd plus i dont have such an ego that i would feel the need to show how much e-wealth i have
Lawnmower
I think ebayers and etlism is out of our concern, and I think its so wrong to hinder gameplay mechanics because of stuff like that.
Also, I will never be able to get 100k armor, but I still want it, even though I will never get it. because then I have a goal.
titles are just lame.. no one cares... its just a title. so boring. a really cool looking armor that only 1 or 2 guys in the entire game has, which when they enter a district, they turn everyones worlds upside down out of sheer awesomeness...
they could even make combo specific armor sets.
for example, a uniqe armor set for Warrior/Monks only. its designed could be paladin-holy knight like. shiny armor, with devine aura surrounding it...
think of the possibilities. the diversity. the new colour. the freshness. it only takes so long for the game to feel really old, grey and down right depressive.

If you want to blow money so bad go grab FoW or multiplle 15Ks and perfect gold weapons...
Why do you want 30k/60k/100k armors is beyond me. Player skill > armor cost.

As a player who bought his first set of 15k armor when the price of amber was still at 2k a pop, I think that there should be more 1.5k options than anything. Allow the elite/rich/eBayers/whatever to have their fancy FoW armor, but 30k+ a piece is insane. It promotes grinding, demoralizes the average joe player (who I think the game still is unbalanced to, I mean, all of the market prices are insane for the guy who only plays so much....what about the little man?), and is a huge gold sink, which there are already plenty of in this game.
I think ANet should include 4+ armor options at the 1.5k level, and a set of 15k to match it, much like they did with factions. They should also make the older Prophecies armors into the Faction equivalents, having the skin and armor option was cool in factions and is poorly missed in Prophecies.
So as a closing note, I own several 15k armors now, all of which I bought with my hard earned money, but I think that there should be more options around the lower levels than the higher ones.

I dont like the idea..it will just cause more big heads and ego's. I earn everything of mine......people may think i ebay but i dont. I remember back in FFXI people bought gil. I would train mobs to those chinese gil farmers cuz they would sell gil. Yeah i got temp ban but it was so worth it. Then SE started to see why me and others did it..and they didnt complain anymore rofl.
But back to the point. I agree it would just promote ebay. I think 15k is a fine limit with if anything..harder to get materials (thats the limit imo)
Although i still dream of a 15k prophecies knights set....

The idea is fine with me. Ive been playing since may 2005 and i still occasionally pull up next to someone with fow armour and have a 2 second look. The thought of where the money came from never crosses my mind and i couldn't care less if they farmed the money or they bought it. The armour looks the same either way.
Who cares how people got it.
The people i get annoyed with are the people who don't know how to play in a group not the people who buy money for stuff or take shortcuts.
I'm not sure why people have to focus so much on someone elses view of how the game should be played or items should be obtained. People don't "disgrace" themselves for taking shortcuts. Every facet of life is always looking for a shortcut.
So i say bring it all on. It will give me something to look at for another 2 seconds.
