I don't know how the OP can justify creating these new armors, given how the large majority of people here are opposed to it. If you want to be "amazed by awesomeness", design your own stuff and send it in.
time for 30k, 60k and 100k armors...

I love the idea of a high ticket armor set. You guys complaining about the grind it would take to get it, well I think it shouldn't be easily attainable. It should take you a few chapters to get it. Heck, make it where it takes 105 ecto, 105 shards, 105 amber, 105 jadeite, 105 Elonian Steel, etc. So you would have to get pieces from each chapter to get it. On top of that, make it 100k per piece.
We really need an ultimate set of armor.
And I don't think Anet would not offer it just because of botters selling gold on ebay. That is just ridiculous.

No, Not threw every chapter, not everybody has All chapters. Plus its just exageration. You can't carry more then 100k on any given character, you'd ahve to make multiple trips.

Give it time, when chapter 5 rolls around there will be alot less clones. Not to mention for alot of people, 15k is already expensive enough.

This would cause mass inflation on the prices of items being sold in districts. Most players do not have $ enough to get 15k set, much the less 60-100k range. Every one not a gold farmer or buyer would just increase the selling prices of their weapons, dye, mats, and components.
It would also increase gold buying.

I think Night Fall should come out with tons more armor. but 100k armors a bit much mabey 50k or 60k but not 100k. To think about the money and materials is way to much. the people would not even try to buy it! But i must aggree that some people will spend evry last bit of money they have just to buy it. But then even more twinks would hapen like level 10s with 100k armor! I guess trhey could make the armory guy in the middle of millions of enemys like FOW but you must go solo! Then low levels will stay away.

I personally don't like the idea.
I'm all for "More" types of armor. At all levels. Let it be a bit more spread out so there is a bit more individuality. But going past 15K doesn't really prove much other than you spend waaaaay too much time playing a game.
Sure... you've SPENT the time and saved up and got the ultra expensive armor, (( Or bought the gold on Ebay)) But it doesn't denote amazing ammounts of skill. Just amazing ammounts of wasted time.
I want uniquic armor. I don't even have a set of 15 K yet. Heck I think the most gold my char has right now is about 2 K and she's level 18. But I'm not going to spend literal weeks farming bad guys out side of the story line to get a different mesh of armor for my char. That's just silly to me anyway.
I get the stuff that provides the best armor class and stuff I can afford. Then if there's more than one I may go for looks.
Right now I"m runnin' around in a set of Gladiator armor dyed neon green. I like it. It's fun to fight in and watch as I go though the story. If it was the cheepest armor (Gold wise)) in the game, but stats same as more expensive ones.. I'm buying the cheepest.
Sure.. I"m not above splurging a bit to get the "look" I personally like.. but going past 15K on armor isn't going to make you any cooler. When it's all said and done. It's armor. Unless the 100K armor is pastys with twirling blades of nipple death... there's no point other than bragging rights.
Personally (( And yes I realize that's just me)) I don't need to spend a month for a different set of armor on my video game. It's my way to Relax. That sounds too much like WORK.

not enough variety in the game, everyone looks the same and at any given tim ein a populated town you can find at least one person who is identicle to you.
and for those who dont see the point, some of us have loads of gold we will never spend as there isnt much to spend large amounts on in gw, i could quite easily afford 100k armour as now all my gold just mounts up with nothing worth spending out on.

hehe lawnmower..brave lad
when you suggest something ppl cant afford or will have to work hard for you will get bashed and you will have your ass flamed to hell and back.
To those with money this is a good idea...aslong as it isnt unbalanced (better then droks) then there is no reason why this shouldnt exsist. Diversity is needed to keep a game alive.
Yes i expect "ppl will just ebay the money" type commentsand i say so what? ppl will ebay either so this makes no real arugment.
"This will increase leetism" <~plz, if you wish to worry about what some idotic schoolboy runs around saying then thats your problem.
From what ive seen from most of the responses is..
"I cant or wont farm for new armor" or "im poor so if i cant afford why should anyone else have it"

This also got me thinking of diablo2 armor sets: complete set gives a new bonus. That would be nice here. While I'm at it - why not institue rings and amulets too? Like "Ring of Mindless Fame Farming" that gives +1 to I Will Avenge You. Or "Amulet of Pet Killing" that kills your pet instantly so you can activate I Will Avenge You faster.

But seriously, back on topic, I think 15k armor is fine. Hell, if it's more grind you want, make the items you need for armor not available from the merchant.
That way, people will be forced to farm for the items they need to build the armor.
But more Gold? That's useless, really, IMO.
But I'm all for for more customized looks...

Nobody is forcing anyone to farm..they do it by choice, the 6k needed for droks doesnt need to be farmed if you play the game correctly there is a possibility that you might need to buy some mats but tough.
Ppl will ebay no matter what so that is just a lame excuse.
Nobody will be forced to buy this new armor IF added, its for those that want a bit of diversity in a game that lacks it and those with the cash to burn and yes another goldsink is needed.

But if people keep farming more; and keep demanding new gold sinks; we'll soon have 50 mil armor which is just rediculous and pointless. The line must be drawn at some point and we may as well make our stand now. You can choose from 15k armor from Tyria/Cantha/and soon Elona as well as FoW armor. That's plenty variety as it is.

Also why would we make Anet spend their time designing new armors when they could use that time actually adding something worthwhile instead.

Why not add more diversity into the game? As long as the stats are the same as 1.5k armor, there is no reason why there shouldn't be more expensive armors. I could never afford it though
.
I don't know if having 30k, 60k, and 100k armor would be the best idea as you can't carry enough money on your character. Why not have something like 15k armor, but with more expensive materials? similar to the difference between regular 15k armor and the 15k kurzick/luxon armor.

If you just want your character to look unique their is one easy way to do this DONT USE JUST ONE ARMOUR STYLE SET. Of course if you just use 1 armour style set your gena find a clone of you. Thats why I mix diffrent sets. My ranger has 15k everything but all diffrent looks
15k original druids coat
15k original frostbound legs
15k original drakescale boots
15k original leather golves
15k canha end game mask
then my monk
15k kurzick shoes and trousers
1.5k luxon chest arms and head
also theirs about 1000 or more diffrent design combos the only thing thats lacking is peoples lack of imagination and not being able 2 see outside the box.
If you just wana show your 1337 and rich and dont mind what the armour looks like then get FoW.

The OP wanted more expensive armor you signed that even though what you actually want is more diverse armor which isn't really the same thing.
Also as I said above why should we make Anet spend their time designing new armors when they could use that time actually adding something worthwhile instead.

As I said, if you really want to force Grind for your armor, forget raising the price.
Just make rare materials unavailable for purchase. This way, people are actually forced to farm for specific stuff and "earn" their armor.

Yeah i like this idea too actually. I'm running out of end-game content for myself. My idea of grind was and is faction farming, so yeah i'd rather get good loot for my time then what factions had to offer for grind. I like the shard and glob deal now, i like the idea of FOW armor, even if most of it is ugly as sin. It shows accomplishment, whether earned in game or through real world money. And honestly real world money is alot harder to come by then in game cash.................... I'd love my bank account to say "100k" 
And KOBD really is KOBD.... :P If you guys are grinding in this game or any other game for that matter, i think it's time you switched games or stopped playing them all together.

Back in my trading days i could have a made a mill in 1 trade..when you can make that kind of money FoW armor isnt a luxury item its just armor like 1.5k armor is to a average player.
Many ppl have nothing to do but farm...there needs to be a gold sink for those ppl. Granted all those that just farm hours on end could leave the game but why should they if they like the game and like the grind of farming?
But like the weapon modding debate this is another one that wont be settled.

What I really want is something to do.
Note;
-I don't think titles are a worthy end game. I just think its to grey. They are kinda funny, but not worth it.
-Doing bonus on all missions is not something I care about...
I wanna trade more. I wanna sell and buy more stuff. It would be fine by me, if they added tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of uniqe and uniqe materials. Very very rare loot.
Perhaps it could work like this...
you go up to Bjorke Benjamin Wurtzswitz(let's call him that) - The best Armor crafter in all of Elonia.
Depending on what materials you bring for him, the stats, effects and bonus mods will vary. This means that making your armor will be much more personal.
Let's say you want to make a really awesome uniqe looking helmet.
Needed;
-10,000 Ectos
- 200,000 wood
- 30 Rubys
- 100 something else
- 500 something else
- 10 different uniqe parts that are scattered all over the world.
so you want skill to interfere to? then make pvp loot too - when you kill someone in pvp, or win in HoH or beat the underworld - make it so you can loot very hard stuff and other players, uniqe materials, and certain parts.
lets expand the crafting in a massive way... people always complain that GW is boring because of so little loot, and I agree.
Looting an enemy should give you tons of stuff. 4 items at least.
it would mean massive need for more storage upgrades... great opputunity here for more gold sink.
but I also think that materials should be able to be used for other things.

/Not Sure...
I do feel that as long as I have my 1.5k I'm content.. but that would esclate things market as well.
Now I would be for Reward armor that can only be done by quests / missions, etc from items that can't be traded/bought/sold. To me that would be "elite" armor.
