I would pay 100k a piece for some rediculously insane armor for my warrior. SOmething so huge and bulky I look like a mass of metal and spikes and razors... I would love it!
I already have 3 sets of 15k, but I'd really like a specialy uber set for my warrior... and not FoW, I really don't like the look of FoW.
Let's give those rubys and sappires a use eh? Introduce an UW armor crafter that needs rubys and sappires... now THAT will be expensive armor!
time for 30k, 60k and 100k armors...

The rumor is that rubies and sapphires will be used for standard Nightfall 15k armors.

which is why im slowly stocking up while the price is around 2k
i just keep telling myself itll be worth it in the long run (smacks head, "doh!")
edit-> coinciding with the 'holy UW/Heaven' thread... Im sure that whatever they are used for will be non-chapter specific... at least I would think thats how it would be.
the thing is-> I know the OP was saying that he doesnt want to look like everyone else... which I can somewhat understand (I do feel a little wierd when I see some other warrior with all black 15k dragon armor on) HOWEVER even if they DO end up making 100k armor-> you can be sure that there will be no shortage of people wearing it... and then what- we all look alike again?
My belief that it will inflate economy and encourage Ebay Gold still stands. Also I still dont want any wussy angel wings, but thats just preference.

i wonder of they will have new luxon/kurzick armors or maybe even new sides? and if so what willl those armors look like?
yea i heard about the ruby and sapphires being used in NF also. the armor better look good.

off topic, but yes Id like a new Faction. Maybe Dhuum faction which opposes Balthazaar. Every time I kill you I STEAL your faction and likewise you can steal mine. Probably wouldnt work.
But hey I AM in the cult of doom (dhuum) and we dont care about the heros or being nice

Ok - if they at least added 50-100 new sets of 15k armor it would be great. the selection currently is so low that it hurts.
variation ftw.
samifly
I always thought there should be a armor between 15k and fissure. For the not-quite uber hard core player, but someone who can easily afford several sets of 15k. There is much too much gold in this game, and I think more money sinks would be nice. Kurzick and Luxon armors were sorta like a middle between 15k and Fissure, but they are pretty cheap now that the price of amber has gone down.
Ranger Egg
100k armor would be great for people with tons of gold so i guess it would be realy cool for them but.... it might incourage people to start buying tons of money from web sites that would cause some people to rule over others just beause they have more money to spend on guild wars money.
Anyone else agree?
ok yea i have made my mind 100K WOULD BE AWSOME!!!!

The Icy Soulbreaker of Enchanting is a lightweight but powerful Dervish weapon. Its haft is made of bound ironreed wrapped with bindings made of Elonian leather. Its head is carved from strengthened skyquartz, a shatterproof crystalline mineral mined in southern Istan. The secondary blade at the base of the weapon is also made of skyquartz, and is carved in the traditional "blades of the five gods" design. Among the Dervishes, such weapons are often passed down from mentor to student, and often are as much pieces of art as they are weapons of war.
Making new rare materials is probably a better idea than letting people exploit the market for saphires/rubies. Maybe they will use them, but at this point it makes more sense not to.

If you take into account the cost of buying all the ecto and shards for that armor, its WELL over 100k anyway.
Plus the kurzac and Luxon 15ks take alot of expensive rare materials too, so their hardly cheap.
If you dont like seeing people in the same armor as you, then do what I do and buy the armor no one wears :P!
My ele is in divine path black armor and you dont see alot of people wearing that.
My Necro is in black Necrotic grotto armor and you dont see alot of people wearing that.
You have to also bare in mind whether your playing as a really popular profession. The more popular it is, the more chance of seeing someone in the same gear.
But considering we now have a choice of about 9 x 15k armor per profession and the obsideon armor, we have a large choice.
Plus with nightfall being released they will add more.
I do understand what you mean by their not being any difference between class's or armor. Thats a bit of a croc.
Maybe having 30k armor would be a nice thing, make you work twice as hard. But they shouldnt take stupidly rare items to craft them. Once you get passed 30k armor, its just getting daft.
Ebony Shadowheart
Wings? 100k per piece armor? Holy shit are ppl nuts? Ok maybe the wings aren't too bad an idea as long as they were done tastefully.
As for the previous comment about cat ears...those would be cute too, along with a little tail, but it's never gonna happen so why bitch about it? (There is nothing wrong with being an anime fan!)
If they did decide to do these things on armor, they wouldn't have to be for every profession. Example they could just do wings on some paragon armor, or cat ears (or bunny or whatever) on some ranger armor. Basically it would help diversify, which a lot of ppl on here seem to be talking about. I can relate to not wanting to have your character look like everyone else's characters but thats there mixing and matching armor comes in along with being able to dye your armor.
As for making more expensive armor, I think you're crazy. We have enough ppl buying gold and begging as it is. People are so fricking anal about how much gold they have yet they don't want to go out and earn it. People strut around in 15k armor and fissure armor but they didn't have to do any work to get it. They just bought or begged enough gold to buy it. Personally that annoys me.
Some people have so much gold they are just itching for some way to show off the fact that they are richer (therefore better) than their fellow players. How many people will get labeled as newbs (noobs, nubs, etc however u wanna spell it, it all the same damn meaning) if they can't afford this new all expensive armor? We're just asking for issues here.
Not to mention some people feel that having the massively expensive armor is a waste of money since it doesn't add anything special to your armor stats.
(Yes I know, someone's going to point out that my character wears 15k bonelace. My only response to that is 'I earned it the hard way.' Hours, blood, sweat, tears, and many deaths got me the stuff for my armor, even though I think it's over priced.

for those who want wings/cat ears:
why not just put the wings and cat ears as extra accessories for a slightly cheaper price, where it can be eqipped onto whatever armour you have as a little extra rather than having to get a whole new set of armour just for those wings and ears by paying another bloody 15K
eg - buy/craft the wings or ears from a specific npc for “less than 15k per piece ”amount and attach it onto an existing armour just purely for the looks

I dont want A-Net to make that much difference between poor and rich in the game. I am poor, I spend a week to get a sily ascetic 1.5k canthan armor for 55hp monk. If I don't love 55hp so much, put he's SS's on my walls, really laugh in fort aspenwood mission people swear me cause they can't kill me. (it was what happened when there was one in the luxon side
)Actually I dont know how am I going to get superior runes. I am going to leave GW because there isn't anything more to try "FOR ME" I am playing the game for 4 months and ever saw only 30k on my inventory at once.(It was for kurzick 1.5k warrior.) I may leave before finish 55hp because of superior runes
I really interested in death magic necro but I dont want to spend useless times of trying to get full set skills and runes. So I am never going to have an ascended armor of 15k. There is still people in collector armors. I am sure they won't get it too. And this may be off-topic but if A-Net makes 100k and makes 100k warrior armor's AL not 80 but 81 I'll be very dissapointed. And game should put easier ways to earn money. And I say if you really want a rare thing don't make it rare because of its't price but how hard to make it able to reach.(money isn't same hard for everyone as I went out from vasburg armory to farm for fun with 5 people many times in 1 week I nevel looted green I never looted green in my whole play-time) Like game should make them 15k normal materials but only people who has protector title. Or for people who compleated the game...

Actually, with each campaign that comes out.. there are more and more armor graphics.. and with Factions where some of the 1.5 armor looks better then Fow/15k stuff I can see a time where people will have no clue where the armor comes from if it's from a pervious chapter they don't own.
I still get looks wearing my ele "Ascalon" collector armor sking from factions.
Someone who jumps on starting with nightfall, unless they research it, will have no clue if it's Imperial, Lux, Kuz, 1.5k or 15k. Just by the very nature of the 6 month new game and new "sets" of armor.

Personally, this thread gives me mixed emotions as a PvE player.
While i agree with most posters here that there is already the system in place for armour variation: 1.5k, 15k and the FoW armours being the later 2 as gold sinks and adding more armours that cost more would probably not be the best idea since it might involve more grind for those who like them to own them.
First of all, from the title of the thread, i suppose the real question would be if the introduction of these more expensive armour really solve the problem with the boredom and mandane of the PvE by giving you armours that look better without any bonus to stats?
While variation and divisity is always a good thing, the form of expression in such forms dont really always means having more expensive armours to increase the time spend inorder to attain them. The event masks are a good example(though you would still need to work alittle for them but nothing too major).
Personally i feel instead of having more expensive armour to solve this problem, we could be better served with enchanments to existing elements for example such as:
-Alternative guild emblem expression other than cape: on shield or part of armour (have been suggested before-can be done as part of guild quest/unlock for example).
-Alternative Functional head pieces ie. event mask with actual stats, i did like a conical hat from completing factions rather than a green if there was the choice.
-Methods for you to "upgrade"(quests/gold/mats/unlocks via game completion ie titan quest) your exisiting armour to look like those of the NPCs you like- i did kill for a suit white mantle armour and seriously some NPC armour look better than those we have in stores.
Having enchancements that promote you to play the game to unlock or quest for them is IMHO a much better way to prolong the longevity of a game rather than to make everything more expensive and cause inflation.

I wouldn't pay 30k, its hard enoguh to get standard armor especially for new players.
Btw Do you have any idea what kind of time, labor, and development would be involved in even creating 50-100 new armor sets for each class. You want to talk about inflation, talk about price hikes on the game. you would literally have to add another team just to develop new armor sets and add them in game.

Factions introduced different face scars so everyone doesn't look the same.

Making gold is really easy, and it annoys me and confuses me when people say its hard and they cant do it.
Aslong as your in a high end area where the drops are worth around 80-200gold each, then your sorted.
If you run around and fill your inventory in that area and collect gold, then go sell them to the trader, you will make about 1k+ easily in one run.
Do that another 15 times and there you go.
You have your first 15k!
My characters are nearly always skint, and have no gold.
I can spend about a month or more trying to make the 60k + materials I need for my 15k armors, and I only own 3 sets (2 ele and 1 necro).
It just takes time and effort and alot of standing in towns shouting "buy my stuff for the love of god"

I understand what your are saying it is just that i only get like an hour or so a day to play and i like to have fun with that time not spend it repeating the same old. I would save for 15k for my rit who can farm but i decided that i am going to start saving for 15k for my night fall char (is going to be war). Oh and the angel wings good but not so good i would say alot of people would get them and then they wouldnt be quite as cool.

a 100 and 60k armor would just be the same as FoW armor,
but they could make the crafts a bit cheaper

If u wanna stand out, go around wearing a pumpkin head in town.
If u wanna look rich, go get fow armor and dye it black or something.
Maybe UW armor would be cool though to try to get, similar to FoW but different looks cause the FoW male necro looks like crap.
But we dont really need 30k/100k armors. There are plenty of different types of armor for each prof already and there will be more for the 6 main prof later.

Il be honest iv not read all 8 pages, so sorry if this has already been said.
Noone realised obsidian is only actually 15k a piece? Surely the next step inbetween standard 15k and obs is 15k with mats that, while expensive, are less than ectos?
(p.s. Sardelac Sanitarium surely?)

And I actually kind of like it how each class has their own distinctive selection of armour. It's true they could use a little more variety, but it does make pretty good sense to have it as is. And Monks don't get helmets because wearing a big metal helmet while you've got some linen robes on looks stupid. And I'd rather have a character that looks both good and just like someone else's than one that looks like crappy but is distinctive. But that's just me.
And no, strap-on horns would not look good. Come on. You can do better than that.

well you said in the OP that the problem is that there are many clones out there, and I have to agree to that, there are clones. BUT havent you noticed that there happend to be less and less clones after Factions? when NF comes, the armor diversity is going to be even larger and options for looks wont be an issue.
I think Gaile has said FOW would be the more expensive armor or osmething like that. I personally dont like the looks on FOW armor, but hey, Anet still has many realms to explore besides FOW and UW, instead of adding a 100k armor, Anet should make a UW amor, or new armor sets for the rest of the realms, (if there's going to be more realms someday, I think they will be.)

I think there should be something in-between 1.5/15k and FoW. 15k is something I can buy just by pulling out a moderately-sized chunk of platinum out of storage and FoW is a really long-term project.
A set of 15k will cost you about 70k (with materials), 100 if you add a sup vigor, whereas a set of FoW pushes a million (+/- 100k, because of material prices)
Something that would cost 200-250k for a set would be nice...
