All non-max armor is inscribable, why not max collector armor? ANet wants to deemphasize money, yet wants us to buy armor at 1k + crafting material per piece for max armor.

Collector armor has never had bonuses on it in the past (except certain headgears) before the changes were made in May to allow Tyrian and Canthan armor to use insignia so why should it now?

Because its waaaaaaaaaay too cheap.

Most of the time, you get one 1k+matrials piece in exchange for trophies that cost less that 150g.

because they changed all armor to be inscribable including the ones bought from tyria and cantha. they even allowed lower level collector to be inscribable making them on par with crafted armor. i have to wonder why they didn't do the same for max collector armor given their stance on casual players.

way too cheap? and who exactly would complain? is money not the issue here? is it not the reason for the loot nerfing? besides, people will still be crafting armor because it's faster than going from place to place finding the exact collector. people will still craft armor for the different skins. making max armor inscribable puts it on par with crafted armor - great for the casual player who can then use the money saved to buy runes and insignias instead.

Eh... getting 5k and some materials is quite easy.

But farming for trophies, then selling them in packs for more than 500% they value is not something needed here.
