As noted, pretty much all the specialty pieces from GW:EN. Also, female ele elite stormforged gets quite a lot of action. :P And the obvious black-dyed monk/war FoW and dervish Primeval.
Equipment? Crystalline Sword, Elemental Sword. IDS by a mile. The higher-end Aegis shields. The Scar Eater. Voltaic and Tormented are overrated too, but I actually like them a lot and I can see why they're in high demand. I wish you could change the color of Tormenteds, though. I hate purple. XD
Title? Legendary AFK of Ascalon and Survivor. :P With a few exceptions you just know R3 Survivors quit a few missions, probably rerolled a bunch of times, and sent the H/H forward into battle while they hung back and cast Mending or whatever on themselves. Probably the Protector and Guardian tracks too, since it just shows you can steamroll with H/H or Ursan or pay for a run.
Edit: Also, Flesh Golem is overrated as an elite. Really not as good as Jagged Bones, IMO.

Warrior Man-bra armor. I hate the looks of that stuff. Put a set on the female warriors and I might buy her a beer though...
LdoA and any titles you can buy are over-rated imo.
Most under-rated... Male Asuran Mesmer armor with sunglasses. Bad-ass.

I think they look yummy. They fit nice with Vabbian armor sets... although... who like Vabbian armor sets? XDDD

Vabbi is nice for eles and female dervs and... ummm...yeah

Crystalline sword. Its a very unimpressive low poly item IMO. Seriously that thing can't be more then 50 Polys. It looks like they just stuck a chamfered box on a handle then made a quick slice on the tip and bottom of an attached double sided plane. Its kind of funny how people envy this item considering how it probably only took 5~10 minutes top's for Anet 3D modelers/artists to make.
Um Yeah

I'm not really against anything, as long as the person using it looks stylish and tasteful.
All FoW armor but about 3/20 sets look horrid, i think. Male Warrior FoW looks so ugly...
One thing that's just boring, worn out, and makes me think "tool" is monks with FoW armor + chaos gloves.
Monks with shields just scream "noob".

Even with no points in the shield's attribute its +8 armor and +10 vs <damage type>.
Most overrated: I hate Dervishes with awful titles/accomplishments that think they are awesome.

I never understood casters with shields. If defense is the benefit over sacrificing energy and HSR and HCT, then you're not a particularly good caster to begin with.
And there is just no justification whatsoever for a monk with a shield.

This is stupid. Most of you here are throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and a few people are defending what they genuinely like.
"omg33 i teh haits fow armer" being tossed around is ridiculous. Do I understand that there are turds out there just buying it and dying it black to look cool? Yes. But on a few professions FoW armor looks great, and some people don't give a rip if you think they're awesome, they're gonna buy the armor they like.
Titles are the same way. Are there people that are just going to hammer out as many titles as possible to look cool? Absolutely. Are there people that actually want to display what they personally consider an in-game accomplishment? YES.
Criticizing what people like based on what you think is the epitome of thinking that YOU'RE 1337. "My opinion is true, and by extension all FoW armor and titles are teh gay." Get over yourself. I think Guild Wars is a wholly better balanced game than most as far as economy - statistically and skillfully, someone with barely enough cash to buy max armor and max weapons can hang with anyone. Whatever it takes to mark your accomplishments is what makes it role-playing. You are what you make yourself.

The most ugly combination to me is non mesmer Obsidian armor + Chaos gloves + ninja mask/blindfold.
Edit: see it it for yourself, it suits me

For me:
Armour - FoW.
Title - Norn.
Skin - Amethyst Aegis!
Accomplishment - None.

A number of posters may think Obsidian is fugly compared to the newer options, but at one time, it was the nicest armor available. To many of us, it still is. Over-rated? Only to those who EBay'd for it.
jack in the mask
I think that the male necro UW and both the Primeval monk armors are the worst things ingame.
I mean seriously wtf is with those? its just nasty

to those who talk about the FOW being the only option for covering up your ele...
There's always the Krytan jogging suit. All white, it looks nice with blue or orange, especially on Canthan eles.

Most overrated skins... my god, the Dragon Gauntlets and the Saurian Scythe have got to take this one.
I don't mind some of the EotN gauntlets, but its an absolute must that they go with the armor set. For example, monks with Chaos gauntlets and sleeveless armor = good. Warriors with Chaos gauntlets and FoW armor = fail.
So many people in this game need to learn a sense of stylistic subtlety. Whatever, I guess its mostly a matter of opinion.

To be honest, I really like the Monk FoW/Bandana/Chaos Glove combo. It's not bad looking, and if you like it, and can afford it, totally do it.
Most overrated skin: Crystalline Sword (Butt Ugly Sword imo, but hey, one man's junk is another man's sword)
Most overrated title: Legendary Survivor (it's just too easy to get, they should make it 13,375,000 exp tbh)
Most overrated armor: Elementalist Obsidian (Never really been a fan, not really to my liking)
Most overrated Accomplishment: PvE (yeah)

Skin: Tormented weapons - expensive, purple, and can't even be put in the HoM.
Title: Lightbringer - unimpressive and useless, unless you have a boner for farming in the Realm of Torment. This is coming from someone who maxed it. At least Sunspear yields some useful skills.
Armor: black monk FoW with chaos gloves. A hole in my monitor, flanked by white stripes? It must be someone with something to prove! Most other armor pieces can look good in certain situations, and at least express a modicum of personality.
Accomplishment: Hell, I don't know. Don't you achieve accomplishments for yourself? Most of the things I wanted to do turned out to be a good time. I haven't done anything yet in GW that made me say, "You know, that was nowhere near as great as people said it was. I feel like I wasted my time."
