This thread is dumb, no armor set is overated in this game, its all up to personal tastes.
if you really wanted to talk about overated, youd talk about the stats instead.
Overrated Armor Thread

I agree with Tyla....any FOW armor....its now on every character to the point of ho hum...and on top of that its the UGHLISSSST armor in the game (no I dont have any of it, never have wanted any of it, and see no reason to get something that I wouldnt even let my ughlist old maid aunt wear!).
any armor dyed black---ok so you got black dye...so do I...that doesnt impress me at all seeing as I get one to drop just about every month.
ANY of the eye armors that are reskins -----that really is over rated! (which means most of the eye armors....).

I understand most of the FoW hate but Paragon Obsidian is one of my favorites in the entire game. The others are fugly though.
Elite Gladiator Warrior is awful and is far more common than FoW, so I think that's my number one hatred.

I'd like Paragon Obsi. more if it had some knee caps. That or a different skirt to go with it.

Mask of the Mo Zing, Bandanas, most FoW armors, most Vabbian armors, most EotN armors, and any Eotn Gloves except Chaos, although that's also pretty close to stupid.
In addition, any armor dyed purely black or white.

I believe the Classic FoW Warrior to be overrated to me, however only in my opinion. Overrated yes, cool none the less though.
As said by some people already, no armor set is overrated, unless you personally believe it to be, thus overrated only to yourself.
Tormented shields look cool to me, and have a unique style to it. Never once has anyone told me i looked overrated ingame, but rather, praised it with "that looks cool, i want one, where do you get it, etc.
I have also found most FoW flamers here, are also unable to afford it, and simply flame over jealousy (just my observations, some may agree / disagree).
Tell you what, you go about in your 1k armour, and i'll go about in my armour, now we're both happy
.
Edit: Hmm, off topic, but i am seeing more and more accounts with similar avatars as mine, copy-cats

I'd say most FoW armors are overrated. I used to play quite frequently on my monk, but eversince I got her FoW I don't play her anymore... I wanted to know what it's like to own FoW, but its just extremely overrated... Either way, I'm happy with the new HoM changes so I don't have to buy my warrior that hideous FoW armor :P
Robbert Monga
overrated just means it is widely used as cool but in fact just big and flashy crap with poor design... only thing that makes it cool is price/rarety
as such most special type gloves look awful on many armor sets... they break body armor at elbow and dont fill up the gap.
of FOW armors i like ele and necro armors (both make and female) - they look very distinct and well designed... ranger and mesmer FOWs are not bad, but nothing special... the rest are total waste of gold (especially assasin FOW)
most assasin elite armors are utter crap... monument armor is not bad, but then againm its just a reuse of seitung/canthan model, and canthan skirt is way sexier
most male paragon armors = fail
except maybe for vabbian one
warriors (especially female) probably have it best. They got by far most distinct and well designed armors and weapons (just please dont paint it balck.. its terrible). Ofcourse they have a fair bit of clones from good old non elite kurzic armor, but still...
However latest female warrior trend kinda bothers me... Vabbian skirt + primeval shoes = wtf? I label it lame.

v Found that on urban dictionary and made me lol.
overrated
A word which recently has been used liberally as a way of discrediting something without having to give a proper justification, most often when someone finds they have a disliking for a popular phenomenom and is resentful of those who embrace it. Often used by anti-trendies.
(Something loved by many) is completely overrated.

As for my list:
Mesmer female FoW: I've said it a thousand times before, and I always will, I simply cannot see what's so good about it and it's slutty tight skirt. And considering the cost, it doesn't look special at all, something like elite kurzick or Primeval (for females) are more worthy of my eyeballs.
Monk FoW (only in black): Don't get me wrong, I actually like this armour, but black just ruins it completely. Such a shame everyone goes for black.
Warrior Primeval: Because it's the horrid combination of Sonic, Kenpachi, and a zombie. It's popularity is totally unbelievable.
ALF71BE
Any spectacles on a warrior. They couldn't look more retard.

I wouldn't say there is any overrated armour it is the way those go out and get in such a hurry.The reason why Monk FoW get dumped on his because they get it in a matter of 1 month time frame or sooner.Warriors don't even have that much in the way of FoW armour as the most popular set up is 15K Galds with charrhide boots and halmet or vabbian.I do agree with primeevil especially when male Warriors don't take thier halmets off in town.
I want my set of FoW for my Monk but the way things are going it may not happen.
I don't agree you can get this by just playing the game this inlcudes any 15k armour.

-Alot of the EotN headpeices look out of place to me, like 'spectacles' on a War, etc.
-FoW in general, though there are some half-decent ones.
-Kurz Rit armors, both elite and non-elite
-Most Ancient armors
Theres a lot more, but I can't think of them atm

Anything dyed black. Come on people, try something more creative then just "lolol dye it black cuz im rich." The mo zing or "ninja" mask can look good, but the way most people have it, it's bad.

So I'm curious since you seem to disagree with my way of judging - how exactly does something become overrated if it's not basically a popularity/looks contest?

Male FoW War Chest = samurai chest
Rangere FoW Boots (dyed white) = Nike Shoes
Monks in FoW, Chaos Gloves, and Mo zing mask = Stormtroopers of GW
Ele FoW = Power Rangers
Necro FoW = 3..2.1 Spike
Mesmer Female Fow = Slutty (Hooker = with Kurz 1.5k leggs)
Rit FoW = Teapots!!!
Sin Fow Dyed white = Space Ninja!!
Chaos Gloves = FTW I HATE THE GAP!!!!!!! overlay it with the armor
Necro Primeval = Fish??? who..the..****...made...this.
Dwarven Ranger = Legolas

I actually like/own/owned/wish to buy some of these so I'm kind of off topic by saying what's popular instead of overrated, but..
Eles: Elite Kurzick for males (guilty), Elite Luxon for females
Rits: Ancient dyed black for both genders (guilty), but it emphasises the jewelery so I can understand why people tend to dye it black.
Rangers: Norn, both genders
Paragons: Vabbian (was guilty) and FoW.
Mesmers: Elite Enchanter's dyed black for males (guilty), and Elite Kurzick and FoW for females
Warriors: Elite glads or Vabbian for females, Primeval for males
Dervish: Primeval in black
Monks: I can't help but mention the FoW/chaos gloves/blindfold mix... However I can definitely understand why people who play female monks would buy EotN headgear due to a lot of scalp designs being hidden by hairstyles. Also, 1k Kurzick for females.
Necros: Elite Luxon, both genders. Elite Cabal for females - dye matching hair colour (was guilty)
Assassins: Elite Luxon on males, Vabbian on females
Eles: Elite Kurzick for males (guilty), Elite Luxon for females
Rits: Ancient dyed black for both genders (guilty), but it emphasises the jewelery so I can understand why people tend to dye it black.

Male war FoW+chaos Gloves - WTF is with that gap? lololol. Just looks stupid to have gloves end in the middle of the forearm and chest piece to start above the elbow.
Black Monk FoW - It could be good to, y'know, have some originality and try other colours.

Anyway asuran armor for the ranger is overrated. Its just elite drakescale but with a grind to get. And just dyeing armor black is overrated seriously it takes out the detail use different color...
Mesmer in Need
If you buy armor and dye it black to look rich and "leet", you're doing it wrong. Buy armor for yourself, not for others. Compliments on that armor are just icing on the cake.
RedStar
Overated = a lot of talk, for something that really doesn't deserve it. Not all popular things are overrated, but FoW armor is xD.
Also not everyone has the same tastes when it comes to armor and dyes.

Im a rit and I bought 15k kurzick and I can agree that it really doesn't look that good. But my FoW does.

As been pointed out again, there's no overrated armor types, because it's depend on each players.
A lot of ppl here saying Obsidian, but out there, there are people that just like the art, not thinking about the elite status it may give (not that elite nowadays anyway -_-; )
If this thread is about giving an opinion, without sort of labeling to all community that one particular armor must be avoided (trust me a lot of people out there care about what ppl think of their armors, thus creating a bad stereotype) then I will also contribute ^^
In my opinion exactly same as many people have stated, (which come as a surprise for me, cause other ppl think so too ) monk obsidian + chaos glove + the mask.. omg, I even have that image patented in my mind when I think of a male monk armor ^^;
Other is.. hmm.. black dyed mesmer Obsidian.. not so creative IMO and it look...bland >.< and picking up from old memory, gladiator chest + charr hide head-gear warrior in 2005 this is a bad combo and everyfreakingwhere... >.>
PS: I am sleepy, some of the sentences may not makes sense.. -_-; probably tmrw wake up and wtf-ing myself of what I've wrote today ^^

Male dervish FoW and Norn armor makes me chuckle. They are like female tank tops without the headgear.
Male warrior primeval and monumental armor is just plain ugly... the spikes look too cheesy.
The only armors I find practical and beautiful are probably the mesmer's and maybe elite templar of the warrior's.

if you LIKE the art, the armor was worth it no matter what cost it had, 1k or 1000k, all the same since it is virtual money, and getting it is just a part of the game. Now if i was worth grind or no (yes some people have to grind for 1k sets :s ), just depends how much you like it, thats all.
