Walking into Kamadan D1 is like walking into a rave party.

A disproportionate number of people wear chaos gloves. Your hands glow people, give it a rest.

But honestly, next time you're in district one of Kamadan count how many people are wearing them, it's like a fashion trend in real life only ugly.

Well, more ugly.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Kamadan is home to the black-dyed-obsidian-chaos-ninja-failures.

I don't like it either but I only go to Spamadan if necessary.

It's sort of like having Divine Aura without spending $400 or more.

Also, given a choice between everyone with glowy hands and everyone in black FoW, I'll take the glowy hands. At least it encourages the use of colored dye.

Of course, then you have the worst of all worlds, the Ebay Uniform: black FoW, chaos gloves, ninja mask or sunglasses. On half the people in any given town. Blargh.

Yes, it is quite annoying. No one goes for what looks good, just what is most expensive.

For some classes, the best looking armour is actually non-elite, in my opinion, or pieces from multiple sets.

I agree.

For some reason, people in GW LOVE glowie stuff. ALL of the super rare weapons have some sort of glowy/light animiation. All the tonics that "people" want in the game are glowy super monsters of DOOM (ie, look at all the bitching about this month's giant head).

I wish GW's population wasn't obsessed with crappy looking lighting effects. Then maybe a.net would spend more time designing unique looking items and armor, rather then thinking "how can I take this, and add spikes/animation/fireballs (sin armor).

shineys are nice... I for one love my chaos gloves...

Thing is, people will dislike others showing of regardless of which item it is they are showing off...

If people like their black FoW, with ninja mask, chaos gloves or destroyer gloves and specs, it's their choice... You might hate it, I'll probably dislike the look, but if they are happy with it, let them be ^^ I only have to look at them for a short period of time (same dist or explorable) whereas they have to look at their characters all the time...

Just my 2 cents anyway

Although i do not have chaos gloves(dont like them)

It is down to the guys taste..so what if its crp. its the guys taste,

We all differ in that respect.l............ some like certain armours irrespective of cost.

As there is no Best.......... only personal taste

Dont come down on guys who like them

It's got nothing to do with taste or what someone likes - people only have them because other people have them, and if lots of people have them then they must be the best, so more people get them.

If people only got what they think looked good, do you think most characters would still be dressed them same?

A rave?

There is no trance, techno, or dance music.

There is no ecstacy.

There is no DJ.

I call you out on this "rave" claim...

I will give you this: Kamadan is gross.

I always like to count the number of W/Mo's with obsidian armor and chaos gloves. God, they look so hideous. Anyways i usually come out with a number like 4 to 6. Doesn't count if they are not W/Mo.

I really like the way chaos gloves look. Sure some people need them to make their e-peen bigger, but it doesn't mean ALL people are like that.

Nothing, really.

Personally I don't have anything against chaos gloves, they're *alright*, but seeing them on half the population in Kamadan is overdoing it.

/agree. Not EVERYONE has black fow etc, etc... Some people really do like them. I certainly like some higher priced items. Besides, I happen to love Male ele FoW and female mes FoW, and chaos gloves. But it's not all about FoW armor, cuz some of it really does suck (male mes wtflol?!). But then again, so does most 1k or 15k armors. If you think your male elite canthan mes armor is the bees knees, then I think you have terrible taste. People are going to always disagree about armor and style and w/e, but seriously who cares? If you want to spend 105-120ecto + shards on your FoW, go ahead. I'm not gonna bitch lol. I can't force you not to buy it and neither can anyone else.

And maybe people really like the glowiness of items. Gives you something to look at besides your female chars' breasts. Yeah you know who you are.

And as for the rave...I'm gonna have to agree w/Rahja on this one. Guild Wars needs to implement some ecstasy in this game if you really wanna rave lol.

you may not like it, doesn't mean that person doesn't like them and only got them for e-peen.i for one have black dyed elite judge and guess what, i actually like that, i dont have chaos gloves but if i can afford them id prbably get one in either red or blue because it would, in my opinion, look good on that armor.i do agree a fair number of people buy them for the e-peen doesn't mean everyone does though.

I think Chaos Gloves look good when you have a certain type of armor piece.

But hey, it's all about opinion, really.

Here's an idea, make a new set of gloves that are twice the price of chaos gauntlets, that way, everyone will want to have them as the new status symbol. But here's the kicker, give them the same skin as your prof's starter set.

Both sides win, because we don't have to be blinded by obnoxious crap everytime we zone into a major city, and because they got to drop obscene amounts of ectos on something completely unworth their time and effort.

No. I like FoW and people may show it off. I find the chaos gloves ugly and not because they'd would be showing off, but plain and simple because it's ugly.

If you want others to respect your opinion you should start by respecting theirs. You do not show that respect by saying their opinion on chaos gloves is really just some sort of envy.

To be honest, if I could afford Chaos Gloves, I'd buy them.

But there are more beneficial things to get with money first, such as titles and stuff that can do something in my HoM.

As far as them being overrated, that seems like a matter of perception. I'd say some people buy the gloves because they look cool, but there are some who buy the gloves either because they think people who where them are cool or that other people say that the gloves are cool.

Well i'm not exactly one to bash people for buying expensive useless stuff, that's purely cosmetic, but i can tell you i have never wasted my cash on chaos gloves, or obsidian armour. I've bought a good friend of mine peices to his obsidian armour, only because he was obsessed with it, but i would never wear it myself. I like to sport my vibrant pink asuran monk armour, and back in the day, my 15k (blue+green) luxon monk armour .

Ok, so you don't like chaos gloves, that's great, you're entitled to an opinion. I like them, doesn't mean I'm going to go and make a thread about it. This really doesn't deserve a thread.
