Getting your money back out of 15k armor...
Relnor
Well first off I'll start by saying how much I love this game. I was so excited when I finally saved up enough money to buy a set of 15k armor for my warrior. At the time, I didn't understand all of the different bonuses there were on each set of armor...this led me to buy a full set of 15k Ascelon armor because I like how it looked. While it is one of the coolest looking sets in the game, I now know what "non-stacking" means. It means that no one will have me in their party because I'm "a n00b" for not buying Gladiators. I now have a full set of worthless armor that cost me 75k. I will probably never be able to earn that much money again. What I propose, is that 15k armor crafters could accept peices of other 15k armor insted of the 15k in gold. Here is an example. I am now enlightened to the worthlessness of my 15k Ascelon. So I decide to trade it in. I take it to the 15k armor crafter. I trade my 15k Ascelon Boots + the materials needed and recieve 15k Gladiators Boots. It would cover the cost...
I hope something can be done so that I can get my money back from the 15k Ascelon...

keep your armor for little longer. Anet might give us new armor storage . Keep your head up you may make 75k agin. I have about 500k

I don't think the exchange rate should be THAT high, but maybe 5k for a 15k armor wouldn't be too bad.

Here's my problem with this idea. It's as if someone walked into Saks or Barneys and bought four/five different pieces (shoes! a hat, gloves, et cetera) to construct one entire outfit and wanting to return the shoes or cashmere-lined gloves or whatever that suddenly goes out of style after a few weeks of wear-and-tear. Would Saks let that person return the item? No. Would Barneys let the person obtain "store credit" to buy a different pair of shoes or gloves? No. (Of course, this analogy fails to hold up because you can't test to see how the armor set will look on your character before wasting virtual money on it...)
Armor should not matter when getting a group. You're happy with how it looks, that's what counts. If a group has issues with the choice you made, look for a group that isn't full of sheep ("zOGM gladiator's tAOTlly FOR TEH WINAR, u iZ teh nubzor 4 using ascalon!!!111") or use the henchmen instead.

It would actually make sense if the armor trader at least would pay you the merchant trade-in value for the crafting materials that you used to make the armor in the first place.

Too bad that the looks of the armor aren't one thing and it's bonuses/abilites are a mod you can add on. For instance if you like the look of knights but prefer the bonus of gald, you buy the knight's armor than equip it with the glad mods (one for each piece).
Nevin
I'd say 7.5k per each piece of 15k armor. 10k if its dyed black.
This is with the 50% rule.

I think a simple buff to the underappreciated armors will fix it, if only Anet realizes this.

They should fix the stacking to per piece. That'll fix all the wammo glad clone noobcakes.
Kidney Licker
I'd be inclined to keep the armour until at least Factions comes out. In one of the numerous threads about upcoming changes there was mention of fixing something that is currently global but not meant to be. As to whether this means fixing the Gladiators and Knight/Ascalon boot armour combo, who knows, but with a new Chapter on the way and possible numerous changes it might be best to wait and see.
If you need money try farming for greens over at Sorrows Furnace. The green market may not be what it was but if you get a decent item it'll be more than what you could get doing other things.

I dissagree, if you are a big enough sucker to buy 15K you should at least do your research.

I don't think they should give us any money back for armor, especially 15k armor. If you want to be competitive, you can buy any Droks armor or get any collector's weapon for a minimal cost.
If you want to look funky, then save up for another set of 15K, it's not impossible to earn that kinda cash (one way is to try the old Orozar SF runs and sell the greens you get).
15K armor is there to be earned, not easily obtained.

...there's 15K armour?
Diablo???
Anet has stated already they have no intentions of altering (or as we call it "fixing") the non-stacking bonus of ascalon/knights armor. These bonus were not meant to stack, it promotes players to mix and match armors. The gladiator clones didn't arise because they look good, but just because the glad mix yield a better overall armor attribute. "Fixing" the stacking will only eliminate the gladiators, but not the cloning... wammos will just find another better mix and clone that.

I've always thought that since the 15k sets are purely an aesthetic thing, I go for the set or armor mix that pleases my eye the most.
DSey
I have a serious problem with anyone who judges another player for the armour and weapons he/she wears and wields. To hell with players who think you are a 'noob' for wearing 15 Ascalon. Don't even bother partying with them. To hell with players who call every warrior with Gladiator armour a 'wammo glad clone noobcake'. They're not better than the people judging you for your Ascalon armour.
Ado
I wonder why there even is a full set of knights/ascalon armor when the pieces dont even stack with eachother.
And the discription also isn't right, cause if you put 1 piece of ascalon armor on you, it does give you recieved damage -2 all the time, nomatter on which part of your body you are attacked. So 1 piece of ascalon still stacks on non-ascalon armor pieces.
I thought this was changed after the update but it still works. I've tested that with going first with 1 piece of ascalon and than without.

This is the first time ever I have heard someone not being accepted to a party due to armor. (not including the ele with fire eye advertising himself as air spiker)
Relnor
Its just an idea and ovbiously needs to be tweeked, but the main point is that for almost every other item in the game (green items, gold/rare items, rare swords, ect.) you can get all/most of your money back except for armor. There is absoultly no way of receiving money from armor other than the few hundred gold a merchant will give you.
Cjlr
Well, 15k Ascalon armour looks cool enough that it makes up by far for the energy differential.
Gladiator's armour is a necessary evil. Performance-wise, it's the best, but it's just so damn ugly...

Zylo Candar
Ok this isn't 15k ascalon my W/N is wearing it's the stuff from ascalon but i'm wearing a full set why?
Well i know it said non stacking but i thought it meant with other dmg lowering mods seeing my helmet is +1 hammer mastery and +1 hammer mastery again from a rune
But ascalon armour looks awesome i think when i get to 15k armour i'll take 1 piece from every set of armour so i get a all round bonus but i want to know which way wil look best because atm lvl 11 warrior i think i look best
every other warrior i see is wearing ringmail which just look wrong or the gladiators which well looks more like shiny plastic
Now that i know it doesnt stack i'll still keep this full set till kryta then mix armour if i think it wil be helpful but the spikes on the should just look too cool
I'm using a hammer i bought it cheap but it's dmg is 19-35 so for my lvl yeah the defence from ascalon is nice
I don't follow what most peopel think why? because why eb jsut like everybody else in the game and be the normal tank everybody wants? When you can be yourself your own playstyle i mean i solo with henchmen players just annoy me sometimes.
Anyway i've talked too much good luck.

Well it doesn't take long saving up 75k again just start farming charr hides alot selling the fur for 200 - 220 depending on supply and demand.
Another nice way is doing some uw runs not that the greens are worthy but you get some nice drops there of money and items usually there are golds in some of the chests that can be worth something.

75k (+ materials) is nothing mate NOTHING!
get fissure instead they all look the same anyways

Relnor
But to me and other players like me, 75k is a lot. There is no way I'll ever get the 1-2 mil for FoW...
Amok
That's what I thought when I was fairly new to the game, but after playing about 1300 hours since beta, 1 mill isn't that much.
Just keep playing and enjoying the game, if you play long enough you will be able to afford most of the stuff you want. The expensive stuff is there to be earnt.

The funny thing is that most people want what they don't have, and once they have it they want something else. I have a set of dragons and ascalon armor, but I guess it was a waste of money since I wear my desert collector armor with the ascalon helm most of the time.
Ultimately it's about what you like and NOT what others tell you to like or have. If you buy into another persons way of thinking then your playing their game and not your own. Be your own individual and do what you think is best, you'll be happier in the long run.

Yeah man, don't listen to what the cookie cutters say, you have an armor that practically no one else has, wear it proud.
