I just got my first character to Drok and bought the plate armor, to my dissapointment plate armor seems to not be available to PVP made characters. I was wondering if this is ever going to be changed or if i am going to have to find a good pvp build and get them all the way to drok for plate armor. well thanks.

start new character -> gain 3 levels in pre in 15 minutes -> go to post-sear -> get rushed to beacons in 15 minutes -> get someone to run you to droknar.

entire process would take you 35 minutes tops.

Platemail and PvP Wyvern armor are statistically identical.

Would you like anet to add obsidian (fissure of woe) armors and all the available 15k armor sets to the selections for PvP characters?

How about also adding fellblades, crystal sword, magmas and shadow shields to the selections for PvP characters?

It's not like Platemail is attractive/fancy.

Tell it to the original poster, Derk Pryde. Apparently, platemail is more attractive to him than the Wyvern armor set provided to pvp characters.

Maybe he just likes the variety. Comparing it with 15k or FoW armor is a little extreme. I agree with you to a point, and I think Wyvern dyed green looks a hell of a lot better, but responding by asking him if he wanted those items as well is a little extreme.

If he wants different and/or fancy looks, then he has to grind the PvE world. If, for whatever irradical reason, anet decides to satisfy his demand by adding platemail set to pvp characters, there is nothing stopping him from asking for a fellblade instead of a short sword for pvp characters.

Pretty soon, we'll have as much variety in PvP characters as the PvE ones, except it is easier to add perfect mods to pvp items by unlocking. This should make pvers really happy.
