imo its way to easy for ppl to ebay the cash to buy FoW armor SO increase the price or materials needed
increase the price of each peice to 1mill or up the amount of ecto/shard(this will stop the "casual" ebayer)
you might think im crazy but FoW armor use to be exclusive now you cant even go to place like piken without seeing a set
this shall bring many flames..i see it already, think before you post.
Make FoW armor more exspensive..

You make it sound as if you could make the 1 million gold needed for a FoW set by farming in Old Ascalon.
Getting 1 mil gold is NOT EASY. It still is exclusive.

Besides the warrior armor however i wouldn't recognize any FoW armor without taking a close look.
And come one, it's good for nothing! Everybody wearing FoW armor is a nerd in my opinion anyway

I will never get FOW armor nor am I even trying to and your suggestion to make it even more overpriced is one of the dumbest ideas ever.
This won't stop Ebayers, this will only encourage it even more. Idiot.
And sorry, if you've farmed one million in a week, you really need a life.

I have FoW armor and it makes me feel uber-leet and special. But now I've noticed that OTHER people have it to. What the hell is this travesty? How can this be? Why are other people allowed to have the leetest armor? Only *I* should have it. I'm not unique or special anymore if *anyone* can get it. So I insist that the price be made outrageous so that only I and the few others who already have it will be more special and better than everyone else.

Alright, so people buy gold. And you want the price to rise, so they buy more gold.
Do you sell gold?

By the way, nice flamebait thread.
EDIT:Also, check out the OP's post history. A lot of it is him bashing on "poor" people and bragging how rich he is. Pathetic.

And disagree, I feel if you jack the price up, it will cause people to buy MORE gold because some people have to have it and they not above ebay.
It was no longer "exclusive" when you could do targeted farming for specific drops (UW/Stormbows) for example (a very long time ago) before Anet had to mix things up.

i see it a different way because gold is like $50 or w/e increasing the cost of more desired items will stop the kiddies using their pocket money
btw to the rest of ya i dont care how rich/poor you are..i was after sensible comments and all you did was post elitist ass which so happens im not..my war still wears droks armor

Now that made me seriously LOL....most likely true...
In any case...prices are fine as they are, not everyone is able to buy FoW armor, it DOES actually cost over 1mill....not everyone can afford it.
Me having 2 sets of it...pfft...i couldnt care less if more ppl got them or not...i got them for the look, not to feel special or to show of the fact that i have more money then most ppl...
So just so I have said it, prices are fine as they are, and shouldnt be temperd with, if u want to keep bitching, plz do...not like its going to matter...

OK. I have FoW armor - on one of my 5 characters. (Does that make me rich?) I got it for my female Mesmer because I think it looks much better and more practical than the 1.5k & 15k enchanters (Victoria's Secret) "armor." And I farmed my butt off to earn it.
It's hard to raise enough cash & materials using in-game, legitimate means. Jacking up the price will only encourage E-Baying & wrongfully penalize those people who are willing to WORK for their high-end armor & stuff.
One huge reason why more people have FoW armor is because they've had the time(over a year now) to accumulate the wealth to afford it.

I got two full sets of FoW armor in 7 months + have made over 10 million platinum in the little amount of time i play each day. So no point in making it more expensive. There's plenty of ways to make money. Ppl just have to use their brains. When they do they can afford just about anything

i myself know ppl who ebayed their fissure and yes they were all wammos and school kids
i disagree with the fact its hard to raise the cash...back when the game was released it was hard now days with the increased drop rate money is free flowing (got my fissure when ecto was 8k per tho i farmed/traded all my ecto so my armor cost 60k)
as i see it raise the price of these desired items and this in turn lowers the amount of ebayers..i dont see anyone agree with me tho..oh well

wowowowow, you redefine my understanding of the word condescending, sir.
you're playing an mmo, 'nuff said, grow up, not everyone has the time to sit in LA, buy low from nubs and sell high to addicted collectors.

LMAO NEWS to you guys, most fow armour is ugly I mean compare luxon 15k for warrior and necromancer male to fows armour.
The rangers armour looks outdated, if anything it needs to be redone.

not by any means trying to flame you, just stating something. the devs have said gw is designed for the casual player, so if the casual player can get the nicely styled armor, awesome. if they increase the mats making it impossible for the casual player to acheive high end items, the defeats the initial goal.

Half agree with you there, it was rare at one point but now its not, making it more expensive wont get rid of the current sets everyone has, like with monk fissure, it cost half the price of a normal fissure set not long ago, now its back to normal its still the most common set as people got hold of it while it was cheap.
Ive been hoping for new high end sets of armor, perhaps more pricey and better looking than fissure.

Did I say I'm a casual player? No! I didn't! I have three accounts, yeah, but didn't pay for one. Two of 'em are pure storage.
I have fissure, sure, I have way too much gold, alright- but I like the fact that I can stop playing the game so intensely and still be able to maintain a semi-high amount of gold [through casual farming or whatever you choose] and not have to spend a million hours doing so or ever turn to ebay or other outside sources for gold income. And, I know you weren't implying it, but I didn't say you should get a life-- just that some people do have busy lives and lack the time to play the game as intensely and frequently as some of us here.

I agree something should be done to lessen the gazillions of people with Fissure armor. Making it more expensive is not the solution. Someone who sees fit to eBAY 1 million gold could just as easily eBAY10 million gold too.
The solution is to make the acquistion of Fissure armor become skill-based rather than eBAY-based or hardcore farming-based. Ie: you must complete the entire Underworld, Fissure of Woe, and maybe even all the Titans' quests to get Fissure armor.

out of all the rich ppl i know most only own 1-2 sets..why? because fow armor isnt an investment..it makes them look the part
maybe the introduction of "better" armor is better then raising the price

In that case, the original poster (you) has a good point.
I still think my suggestion and/or clarianaeneas's suggestion are better than the original suggestion though.

I farmed for 1 week straight and was able to afford my Fissure armor, it is pretty easy though, but still, that one week of farming was a pain, and enough imo, I definately don't wanna farm anymore. 
I think you're problem is the fact that people BUY their money for in-game money, there's not much you can do about it though, if people wanna waste money on in-game money you should just let them.
