@OP ~ You haven't given a good reason to raise prices or implement a new system to acquire the armour. All you've provided is some rhetoric about ebayers and that Fow armour is for bragging rights.

1. Provide some plausible reasoning behind your request.

2. Provide a realistic solution that all players could achieve not just those who play a certain style.

If you can't do that then you have really only created a flame thread to entice flames (you said so in your first post). I'm wondering if you don't just want attention.

Or you could make FoW/UW harder reducing the input of mats needed. Make it less ugly which would up the demand and increase the cost of ecto/shards.

Or even better we should nerf farming, salvage kits should cost at least 1k each and skills should be 5k, all missions should cost 1k to access and then and then and then....

First two were semi-serious, last two-three was me getting carried away .

I just posted that in another thread earlier. Learn how to use the term 'troll' before tossing it around. Most people who have posted in this thread with a flame are the true ugly beasts who show their nasty sides just for fun.

Malice? Well, now he's just trying to defend himself. He prepared himself for flames everywhere, and everyone is criticizing him for doing so.

I honestly wouldn't care whether the prices of the FoW armor rises or not. There are some good points and some bad points.

Good: Well, if the set was hard-earned, then it would show who is a true money making machine. Perhaps the price of the armor should fluctuate with the price of Ectoplasm ^_^

..maybe not..

The Bad: Well, the gold farming industry would still get a bit hit. Though I doubt that there will be a rise in the prices, even if there were, the rise would not be dramatic enough to stop the ebayers. If the purchaser of the gold really wanted the armor, what's to stop him from putting out, say, another 20 dollars?

I can see a few people stop their purchasing frenzies and play the game with normal, 'ugly', 1.5k armor.

When I played the game, I rarely ever noticed anyone with such expensive armors. They are barely recognizable among the masses of the public, with their flashy dyed armor pieces. I've noticed the glowing from 'Drinking from the Chalice of Corruption' more often than Fissure armor pieces even when two characters are standing by each other.

To me, this topic is a real meh.

15K each peice = 60k/75k for warrior

thats all the cash you need to carry...the rest is materials

think before you post

More materials = More money

i.e. Ectoplasm.

Oh no, it costs more now!

True common sense ftw.

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.
The more expensive you make it the more you help the EBAYERS out actually because they'll make more money selling the materials/gold to acquire the stuff

This doesn't help anybody really

You do know that there will be some people who will stop buying completely, right? Good.

I think IDing 5000 rare items on one character will probably be rarer. If you want to be exclusive, there is definately something you could shoot for in the meantime.

Big Deal as well, I'm sure that would gather a crowd. Well, if that is your intention; make FoW armour more exclusive and thus drawing attention to yourself.

It sure would make you stand out, though!

Like I said earlier you were really vague. Inferring that 1mil is gold isn't that crazy.

I like like Racthoh's post above. He summed it up and pretty diplomatically I might add.

I honestly have no idea why the OP hasn't gotten his ass banned by now for trolling (new troll maybe?), but for the love of something you happen to love, mods PLEASE CLOSE THIS POINTLESS FLAME-RIDDEN IDIOTIC THREAD.

Yours obviously one of these guys. The people who are "higher in the food chain" are people with actual skill. Foir instance a player on a top 10 guild team, not mindless slaves with a daily farm routine.

You wanna be exclusive? Find some of this skill, or play iway for 9999.92 hours and get rank 12. You can feel real special as people gather around as you flash your gigantic phoenix.

I demand lock-ban for OP, this thread and pretty much everybody involved.
And btw good luck trying reason this to Anet. Might be hard they're not total morons you know?
On the other hand I see another like-minded thread on the horizon. Hint: it's about people with Rank13-p3n1s and inferiority complex.

FoW armor looks like trash compared to factions armor. But is shows no life status - mega farmer or gold buyer... dunno which is worse.
