Anet lower amount of shards/ecto needed to craft fow armor?
EAT U ALIVE
I have been hearing currently that ANET is saying that they might change the request for the shards/ecto to craft your armor at the forgemaster.. everyone knows that 45 ecto and 45 shards is way to much for just the chest piece lol. In a way Fow armor is kinda dumb and i can't believe anet wouldn't fix this problem.. I meen it doesn't even have better stats? If you couldn't lower the requirments can ANET atleast make the armor better than any other?
Mr. Matt
The fact that they don't even have better stats demonstrates two things:
1. You don't need it.
2. It is prestige armour and therefore supposed to be ridiculously expensive. Why would you show off armour that didn't cost a lot of money?
Sure, casual gamers probably won't get it. I am a casual gamer, and I can tell you now that I won't ever have that armour. But I don't care so much, because I know it's a prestige item. Just like I'll never get an AV-21 in SWG or whatever. Ridiculously priced items that don't really do anything special, they just show people that you're rolling around in cash.

Better stats on overpriced vanity items would completely ruin the idea that this game is/was (depending on your opinion, UAS, etc. please don't go there!) based on skill and not time spent playing it. If you like the looks, buy it, farm for it, as for me, I spend my farming days in a game where I can use the money

sit down grasshopper and i will explain. 
when every point of damage or defense counts even slightly more protection is an advantage.
better stats means it is NECESSARY to have not OPTIONAL in pvp.
and most people dont have the time to get that vanity item

For exactly the same reasons stated already. FoW armour is a prestige item.

as a casual player, I would love to have a set of this armor and don't see why it should only be available to the special snots who spend a few hours farming and get all the supplies they need.
And while we're at it Anet, drop the price it costs to craft each piece to.

I don't think it's needed to lower amount of materials needed for Fissure armor, I DO think however - that ecto prices do need to drop somewhat, maybe closer to shard prices. Casual players still won't be able to go out and buy it right away, but does somewhat help give other players with lives a better chance.

that is a contradiction as people with lives wont worry how long it takes (or even if) they get the top show off my wealth rolls royce armor.as for not getting to buy it right away i think you are getting the main idea
this stuff isnt for everybody.
will i ever have it? maybe by chapter 3 but then it will be the cheap stuff compared to the ruby / saphire flame armor

How about giving us more casual players an armor set that is strictly for us - with like maybe patches or a quilt-y shabby look to it, showing how we'll never (or at least for a longass time) afford Fissure.
Maybe put a 500 hours or less req on getting it - seeing how in Grotto last night, people were spouting off how long they've played, and one guy had over 2500 hours since starting.

i put in a suggestion along those lines.sort of shabby gentry or well worn but still trying to put on a decent show (as long as the stats match)
i would wear it and mix and match the dye colors to get as shabby a look as possible (cant he afford dye remover and do it right?)
it would be fun to win a most creatively shabby contest and hope some of next chapters appearance content will allow just that

"Hey wow I just spent so much money and time getting ectos and shards getting this FoW Armor. Took me months."
"Hey, I just started playing a few weeks ago, think my FoW armor looks good?"
"omg I can't believe he has the updated FoW armor i'm too poor to afford that sh*t"
"haha you noobs can't even afford this stuff?"
etc.

I have a 32" tube TV. I think manufacturers should drop the price of their flat panel HDTV's from $3,000+ because I just don't want to work harder to get one. Lets see I have a TV so the flat panel HDTV is not necessary. Any similarities? Do you think the manufacturers would listen?
I don't have FoW armor and don't need it.

what stdnox said in above post kinda destroys your comment here
since when do manufacturers have tvs that cost say... 30 dollars compared to 3000 for a time until people start buying them again? I would agree with all of you saying that this armor is for prestige and all that and should cost that muc, except that ANET already messed it up by having updates like that where people with no such work input into getting fow armor suddeny get it for like 10k.

But no really its not required to have, so only the people that have the time, the money and the lack of a real life deserve it.

It is like Versace - is it better than most of the cloths? NO. But hell it is Versace - when most people see tha label they will know you have one. See? It is prestige cloth. Like D&G and so on.

EternalTempest
The only way I will sign this if anet makes even more obsure good looking armor that's harder to get.
And here is why. Right now they fixed it so that only the true questers can get it after long sought after and many hours and rightfully deserve it. The problem with this is in the past with targeted farming and ebay there is a lot of people running around with Fow armor that was easy as pie.
If you make a "new" armor and base it off cutomized items that you can't buy, sell trade, etc. to replace the elite status of FOW, make Fow easier to get since there is something that is truley "unique" and can kneel out of respect at what you had to do to get that new armor.
As it stands now, a new player to guild wars that doesn't do ebay who get's Fow Armor has the right to show it off, it's very hard to get.

Disagreeing with the statement above? or....?
Kaizume
I disagree to lowering the armor. It is NOT a neccesity, go with droknars armor. If you want to look *better*, then spend more time farming for it.
Things are meant to be exclusive. If they do this, might as well have storm bows, chaos axes, fellblades and crystalline swords as collectors items too.

someone who has a suit of Ecto armor, how about posting a picture of it?

Look, just because you didn't spend enough time farming, or just because you don't have enough money to buy gold on ebay (lolz....) doesn't mean that Anet has to serve up to your ass.
Not everyone needs fissure armor. Hell, nobody does. So, stop bitching that you can't get it.
If you can find a legitimate arguement about why it is absolutely necessary, please post in this thread, and PM me. I wish to find out your insane reasoning.

Woah, this thread was dead. Go look for FoW armor pics elsewhere.
