No Higher Level Armor in Lion's Arch

My guild and I finished Gates of Kryta last night hoping to finally buy some better armor, but when I got there, the armor crafter had the same level armor as those in Yak's Bend, with the exception of the added Aeromancer's set. I thought Lion's Arch was supposed to offer the next higher set of armor?

I thought the same. It's really ridiculous that I have to go from 6th level to 15th level in the same ratty armor LOL.

Yeah that really sucks, I just got there today. I thought my eyes were going bad when the new armor had the exact same stats as my old armor from yaks bend.

Where do you get the next upgrade of armour after LA?

Well, I found slightly better armor in Beetletun, but I didn't buy it. It was the same armor as everywhere else, except the armor rating was 9 higher. I have a bunch of black and silver dye I am saving for my uber armor but seems I'll have to wait some more. The armor page from this site says the best armor is in Ventari's Refuge. I have no idea where that is or how much further I have to go. If someone knows, please enlighten me.
