But it all depends on the player gets their entertainment. Others play for pvp, others for pve, and others just like to show off their equips

its not hard to get 15k armor, the only "farming" i do is for greens in SF, and i mostly do that to get greens for myself, ones i dont need i sell cheap to people who need help in ascalon city, and the ones that sell for good money i get some cash for those. yet i have many sets of 15k for each of my 3 pve chars. you dont have to farm to make alot of money in this game, just pick up EVERYTHING thats dropped for you
unless your scrolled all the way up to first person view, you have to look at your character, why not make them more pleasing to the eye?

yea i know this is an old post, but i came across it and no one said anything about this:
Have you never played a MMORPG before? Have you never heard of WOW, EQ, L2, etc etc etc?!?!?! Half of the reason you play these games is so you can stand back and admire what you have that you can claim as YOURS. This goes with looks as half of it. I can't imagine how many hours me and my L2 buddies have argued about the best looking armor for elven male fighters. It's how half of the game is played for ppl. Why do people have dyed armor? cuz it looks good. And if you are willing to spend the money, in most cases FoW looks better than any other possible armor out there......so dont bitch about how MMORPGs are played, you just made yourself look like a ultra noob

1. You are using swords...(unless you already have a guy with an axe on your team)
2. You said suldering.
3. You meant sundering...which is still crap.
4. You want a fortitude mod, which you should want an armor mod or something else better.

Ok I have a second question.
"Why can't people take a honest insightful question to ask opinions?"
I was asking a question geez...

It sounded more to me that you simply posted it to bash "n00bs" wearing 15K or FoW armor.
I bash people that talk about their 15K or FoW armor as if it somehow made them "better" than people without. That doesn't mean buying the armor in itself is "bad" - only the attitudes people display while wearing it.
But your question was more trolling than "insightful".

Also, what else are they to spend money on? Money has very little value in this. Other then armor and vanity skined weapons, what else am I to spend my 100k on? It isn't like RL where people go into credit debt wearing A&F clothes instead of paying their credit card bills on time. There is nothing else to do with money.

LifeInfusion
Because
-it is the most noticeable (it actually shows in town, UNLIKE WEAPONS).
-it doesn't have a highly risky fluctuating price (UNLIKE WEAPONS)
-it is easier to get into groups (for some reason)
-people will know you have been to granite citadel/marhan's grotto
-you only need one set (UNLIKE WEAPONS)
-They aren't nerfed (at least since release, exception of Lietenant's Helm)

LifeInfusion thats exactly the reason I like 15k and FoW. I had a really hard time getting my ele a group for FoW runs but as soon as I got him Fissure armour I kept getting invites.
Some people who wear Fissure armour act as if they are better then anyone else. I only preferd the look af it yet its a fact that if you wear Fissure people think your good.
Strange but it only applies to PvE.
If you wear FoW into PvP everyone seems to target you, they probally think your a target caller.
But all in all people buy it to stand out, and when you already have all the items you want and have 1 mil lying around its the persons choice to buy what ever they like no matter what you might say or think.

FoW armor is overrated IMO. The 15k stuff looks much better.

I see the logic behind 15k armour (highest AL + looks) but not behind Forge.
Firstly, the Ranger Forge armour is pure crap. It looks worse than the pre-searing ranger armour.
Secondly, aside from the Necro and Monk armours, all of them look either generic or as ugly as sin.
And it costs an extra bajillion gold.

Ranger FoW is awesome. Better than that half naked druids look .

<- FoW armor
Why did I get it? Because it looks good! Do I really need any more reason?
What really amuses me are the people who say "why buy FoW armor when you better can spend the money on weapons". That's really funny. They can't understand why I prefer spending my money making my character look cool (but doesn't make her any stronger in the game) and themselves, they'd spend money on expensive weapons which don't make their characters any stronger either. Weapons are completely meaningless in GW. A blank weapon is 90% as good as the best "perfect" weapon you can get and a collector item is 99% as good. I have never bought an item from another player. To me, it's the ultimate waste of money in GW. Funnily enough, there is no new thread every couple of days basically stating that everyone buying weapons must be clueless, isn't it?
If you like to look cool: buy FoW armor
If you like to brag with perfect weapons: buy weapons
If you don't care about either: make a PvP char.
PS: Yes, it's correct that not every FoW armor looks better than their 15k counterparts. I'd never swap my 15k aeromancer's set for an ele FoW, not even if you'd give me the 105 Ecto for free.

I have FoW armor on my female Elementalist bucause it doesn't make her look like a tramp, lol.
Besides, i have perfect weapons on my characters (multiple sets each) and 300k+ left over, what else am I supposed to buy?

Sir Bertan
k wtf is going on!! Instead of "answering" the guys question you guys are talking about what armo looks best!! To answer this it shouldn't take so long. I think that when you have money you can do wut ever you want with it but this guy doesn't answer and this thing is so fricking long!! Seriously, i don't see a problem with droks armor but 15k does look nicer in some cases. But just drop the damn thing!!!
Sir Bertan
oh ya, and why are you called people with 15k armor noobs!?!?!?!??! Huh, if anyones the noob id say you because you can buy the 15k or fow and go to uw or fow and make enough to get that noob sword you want!!
Kook~NBK~
It's all a matter of personal preference. If you like the look of a particular armor better than another, go for it! I don't hear people dissing others for the choices they make in character looks (hair, face, etc.), so why pester them about what they're wearing?
I've got 15k Glads armor on my Female Warrior, except the Hauberk (1.5k). Why? because I like the look of it better. (If the 1.5K knight's armor was any good, she'd still be wearing that.
I'm now saving up (read: EARNING gold) for FoW Armor for my Lady Mesmer. Why? Because female FoW Mesmer armor looks so much better than the "Victoria's Secret" enchanter's armor availiable at the 1.5K & 15k levels.
(There's just something non-sensical about going to battle dressed in a nightie!)
My Monk is wearing 15k Saintly armor - I don't care how much energy you get with tats, can't stand the look of them My ranger - 1.5k Druid's armor and won't be updating that.
But these are MY characters, they are the ones that I'm playing and look at all the time. What you do with YOUR characters is YOUR business. If what your character looks like bugs me, I'll just rotate the camera so you're not showing on the screen!!! If you like the look of collector's armor and it doesn't detract from you're playing style, go for it, I say!

Diminishing marginal utility explains why people make outlandish purchases. I used to have collector's armor and weapons for my monk. Now i have multiple sets of 15K armor and most green items on that same monk. Why? I used to only have 20K, now I'm worth nearly 100 times that.

I want FoW for my monk because Tats look like ass. Case closed.

In response to the thread title:
Why not?
Seriously. Money in Guild Wars is worthless. After playing for a little while you're bound to have mostly all the equipment you want and a storage full of money. What the hell else are you going to spend that money on if not on how your character will look?

money is meant to be spent on something.
people want to have the best things.
people with lots of money buy "the good life".
in GW:
"the good life" = FOW, 15k armor, perfect modded, uber, godly, rarest weapons/shields
Why do People "waste" Money on 15k or FoW?
Because they want to and they can.

well that's your opinion rendered invalid pretty damn fast ^^
also 15k armour look better than plain old droks, and FoW armour shits on everything (though I use 15k wanderers handwraps and FoW the rest)

I've spend nearly 2 months of my spare time farming/missioning/buying/selling to get me a ranger's FOW armor. Finally got it, and I'm still enjoying every second of it. Not only because other peeps congratulate me on my accomplishment, but because I know I worked damn hard for it, without having to resort to ebay-ing or scamming.
So in my opinion, I havent wasted my money
, but you are free to feel otherwise

I finally got my Citadel tattoo’s and dyed them black and thought ‘God I Look Good’
Same day helped a guildie with the ROF mission and was told by a complete stranger that I looked like a ‘Zebra’
Still glad I have then though, and yes, I agree it does feel like an achievement.

Well,
getting FoW Armour requires either luck or a heavy investment of time (or real world money) and dedication. You never need it, you only want it. It doesn't require skill except for playing the role right, which is not hard since the AI environment is easily abused (the actual point of gold accumulation). So it's not really suprising seeing "Noobs" in FoW-Armour. It's no sign of an overall experience, but more of a farming-proofed competence. I've seen many fail when the actual situation requires more than protective spirit on yourself.
Most pityful moments are those when people in TOA advertise with their armour to get into a team.

To me buying 15k armor or FoW armor were accomplishments. I worked to get it.. and by working to get the gold to be able to buy the armor, nice weapons dropped for me as well. So it all came together

Why do you wear pants instead of a mini skirt and a bra?
Because you look better in pants.
(Other way around if your a gal)
I only read the title of the thread, correct me if I said something toally off topic.

Because it is our fake money to "waste" any way we wish, and even with multiple accounts the storage amount for gold is very low.
