Q:
Flamekissed Set Refund?
A:
Yes, you will have to submit a ticket and they will email you with instructions. But if you do that now, they will likely just wait until it has been reworked so you can see if you like the redesign. So wait for that, if you don’t like it, submit a ticket requesting a refund.

Call me crazy, but the Flamekissed armor was the only one of the three I actually liked. I can see why it was pulled, being so much like the Human Cultural Armor, but why didn’t they pull the Heavy and Medium ones as well? I thought the whole point of those armors was to look like existing armor with fire aesthetics.
The catch is that, while the original Medium armor was uncommon, and the original Heavy armor downright basic, the Flamekissed armor was made out of t3 Human Cultural armor, one of the most expensive armor sets in the game. Not only was that look no longer exclusive to humans (the Cultural aspect of it,) but a lot of people who paid 119g for it weren’t exactly thrilled that a version of the same armor, but enhanced with particle effects, was in the gem store for ~65g, nearly half of what they paid for the exclusive version.
So the problem wasn’t that it was a reused armor set (although some people did complain about that,) but that, unlike the other two, it significantly undercut a much more expensive, race-exclusive set. That’s why Flamekissed is getting change while the other two are staying the same.
Hope that clears up the situation! Whether changing it is the right call or not, I leave to countless other discussions on the subject.
I see, thanks Redenaz
