sPVP Dungeon Gear Conversion to PVE
They aren’t necessarily cheap but the structure doesn’t match PvE. Arah set is cheaper than AC and the most expensive set is TA. The vendor is going to be going away since it is currently meant to allow people to use up their glory which is going to be discontinued.
Prestige with dungeon armors disappeared as soon as people started selling runs. Not that I have anything against selling them but saying that they have any prestige behind them is a rather moot point.
And besides people still need to play sPvP in order to have glory points to purchase those sets.
Dungeon armor was never prestigious.

This!
I know a bunch of people who farmed their sets back when only bosses droped tokens and people would enter the dungeon, kill the first boss and leave and do the same thing untill they get the amount they needed.

I heard that the change where you can obtain extremely cheap dungeon armor in sPVP and then bring it into the PVE realm was coming down the line?
Is this true? What about all of us players who put so many hours into hard dungeons like Arah just to get an armor set? In the future sPVPers will just be able to have the same prestigious armor skins as we do for a fraction of the time/cost?
Please tell me this is not going to happen.
It works all the way around too. I got a few Feathers and Wings of Dwayna by winning tourneys, and those skins are around 350g (can’t remember exactly) in PvE.
Same thing with some lowbie PvE skins that can be obtainable only by reaching high PvP ranks.
Anyways, I think they’ll totally rework the way you get skins in PvP with the new “updated reward system”. But they haven’t explained much about it.

Since day 1 cof and arah were bugged, farmed, exploited,…
there is no prestige in any single piece of armor or weapon in this game… you can wallet almost the entire game.
Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.
Arah armor costs 15k honor. I’m fairly certain you can probably get a whole dungeon set of Arah armor and then some in the amount of time it takes to grind 15k honor.
EDIT: For accuracy.

Oops I had been away for finals, just saw the armor boxes.
The thing is 15k glory + 6 gold is nothing, but people could get Arah sets from tournament chests before. So anyone who played enough sPvP/tPvP will probably spend the glory leveling all their lvl 2 characters instead of buying sets they already have.
It’s only unfair because hotjoin farmers can get it too, not having played a single tournament/run Arah a single time.
But whatever, really, Arenanet loves rewarding braindead farmers.
