Cultural Armor
…they’re very attractive skins, so that’s how they justify the prices. For a couple races, cultural armor is the only armor that doesn’t clip with their unique features. So it is, in fact, worth it to some people to buy it, but never for the stats. They really should just come as skins, tbh.

You’re paying for the “prestige” and skin

Why is the cost for Tier 3 Cultural Armor so high?? By the time a character reaches the level where this armor is “useable” and “useful”, that character (or it’s other minions) is already at a level where armor with better stats, higher rarity, and better defense is available at less than a TENTH of the cost of this kitten!!! The Tier 1 and 2 items are at least reasonable for the cost involved and are (usually) better than anything else obtainable————FOR THE LEVEL they are designed for. Yes, getting the achievement is nice, but NOT at ~750 gold——————NO achievement is worth THAT expense!!!
Can we start to see some “reality” in costing?
I think you are mistaking value with prestige. Value is draconic armor that every heavy armor class can buy/craft. Prestige is Cultural Armor just to say you have it and are seen in it, I only have Sylvari and Asuran tier 3 left before I get the “Emperor” title. Value you boldly claim how little you paid for such a quality item; prestige is boldly claiming how much you paid for an item, quality or not.
Why do you think they have the “Golden” title? Bank 200 gold and you get golden as an option. They probably should bring that amount up some, maybe 500.
There are greatsword skins (fused) that are over 350 gold for a single weapon. In that light, cultural armor is a relative bargain at 121 gold for a set.
