Different skins for karma vendor vs. dungeons?
I got a full set of 80 rares for 2-3 gold tops on the TP.
Don’t let people scare you into thinking you need exotics.

High lvl map completion doesn’t reward lvl 80 exotics, and the karma gear sets have some of the worst stat combinations in the game. No P/V/T is not good, we don’t need you to sit there and pretend you are tanking while contributing half of what someone geared for DPS is doing.
That said, you can sell the exotics for decent gold and spend the resulting ~20g from leveling and map completion on a set of good exotics on the TP.
Anyway, why would you want endgame gear if you aren’t going to do endgame activities? If you’re just farting around in the open world, just buy some rares and call it good.

I don’t really know, I’m pretty much a noob just coming back to the game. I guess I assumed that exotics have better looking skins and a bit better stats. Something to strive for.

Why do people always forget about karma venders

After you hit 80, the “better looking” becomes subjective. My ranger is wearing an exotic item skinned with a rare item simply because I like the look of the rare best.
As for stats- there is a difference between exotics and rares… but rares will get you by for now. I wouldn’t suggest getting comfy with them if you plan to do WvW, as you will eventually want to get full exotics, but they are close enough that you could make do for quite a while. That said, though, if they release a full set of Ascended gear you will be 2 tiers behind the current. That could start to hurt you greatly in PvP after a while and even some PvE (depending on your class, getting registered as a participant in killing a mob can become difficult if you have poor gear. Sometimes you just don’t do enough damage before it dies to even get xp for the kill!)

Thing is if your not doing dungeons that gear is just fine
