Guild Wars 2

So in order to preview what armor I wanted I tried to go to the orders before I joined any of them… and the vendor had me locked out because I hadn’t joined – had to got o the PvP locker to see what I wanted.

And yes because skins are important to me I wanted to base my choice of this. Question I pose is this – once the Pact is formed and all the orders are working together to kill Zhaitan, why are they so stingy?

“Oh you’re helping us kill Zhaitan? Glad to be working alongside you…” That ever happen? And if it did would they really reject helping out a fellow member of the pact who needed gear? Locking us out of skins is mean – and if you truly care about the lore is simply makes no sense. All of the Orders would do anything to kill Zhaitan and work together in the end so shouldn’t we after a certain point be eligible to buy the other armors from the vendors?

I agree. I’d love to have access to equipment skins from other Orders once the Pact is formed.

The Pact is a shaky alliance at best. Plus, although the game mechanics have all gear at the same level equivalent. Story wise, they are giving you access to their stores of powerful magical equipment. And although in game you can buy it as many times as you want lore wise some of those items could be very rare or even unique artifacts.

Hmmm interesting. When I go to the vendors for the order specific armor they’re Weaponsmith and Amorsmith – not just vendor. It doesn’t feel like there are unlimited quantities at all as you say…

But the only uniqueness about them is that they feel to be made to order. Sure the Pact is shaky – will it fall apart in a future expansion perhaps and I can see getting to such a point in the story preventing you from buying future skins. But they still work together and as long as they do why are they so stingy? I’m up for a continued discussion on this, but don’t see where you can really give an angle to convince me there’s no way the other order’s skins shouldn’t be available for those at this point at this time.

Agreed as a COMMANDER of the pact they should let me into their HQ, hell they could have had their own initiation for the commander become an honorary member of their faction.

I do hope Anet will make Order equipment available to all. Even though I like another Order’s equipment I still wouldn’t choose that Order as story (or what little there is of it) and role playing are more important to me, but it would be even better if I don’t have to choose. XD

Oh they will let you into their headquater, they just won’T let you back to Fort Trinity. ^^

Yeah I seriously do not see why you can’t have access to all order armors as a pact commander.

I’ve made this suggestion in this suggestion forums here:
