Unable to craft anything in PvP
After your PvP skins have been unlocked, they will be removed from your PvP gear locker, and you will have account-wide access to them through the Wardrobe tab in your Hero Panel. As the Wardrobe replaces the gear locker, PvP crafting materials will be removed from the game, so be sure to craft anything you want before the April 15 update.
From the dev post
I’d sure love to craft some PvP gear and items, but I’ve already spent all my Glory buying Mystery coffers and level up tomes and whatnot before the Glory-removing patch hit, now I can’t even afford any of the Gear Tokens from the rank vendors.
Could we get confirmation that the Rank Vendors will sell the Gear/Consumable/Arcane Converter for coins before the 4/15 patch hits so we that have earned our PvP crafting mats can actually put them to use. Thanks.
Apologies if this has already been answered but I searched and found nothing thus far.
You won’t get a confirmation of pvp stuff purchasable with gold because it isn’t going to happen. I have sympathy for a lot of the issues associated with this transition; this is not one of them. You had warning that glory and the vendors would be gone back in February. Rather than budget your glory, like others did to prevent this issue, you spent it all on random stuff. Sorry man, but this issue is entirely your own choice. You chose to not spend it on crafting mats. I understand that choice. I chose to spend mine on these crafting items (and consequently didn’t end up with many tomes or mystery coffers like you did). You made your choice. This one is on you.

The flaw in your unsympathetic argument is that they only stated GLORY would be phased out. They did not state until today that all pvp crafting materials and tokens would be phased out as well and no longer available. Anyone with half a brain would have assumed that they would move from glory to a coin-based system while still keeping pvp crafting materials and reward chests. The whole tone of their news posts was that they were moving to a more universal reward system regardless of what mode you prefer to play, thereby implying a shift to coin from glory. Not a removal of all pvp crafting/rewards and their associated items, because the wardrobe had not been announced for months after glory was stated to be on the way out. It’s a massive miscommunication and bad timing issue on their part.

They told us that the vendors would be gone.
At that time we will also be removing all existing random reward chests from PvP. This means that all rank reward vendors will be removed and we will no longer be rewarding bonus chests for winning Solo and Team Arena matches.
Since they stated that the reward chests would be gone, I have no idea why “anyone would … have assumed that they would move from glory to a coin-based system while still keeping pvp crafting materials and reward chests. " There was no way the chests were moving since they explicitly stated that they were going to be removed. Relying on the assumption that we’d get crafting stuff for gold was crazy given the hard axe they were doing to everything.

Read the even older linked post in its entirety while remembering that nobody had any idea when this was released that the wardrobe was incoming. All we knew was that PvE and PvP skins would be usable game-wide. Nobody would have assumed it to be an unlock system requiring only one skin, as the game has always required multiple skins for multiple characters.
“In the December 10th update, you’ll be able to earn gold in PvP as a match reward. As an extension of that, you’ll also be able to spend glory and gold to purchase account-bound Tomes of Knowledge, which grant a level each and will allow you to level up any of your characters. The Tome of Knowledge will be found on a new glory vendor that has several items available for purchase with both glory and gold.”
“Existing PvP skins will still have value with upcoming changes, so it benefits you greatly to continue filling out your collection.”
“Once this new system is in place, glory will be retired as a currency, and gold will be the standard currency across the game. All existing glory vendors will be removed at this time. We will give advance warning when this is coming so you can spend all of your existing glory before that happens.”
Anyone reading that article in its entirety taking note of the quotes above would assume that PvP skins would still be craftable and glory vendors would be replaced with coin vendors. In the December 10th update, you’ll be able to earn gold in PvP as a match reward. Glory will be retired as a currency, and gold will be the standard currency across the game. How does that imply PvP crafting materials and skins will no longer be available in the future so buy them now? It doesn’t. It implies that glory will be shifting to coin, and the fact that they encouraged us to keep making PvP skins gave absolutely no notion that all PvP crafting materials would at some point be pulled from the game. It could have simply been seen as a head start.
