Guild Wars 2

I believe the Sylvari Firstborn Armors are excellent looking, but for those prices the stats definitely do not match. The Tier 3 are by far the best, but the stats just aren’t worth that much. There are probably more, like me, who would purchase the armor if it weren’t so expensive or the stats were altered accordingly.

That’s the same for all the cultural armors. You don’t get them for the stats (which are only rare) but for the looks, then you use transmutation crystals to apply them to the gear you want. I’d rather if they sold them as skins instead of gear, though.

THIS.
They are used more as skins rather then the stats and i do agree that they should have been sold (at a lower cost) as skins
