So I have a question if anyone has figured it out yet, or Anet can explain.
On the Skirmish vendor, for tier 2 armor there is ascended and exotic Triumphant Hero armor. Both named the same and both costing the same tickets and wvw mats, the ascended has marks and gold as extra.

Can they both be used to unlock tier 3? Or only the ascended version? It’s not made clear but I really don’t see a point for the exotic version of tier 2 if not, since tier 1 is also exotic.
They are both used to unlock the next tier of armor.
The Exotic gear is there in case you don’t have the crafting skills needed to make the Grandmaster’s marks, or don’t want to spare the cash to get materials for the marks.
