Q:

“Due to fierce financial competition, one of the armor and weapons merchants in each staging area has declared bankruptcy and moved on. Their goods have been claimed by the remaining merchants.” ~June 3, Patch Notes

It appears that the former ‘Armor Trader’ who sold PVT exotics for solely badges of honor has now been re-named ‘Armor Master.’

The former ‘Armor Master,’ who sold 6 stat-combos of exotics for coin plus badges, no longer exists, and the goods she sold are no longer available in WvW.

Does anyone know if this claimed goods the former ‘Armor Master’ sold are still available from another merchant? If so, who/where?

If not, I’m sorely disappointed that I did not buy all of my zerker exotics yesterday, as I had been saving up and am just hitting 80 today with nearly 2000 badges. It’d be useful to know of such axing of vendors in advance.

Nothing got axed. Just read the quote you posted again.

I can’t find those goods on the other merchants. I’ve talked to all of the vendors I can find in the Borderlands, Eternal Battlegrounds, and EotM. Have these goods appeared to you on the remaining merchants?

The Vendor who is selling exotic armor is called “Armor Master [Armorsmith]”.
I can find him in all borders, citadel and EB.
I think the armor vendor who sold lvl 70 armor got removed but that isn’t a loss.

While that vendor does sell exotic armor, it does not sell Knight’s, Carrion, Cleric’s, Berserker’s, or Rabid pieces like http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Armor_Master . Instead it seems to be http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Armor_Trader . I’d like to find the items in the first link.

I’m fine if they’re saying that the vendor’s prices were too low to compete and that they want to consolidate vendors to clean up the clutter, but five exotic gear types now appear unavailable in WvW, forcing us to go back to PvE to get them. This is a relapse from the direction the game had been heading, where WvW was viable on its own.

Hopefully the new build coming up in 5 minutes handles this.

My Bad… Apparently those sets only show to 80s. This thread can be deleted.

No I think you’re right. I can’t find the Armoror that was selling the PVT Invaders Armor for just badges and something (Karma maybe?).

Now you have to pay some amount of gold for all armor. It didn’t used to be that way. Dang and I was thinking of buying some last week.

So was this intentional? There’s no way to get simple Invaders PVT without a gold cost?
