Based on what?

What evidence exist in the game the presents the assumptions that the design is to have it be an easily affordable amount with in the first 2 months of launch date?

The fact that the first 2 tiers are affordable. You could never buy tier 2 before 80 either, and tier 2 is level 60? gear.

i like the prices for it the way it is, it’s prestige gear, no different from 15k armour in GW1 albeit it could atleast be Exotic quality, but everyone getting this is transmuting it onto exotics anyhow.

It’s prestige gear with awful stats that you should never use. Vigil heavy armor has better stats and costs 15x less.

Only reason to ever buy the cultural armor is to transmute it.

I am working towards this set, but I find it a bit insulting that the Vigil gear costs a total of 11g and has better stats than the cultural armor that costs 119g.
