Guild Wars 2

After taking a look at the steps needed to get the collection done, it is hard to believe that anybody will actually acquire the armor except as a prestige. If a person think they can afk and swipe for the armor, the second tier’s requirement actually make that a bit tricky (in-depth knowledge of Cairn, provisioner tokens/timegated content) and a few others to say a few. The cost of the ‘gifts’ involved with the item are definitely prohibitive as well.

What would be the WvW equivalent? Achieving rank 5k? Yakslapper AND Defender of the Yak? I agree that other modes should have their own version of the armor (eventually), but it should be the costliest it can be for what it is.
Maybe a gift of conflict which is comprised of 250 gifts of battle.

Not everyone will have the pve armor because the cost of each piece might make them blanche. But then, if someone rocks the full set, more power to them. The armor is for the 1% of 1% of 1%. Later on, (maybe next xpac), you will see versions for WvW, but if feedback is so negative as it is, then it will probably be scrapped for good and remain a curiosity at best in the future.
