Possible Armor packs in the CS?

Ok I think this has been thought of but never posted. I was just on another game and saw in their Item Shop complete armor sets. These sets they had were near some of the best you could get in the game but only available through the Item shop. These were not vanity sets but actual useable armor. From waht I gathered they rotated the sets out so that each was available for a limited time for each class with new sets coming out each rotation. Plus they had some that could be worn from level 1 all the way to max level (although the stats on those did not scale as well as they could have).
Maybe something similiar could be implemented in RoM offering some real killer armor that could compete with the best ingame. But to amke it so the best drops ingame will still be wanted the item shop gear could have no set skills or even limited set bonus's.

this sounds remarkably like "legacy items" from WoW...

Well I did play WoW util the Cataclysm fiasco. I also had the legacy armor on 2 of my toons there. But truthfully it never crossed my mind when suggesting this. But Silent you are kinda right in something like that is what I am suggesting.

Game is already pay to win... this would just make it worse.

Agreed. Don't sell power in the item shop, please!

Not asking for power in the item shop, just something that could scale ingame like the legacy armor in WoW does. That armor was only good up to lvl 60 though which kinda sucked, but I suggest for RoM the armor scale all the way to the level cap whatever it may be. Having some armor like this in the CS would make it easier for some new players to gain levels without worry, just make it so that it cannot be unbound and sold in the AH.

Making the game more pay-to-win than it already is...fail.

And yes, selling usable gear in the cash shop is selling power.

Damn do people not know how to READ a topic BEFORE POSTING?????? This is not some free for all gear grab. What I am suggesting is gear that can scale with your character. If it is done like WoW you first have to get one of your characters to the current max level before you can buy the gear. And if it is locked to your account then it cannot be gifted or sold in the AH at all. Geez some people wouldn't know a good idea if it bit them on their tailbone and said HI.

If it was statted armor, it wouldn't work in the rom 3 class playing environment. Too many combinations for a one size fits all set. I mean if it was a single class system would be great, a mage set is a mage set, but in rom a mage set could mean M/s/p/d/r/k/w/wd and the potential new classes, and even if they did offer a set optimized for each class combo, who's to say it's going to work with your play style?

The appeal of the current system is that you can build the armor to fit your play style.

I primarily play as P/s or M/p, (depends on mood) but don't play the same as any other P/s or M/p I've partied with. I'm normally solo, or in small parties very seldom in large groups with dedicated roles assigned to each player. I heal, DPS, and very often tank so I need very different stats than a "real healer" S/p that runs with full groups and doesn't get toe to toe with bosses.

I read just fine, thanks. But your nerdrage when people don't like your idea is rather amusing.

Selling gear in the CS is the absolute worst move this game could make. Period. And I don't believe I said anything about the AH--locked to the account or not, it's not a good idea.

Lol you are saying to sell gear that is almost as good as Instance gear in the item shop. That is by definition selling power in the item shop. The game is already pay to win, but what you're suggesting would just make it more so. Also, quit comparing this game to WoW. This is NOT WoW. If you want WoW then, here's an idea, go play WoW.
