Nope. Have to be eligible to equip the glamor for the glamor to show.

It will actually show a message when you try to glamour it that it won't appear if your pvp rank is too low.

2.35 is supposed to have some adjustments to the PvP gear so that it is more viable in i80 Frontlines.

That includes any glamours you might have.

So yeah - they should take the rank lock off -it's pointless.

Maybe if they multiple the cost of the gear 10 times so it is not handed out.
Also, PvP gear is still the best gear in wolves den.

Works like glamouring GC gear.

I'd assume the people saying "No it's fine" have not actually looked at just how much of a grind rank 40 pvp is. It's Ludicrous I tell you, Ludicrous! The grind for the points is enough. You can grind the top tier glamour fodder for like 3 different classes by the time you're actually able to wear it.

I don't know about you guys, but between hunts, novus and the pvp grind, there really isn't much I can "Please look forward to" that is in the near future. All this stuff is like 2+ months of non-stop boring grinds.

If you don't like PvP, don't buy PvP gear. There is enough gear ingame that you can get without PvP grind.

I like the look of that gear, but PvP is boring and takes ages. If only I could get it today with no effort. I know! I'll cry on the OF.

Your request is wrong on too many levels. God forbid you have to participate in content to see a reward.

Takes about 250 matches of frontlines if you win all the time, about 300ish if you're in the middle 2nd and third.

Suck it up. It's better than the 5k you originally needed from wolves den.

here's the google doc detailing the xp needed for each lvl and how many matches per WD vs FL.

This is an era of MMORPGs where it's expected to have stuff handed to you and 'working for anything' is deemed old school/archaic design.

They said numerous times that they will change the stats on PvP gear so it's not "subpar" in FL. Might I add that everything with piety, accuracy and parry has the same subpar level as morale on PvP gear? Check your party members, they always have at least a few items with at least one of these stats.

Im fine with rank resets when people change GC. The latest trend is to bandwagon to the winning GC of a particular data center.

Another thing important to people who actually do PvP: I don't want newcomers to have access to i100 PvP gear within a week. I'd meet them in Wolves' Den to find out they actually have no clue about their abilities to put up a basic fight. PvE already has this phenomenon going: people in i105 + gear due to hunts who can't beat subpar content.

This is just another thread that shows people want everything and want it now. God forbid they have to actually do stuff to get it.
