Uhh. In the long run everyone will be hoarding armors, including you. Sure, you are frustrated for not having the starter skills of imported characters, but in a month or two it will fade. Or the complainers leave. Both ways, things will normalize. But just because some people can start making the armors now doesn't mean noone will EVER need armor again. You bought a pant, that means you'll NEVER buy one again? Armor gets damaged, sometimes destroyed, sometimes decayed on corpses, also new players who come later on will also need to buy armor. On IN1 half the shard was gm smith, and people still been buying armors, even 4 years in to the shard's lifetime. Since there aren't any powerscrolls here, everyone has the same chance to reach the same 100% skill limit sooner or later and it's not like the current "vets" with thier transferred characters will form mobs to find and murder every single "newbie" character trying to max out skills.

Well the way I see it is that those who can craft the high level armors are going to be selling tham as soon as possible. Those high level armors are probably not going to be used in pvp or even out hunting much, if at all. I see them as mostly being used for tourneys. They really dont break too fast if that is all you use them for. They also wont be lost if you get killed in pvp becuase you wont wear them for that. I dont know about other people but I most of the time just pick up some random armor, iron plate or other "low end" arrmors or what I find on others bodies. I dont plan on buying much armor, and neither do most of the people pvping I would expect, except for the couple sets they want for tourneys and then when those finally break. I see the easy profits happening from the first few rounds of high end armor sets being bought and then the profit will go down from there untill the server closes. Thats just my opinion though.
