what
I wear transitional heraldic armor, great helmet, khergit guard boots, gauntlets & a weapon AND STEADILY MAKE MONEY IN IT.
I'm a tin can 24/7 in my opinion. I don't understand these threads. What, you want armor even better than transitional, 24/7? If I put on just medium armor I get money poured on top of me by the bucket full.
And this has little to do about luck, WE ALL PAY % UPKEEP TOO. If you want to wear better gear, play better and pull your team harder for victory -- get the victory multipliers. You get victory multipliers based on skill and teamwork, not luck.
