the reason they haven't added armor/weapon into the game is because it's hard to balance that type of gear around a PVP (RVR) centric game. On top of that if you make player crafter armor good it leaves out the rare drops, if you make it weaker then no-one will craft.
Good move on their part

"What we’re thinking about doing is rotating in cities, in and out. In the RvR, so let’s say in the content expansion another city pairing comes up. So the old cities get turned off to RvR. It’s not going to be there as a focus for that. Players can focus on whatever the current pairing is, and then we rotate in another pairing. When we rotate the cities out it gives us time to go back and make changes to them. To learn from out mistakes, we can say we thought this scenario was great it isn’t, we thought this design was great for the stuff in the city and it wasn’t. So we can take it out of production and put a new city in or update the city and put it back in when a new city pairing comes in. So I think for the long term health for this game I think that is critical. I think it is absolutely critical. I am very happy about this decision. I know it is hard for people to believe, but if you just think about it. Especially for the people who played DAOC, think about the issues in that game, or any game, that has RvR or PvP or something similar, getting people to focus on something can be a challenge. This forces them to focus."
Did anyone else get this laughable email from FC? I find it very sad they had to send these emails out after the very first month . The survey was not short, and they even asked if you updated your computer for the game.....
