Why the dumping prices for STRONG PvP sets as Ravager Set?

Hello!
I noticed that many (very good) PvP-armors are being sold for poor prices. Ravager body for 13k (medium price about 20), Ravager 2h sword 5k, gloves 5k+ and so on..

I can't understand this, as you pay like 100k AP for 5 boxes to get 1 Ravager Set part, which is neither super rare, nor very common, as it seems to be just by looking at the prices, like 5k for Ravager gloves.

Why are people giving away good quality stuff for dumping prices? There is already enough cheap stuff, like Bahara's Curse, etc. etc. Imho, Ravager Set and others, are waaay better than everything else, you can get for under 10k.. I mean, the Ravager Set is even better than some crafted stuff.. why then the price dumping?

    Most likely they want to move it quick.

    Because most people have by now realized that armor is craftable, jewellery not.

    most people are only concerned about the jewelry and 1-hand weapons for these sets so they can run 5 item PvP set and 5 item crafted set with 2 Kena or other monster set.

    I've not seen the jewellery in a better quality than blue, does anyone know if it's available in higher quality?

    I sold some ravager around those prices because I got two full sets all jewelry and body pieces and the greatsword very easily in ap bags. I was trying to just get one set for myself but got two.

    AP has been considered of very low worth on the market for a while now. There were a few updates where no good gear could be found for purchase with AP, so a lot of people have literally millions stockpiled. I think I'm sitting on over 4 million myself right now, and that's even after selling a full set of Akaviri motifs to someone and buying a full one for myself. On the other hand, I do a LOT of PvP, so I've probably got a larger stockpile than the average player. Either way, this is one of the first patches in a while where they've decided to put cool stuff back on the AP market (bless their hearts), so until people work through their stockpiles and the market readjusts it's probably still going to be going, on average, for a very low gold-to-AP exchange rate.

    This is what happens when they give us nothing useful to spend our AP on for over half a year. People accumulate millions of AP, and then the market is flooded with the same gear. Supply is way higher than demand.

    You are all right but if people start giving away every (good/very strong) PvP-armor to everybody and their grandmas, (instead of holding it back and selling it for what it's worth, imo 20k++), we will soon have a never-seen-before number of max-dmg SNIPERS in PvP with 4-5k+ weapon damage. I SAY many more than before...

    This means, that, even with the "-50%-dmg and heal"-malus, we'll see enormous damage numbers in PvP within the next 3-4 weeks and (what a surprise..) in favour of stamina-spec's. See Ravager set, Dreugh King Slayer set, Morag Tong, etc.. (nothing comparable for magicka)

    I'm scared of this! (I'll better not write my opinion about the itemization ERRORs..) Imo, we had enough people with max-dmg specs, more than enough!! Enough is enough B)

    We'll still have Radiant Destruction and Magicka Nightblade bombs to deal with on the magicka side, the latter of those being far more problematic than any sniper build. It's like balance except where one person gets to slaughter dozens while another person can take out a single target probably.

    Can anyone confirm or deny if there are cp160 purple jewellry of the ravager set? And also, robust ones?

    @Francescolg gear prices has little to do with the actual strengh of them, but more with the relation between demand and supply.

    Wow, have to say I'm pretty disappointed that the jewellery for the Ravager set can't be gotten in purple or yellow.

    exactly, I sell all my stuff around 20 - 100 gold under the price that the master merchant addon shows

    I would guess because there is a lot of it floating around or people are looking forming things and just selling everything else.
