Why not just have it sold for a high price in Alliance Points like the Militant Ordinator and Akavari motifs?
420 Proofs - assuming no duplicates - just for a complete set of the armor. Sounds a little high to me...

HOWEVER, the pages you can obtain with this outfit style is quite limited ... only heavy armor style (no waist) and a limited number of weapon style pages: Maul, Sword & Shield, Staff, and Bow.
That's 320 Gladiator Proofs total (armor + weapon pages) without duplicates.
Bottom line: You'll be able to collect all the outfit pages sooner. BUT, you'll start getting style page duplicates sooner too.
I think I'm with the OP now
The Gladiator Proof cost is too high ... even if you can sell the duplicates in your local guild store.
I'd be OK with the current Proof cost if the Outfit Style had more detail and additional light/medium wearable options (like Akiviri and Militant Ordinator).

And I thought there is nothing worse than doing 50 quests for imperial city costume. It's more then a year to farm all pages assuming you get a few duplicates and log in almost every day to open a box at exactly 20-24h interval. The grind in this game become more and more intense...

which costume? siegmaster?
you cant buy it just in guild stores?
Thank you for posting this up to inform those of us who cannot PTS. This system just sounds so strange. If they want to make these "gladiator proofs" another type of currency, why aren't they just in our currency tab already?
Actually, wait... no. Forget I said that. They might put a limit on how many "gladiator proofs" you can have if they do that. Which would make this suckful situation even more suckful.
On the upside, I now know I need not bother doing any more PvP for the current event. I was doing a bit more to get AP for a future AP-based motif release, but if they're going this route, I'm not gonna bother. Not a fan of PvP in this game, and am going to hard pass on something that's this difficult to get.

PvP players (including myself) are sitting on millions of AP and hundreds of gladiator proofs already.
Why should the method of obtaining them matter??
To put it another way, what if ZOS asked for 5 mil AP per armor style page and 10 mil AP for weapon style page?
Because that's what you're gonna get with your idea ...

If your female character's chest isn't really flat, this armor will not hide their feminine shape. It also will not balloon their chest up to ridiculous proportions unless you have a really busty character, though. This was a concern of mine, as well, so I tested it out.
