You get shoulders from crates, but masks... also on this note... WHY are shoulders droppable from the bosses? Its already hard enough to get a kill on one, make it masks only.

If by 'dead' you mean lotsa vampires, then yes I suppose so...
Short and sweet, having that stuff locked behind pvp walls where people can just randomly kill you is ***.

Historically, ZOS seemed to have a policy of PvP gear never being bound. You could always buy Deadly or Powerful Assault from guild vendors if you didn't want to PvP. And PvP players had a way to make gold (which does not drop in PvP the way it does in PvE) by selling it to non-PvP players.
So the IC monster masks did seem to break a long standard that applied to PvP gear.
Somewhat mitigated by the IC monster sets being heavily PvP-focused in a way that makes them all but useless in PvE (though Nunatek might have been interesting in PvE if there was no critical damage cap). Also, you can get them from trophy vault treasure chests and the keys to trophy vaults are a lot easier to get now that they are generic and drop everywhere, as opposed to only dropping from mobs in the same district as that exact trophy vault.
I've checked and yes, they do show up eventually. You just can't predict when they are available.Do these Monster Sets not also show up on the Golden Vendor?

Agree 100% on the trade aspect of PVP gear. The fragments were tradable up until recently though, so the monster helms could technically still fall under that tradable category. Now however since the fragments are no longer tradeable they are not as accessible, however, the fragments are easily farmed from WGT or ICP and getting to the vaults is not too difficult.
