Okay so me and a buddy got our toons decked out in armor. I had cloth he had leather... The stuff we had on wasn't just ranking stuff, but stuff that took lots of resources to create.

Point is my axe was still rocking his head, and his axe mine... it was like the armor did nothing. What is the point of wasting time and effort on crafting a set of armor and it doesn't even help you in battle. I just assume now to continue running around naked like everyone else.
