Hi, it it takes 20-29 weeks to get ONE set of Legendary WVW armor if you play through the weekly chests for the squirmish tickets and each week takes about 15-19hours of gameplay to get. So 3 sets is at the very least 60 weeks of gameplay and then the ring is another few weeks. My statement of 2years was a little loose(but not far off- probably 1.5yrs) as once again you would have to play 60-87 weeks straight 15-19 hours per week just to purchase all 18 pieces. Plus the ring or (2) plus if you want the flasher version Mistforged Triumphant Heros armor, That cost even more tickets and time. So definably no one got wvw armor in 2 weeks unless there was a glitch(probably 2 weeks for or less for the new PVE set if you farmed the mats prior)..
The biggest take away I was getting at, is not the money or mats but the time it takes to get WVW armor is exponentially longer then the new PVE Obsidian armor, I just felt a little ripped off that's all.
