Aside from being a case of \\\"ThisTroper,\\\" the veterancy studs [[SquarePegRoundTrope don\\\'t fit what the trope is about]]. I don\\\'t know if we have a trope for stuff that denotes experience or veterancy. Tropes about military rank wouldn\\\'t fit, I think, because rank doesn\\\'t \\\'\\\'always\\\'\\\' mean the soldier with the higher rank has more experience; in the U.S. military \\\"Mustang\\\" is used to refer to officers who started as enlisted men, rather than a \\\"thoroughbred\\\" who entered the armed forces as an officer.
-->*** Well... black is certainly the most expensive dye in \\\'\\\'GuildWars\\\'\\\', but it\\\'s cost is less than the difference between normal max armor and most prestige armors, so what black armor indicates ranges from \\\"I may not have saved enough for prestige armor, but I do have some gold\\\" to \\\"I laugh at the pitiful in-game economy!\\\" depending on which set it is.
This was a rambling piece of {{natter}} in response to a Guild Wars example. The troper who added it even agrees that black is the most expensive dye in the game right off the bat (which was the whole point of the Guild Wars example--black dye signifies having monetary clout), but then rambles about how the armor it\\\'s applied to changes the meaning.
It doesn\\\'t. \\\'\\\'Yes\\\'\\\', putting the most expensive paint job on the most expensive gear would certainly mean the guy has a lot of monetary clout, but that\\\'s beyond the purpose of this trope.
