I'm shocked at how many people don't know this. Please guys. When u are in nooby gear, sure sitting in the dirt and getting ur cheap armor all dusty is perfectly fine. But if u have 5* gear with sweet UV's, you CANNOT sit in the dirt and get it all dusty and messy. Sit in the grass, sit on the steps of the fountain, sit on jelly king, etc etc. but do NOT sit in the dirt. It's beneath (literally even).
1337's don't sit in the dirt

I laugh at grime
My Snarbolax armour creates an aura of shadow, it destroys any tiny bit of dirt it comes into contact with when ever I sit.

Clean gear is the mark of an inexperienced knight.
As any weathered, experienced knight of the Spiral Order would tell you, having pristine-looking gear is no more than a mark of shame. It is only those who are still new and enthralled at the prospect of having such wonderful gear that concern themselves over the state of their equipment. Indeed, many are the knights who consider such a statement an insult, and would gladly throw their shield down and challenge you to a duel for the offense. For armor is not there to look nice, but to act as the last line of defense between a knight and the jaws of a vicious Snarbolax, the paralyzing rays of giant gun puppies, or the flaming scepter of a fearsome lord.
To say that a knight has armor free of dust and grime is to say that the knight has not fought valiantly within the Clockworks, and to say that they are merely the dregs that hang behind the shields of others. No knight storms the ashen halls of the great Firestorm Citadel without the fiery soot suffusing the air clinging to their armor. No knight wades through the the knee-deep crowd of corpses before them without the slime of dissolved lichens trailing after them.
A knight with shiny clean armor has done none of those things. It is clear from the way they walk, from the way they carefully maneuver themselves away from anything that may sully their brand-new suits. But true Vanguards know that it is a futile cause, that it is only when lowly Recruits learn to let go of such petty details and set their sights on conquering the Clockworks that they can bring glory to the Spiral Order.

But i like to keep damages to a minimal if i can help it.
I rather stand than sit =p

Even greater is the knight who can do all those things unscathed and untarnished. Whose armour still shines like curdled moonlight. Coming out the other side of hell looking like you've been beaten like a rug is something worth merit; you're still alive after all. Coming out the other side untouched, however, makes you a legend.
Judging anything, such as a fellow knight, by appearance is foolish at best and tips your hand as to how much you still have to learn.
As for the topic:
Ponchos were made for getting dusty.
And bloody.

Creed of the lost knights
I'll wear my armor with pride, the cuts, scrapes, Dents, gaps, and rips... are my story of endurance, victory, and honor.
The blood, sweat and tears are my baptismal.

Kupoo said it better than I ever could.
Be that as it may, you can be sure that each and every legend has a battered and stained suit somewhere in their arsenal. As a wise man once said: "If you're not dying, you're not learning." There's always new challenges out there for those who look, as well as new armor to dirty up.
If you are concerned about getting a little bit of town dirt on your Skolver, can I trust you to be there in the thick of things when you need to be?

I dunno about Doc And Benji and co., but I'm still sat picking the Gremlin fur off of my shield, so sittin' in the dirt isn't much to me.

Well then...
I think my name alone implies that I am not one for staying pristine...
I think my Heavenly Iron Armor has seen much better days, but then again, my Fractured Mask of Seerus used to be in much better condition.
TL;DR: I'll sit in the dirt as I please.

Let's see here. My vog's been : set on fire, frozen, blunted, covered with slime, electrecuted, exploded, slammed by a huge mace, bitten, turned into swiss chese by polypups and jellies, cursed... *gose down a long list of things*.. Its got me thro hell and high water, its blunted, has skorchmarks, even tho the wings on it help put out the fire faster, and its paint is barely there... So I think it can handle a little dirt.
