For me it's the 1.19 dated gear nightmare all over again. I thought that there wouldn't be much change to gears until jobs introduction. Seemed quite logic. Yet SE managed to do otherwise.
Screwing with gears like that 2 times in 2 months it's a bit too much, imo.

Except this was a change that was demanded by the players. The current dye system sucks and is stupid, this new dye system is awesome and sexy.

I'm just glad I can dye gear whatever color I want (from the given colors). For gatherers especially, in 1.19 this was a mess. For the 30 range I was wearing red, green and yellow gear, frankly it was ridiculous.

Why would this happen?

I can imagine you lost many a good nights sleep over this o.O

Question: Do we still risk making an HQ item NQ through dying? If so, how does everyone feel about that?

Part of me says: "Realism! Easy to screw up something trying to dye it" other part says "Boooo, I just want to cuddle and hug my new +3 gear, now in purple"

Edit: Hmm, after staring at the charts and *'s again I'm leaning toward dyeing being pretty passive and not affecting quality.

Yea I really hope the new dying system doesn't even open the synthesis box, why can't I just select a dye and add it to an item "like ever other mmo out there"

In 2.0 dying should be as easy as right clicking a dye and adding it to an item.

But I LIKE being a Communist.

But all-blue cobalt plate set for tanking? MEGAMAN, ANYONE?

A few questions:

What is going to be the catalyst to add attributes to finished items, it seems like its not going to me materia, since there is a full synth required.

Are we ever going to be able to "bleach" gear to remove the dye?

They noted that in 2.0 we'll be able to dye an item more than once. Assuming they'll add a bleach of some sort if you really really like the faded beige look.
