Colored gear with specific classes.

Welp. I hope it's wrong as I do not wish to ever have to wear green. And with that I am going to go to bed. :D I shall be back to die a little on the inside later in the week.

I'm glad to see there is a large group of people who share my opinion on this. Making stats dependent on Color is a massive step backward. People like customization and individuality. Its good to have some gear that is Class specific, but to make it based on color is just Cruel. I for one want to wear Blue and Black regardless of what job I play. I don't want to have to sacrifice my characters efficiency just so I can look cool. God knows this will only lead to people being rejected from parties based on the color of their gear..

Please do not have us Judged on the color of our gear..

I must agree Oscillate. All craftable gear should be equippable by any class. Still should have required rank

I can agree with this to an extent. Crafted gear should most certainly not be restricted to any single class. Further more, All crafted gear should be able to be used by the same classes despite what color they are.

Agreed. Colour limiting ability of the same type of gear is unwanted. How did this even register as a reasonable thing to do.
This is simple. Stats on gear stay the same. Colour changes. Bing bang boom that's how babies are made.

All purpose dye is not "all purpose" since it's restricted. Wonky system that they need to address lol.

Exactly! I was so happy with the concept of an all-purpose dye, but these new dyes are anything but all purpose. Everyone will be running around in the exact same gear with no individuality.

I agree with this 100%.

This was a very wierd idea on the devs part. They have talked of it several times before but I think I was in denial about it. I simply couldn't grasp the point of a system that will make everyone look alike, and narrows down options in areas were options arguably only are good.

I like the patch so far, I've liked all patches so far. But this one thing is bugging me...

and here i made the mistaken thought that all-purpose would allow us to use ANY of the colors and apply it to ANY on the uncolored gear. I had several people ask me about making them purple Ranger gear, so I know it's not just me thinking that the one or two color dyes is massively stupid also besides the stat effects. Purple means royalty right? Then purple gear should have awesome stats... /sigh
