Suggestion to fix something that bugging the heck out of me with the dye system

At the very least, allow us to dye both the primary and secondary colored portions on armor.

I'd ask for something like GW2 where it varied based on the armor, anywhere between 1-4 Dye-able sections... allowing you to customize the entire piece of armor to any color you wanted. They also Stored dyes and Vanities to reuse whenever. I mean, at least have the GD decency to make real-money dye infinite use like GW2 would... shameless greed.

[sarcasm]But I mean... what resources does a large, triple A company like SE have compared to a small Free-to-play MMO company like GW2? It would take days to make a good dye/vanity system![/sarcasm]

But... I'm not so blind as to see, GW2 was designed with the idea of Vanity/Dye... where as if i recall FFXIV tacked in on somewhere between 1-2.0 due to demand for it. which is why its so terribly limited.

I can't believe they didn't design the game with dyeable gear from the start. The incompetence is staggering. I have no positive words for SE anymore. I'm just waiting for the cash shop to take over. Buying dyes with real money is the biggest joke I have seen with the dye system yet. SE is holding up a big sign, behind that sign they are giving us all the finger hoping we don't figure it out.

I'd honestly be more okay with the Purchasable dyes if they were Infinite use... I might actually buy them then. But to only get 5, and to have to rebuy them every time I decide to change my vanity or new armor is released and I like it more...?

But as far as why they didn't design the game with Dyes/Vanity in mind, I don't really know. It just seems silly in an age of MMOs where even older games are adding Vanity systems that a game would be designed without the intentions of a vanity system or dyes. Half the fun in some of the games I play is finding a color/outfit that I can enjoy, and then changing it later. Its not for everyone, but its not like it'd take coil level development time to improve the dye and vanity systems.
