Glamour Cosplay

[AlisaMakora]

Except people are still doing coil, precisely to get the tomestone parts that allow people to make the dyeable Allagan gear. I dunno about you, but people are still doing coil, and it's still taking work for people to get the items in question. I wouldn't mind them making the standard, non-replica gear dyeable, but considering they've nixed that option with the replica allagan gear we're probably still getting recipes if we ever do get the option.

What, do you want a clear date tooltip attached or something? It requires the same content to be completed.

Except that the people buying the dyable pieces can be people whom never touched coil at all. The entire thing can be purchased through MB.

Thats a great way to make some gear lose its "value" or rather what it represents, pretty much like Kirin nowadays. Having cleared coil should have been a prerequisite to be able to use these pieces as glamour. I mean come on its raid gear, dated yes, but still.

Not everything needs to be readily available for people who potentially never had to put any effort into a specific content dated or not. Or because they missed an event.
Some things have to remain rare and/or exclusive to a specific period of time ( lightning gear, 1.0 items ) or to the type of content they where originally from. ( raid drops in MB, gg SE ).


I agree, the actual pieces should have been made dyable. This way EVERYONE wanting those raid pieces need to at least put some effort into the process and actually earn their glamour.
Lets be honest here. Farming or buying enough gil for those pieces is not an effort in my book. It feels like a spit in a face to all the people who grinded their asses off to get their original undyable pieces.


Ill leave it at that. Its my opinion, it wont change no matter what.
Lets go back on topic.

Snipped a bit, but kept the most important points. I couldn't agree more.

I'm already annoyed enough that this has happened with Allagan and High Allagan. But if they let people walk around in Bahamut drops who never even set foot in Coil... that's just disrespectful to the players who put in the time and effort.
