Question for a Dev: Why is the new raid gear not dyable since the last two were?

[Berethos]

This makes NO sense. You have the ability to make gear dyeable. How does making unique armor models preclude making a piece of gear dyeable??

In any MMO worth its salt, ALL gear is dyeable by default. Why is such a simple thing so difficult for your devs? I honestly don't understand it. We should not have to choose between "new armor models" and "dyeable gear". Those are BOTH things we should have. Your dev team should be knowledgeable enough to do so.

It's not about knowledge, it's about development time.

It's not a difficult concept (or shouldn't be, but apparently I'm wrong...) that completing things takes time, and projects budget for a certain amount of time for each aspect to get things done.

And honestly, I'd trust the team actually budgeting that time and working on said project when it comes to what they can and can't get done over whiny forum goers who cry over something they can't control, and whose best comeback is that "MMOs worth their salt do it" while ignoring that those that do have extensive dye systems typically compromised in other areas with said gear (or other areas of the game) to make the "everything dyeable" happen...but then again, that wouldn't fit into their idea that the devs here are stupid or incompetent for not doing what they wanted, now would it?

Show me evidence that MMOs who let you dye all gear have somehow "compromised" in other areas with the gear or the game.
