Make all Tome/Raid Gear Dyable

[DamianFatale]

Let's be real here, the appearance shouldn't be as important as the stats. Make it so that all gear earned is dyable. We shouldn't need to clear savage to have our gear the way we want. Keep higher stats for savage clearers, along with exclusive savage weapons, etc, and make all the normal sets dyable. Clearing is great, but epic stats are special snowflake enough.

When we can upgrade it later it will be dyable, it is a bonus for raiders to be able to dye it before everyone else.

I'm arguing against this. No one should have to wait to dye gear. That's punishing players for not doing savage content. Looks aren't so important that savage clearers should be the ones exclusive to dye their sets.

glamor is the true end game. if this is savage dyeable gear, better be able to do savage for your look

Raiding is content meant to feel rewarding on multiple levels and should have something for everyone, as there isn't just one type of individual interested in raids and pushing themselves to their best. Expanded fanservice, mounts, dyeable gear for glam, high stats; there's so much to entice people from different parts of the game now and that's a great thing.

Special Snowflake is a snide remark and spits on those people; it's pretty rude.

If SE makes it dyeable from the start are you okay with it always being 10 item levels lower than the raid gear then (ie no ez mode upgrade items from alliance raids or hunts)? I'd definitely make that trade.

As it stands now, pretty much all raiders DO have is timed exclusivity on things like glams and item levels. Wish people would stop wanting to take even that away.

Looks are important and are part of the prestige for clearing savage. This game caters mostly to casual players (like almost all content is aimed at us), let them have something from time to time.

As is very common with your posts and threads, it seems. At any rate...

I'd prefer to see raiders granted something special as an added incentive. If you really want the dyeable versions of high end gear then you can always fight for it yourself or just wait until later on in the expansion when a much higher item level renders the earlier tiers of content much easier to tackle through the party finder.

It's working as intended.

Can't do it. Epeen.

Why shouldnt players get rewarded for doing savage content? Why is dying certain gear something all should have access to?

I was quite happy with the Creator gear design choice, with savage raiders getting unique models for their gear. Sadly this didnt carry over to Stormblood.

You are not losing anything by not having some parts of the game gated by certain contents. Therefore, no punishment.
