Make all Tome/Raid Gear Dyable

[NolLacnala]

You've got a few options actually.
1) Wait until catch up patch, which is built around casual players in general
2)

Either way, sit down Balmung.

epic stats are special snowflake enough.

The irony is palpable.

In all seriousness, OP, I'm inclined to think that the reason raiders get first/exclusive access to greater glamour options is precisely because SE is trying to incentivize people who don't care about raiding for it's own sake. At some point they learned that the casual base likes glamours, so maybe if they make raid gear dyeable and standard gear not, more people will try raiding.

Further, while I too dislike being unable to dye certain gear, not everyone needs everything. For example at the moment most of my FC is whining and carrying on about being unable to obtain the new tmaps without spending some $$$ since they never bothered to level gathering classes. But I did put in that effort (or mindless slogging rather) and I would be upset if they started dropping from dungeons or something like that. Perspective is important.

You have weapons that no one else can get. That's exclusive enough.

I won't mind if they make normal raid gear dyeable IF savage raid gear was unique and different from normal one (dyeable too).

You can also get the maps from Wonderous Tales. This week you can get one for just completing the 9 stickers.

The Ala Mhigan gear is dyable, and no one complained. I think it's just special snowflaking that makes people not want non savage gear to be dyed.

There's nothing stopping you from working towards acquiring them. I'm sure all that time you spend posting on the forum could be funneled into getting a group together and at least trying to acquire the rewards for yourself. High end raiders tackle the most challenging content in the game and for many there needs to be a solid rewards beyond just bragging rights. Exclusive glamour options work very well in that regard - and it is precisely what got a lot of people into raiding in the first place back in certain other MMO's too.

The lack of dyeing option in this game on all levels (dungeons gear, normal gear, tome gear) is the reason why I'm almost never changing my glam. I don't see any valuable reason as to why they don't add it to all gears.

As for end game gear, this expansion's new gears are ugly enough you'd think they'd let people dye it to try and make something outta it.

It's the lower tier of gear, you've never had to raid to upgrade that.
