Gear design

[magnanimousCynic]

Remove all copy/paste gear existing for the sake of being dyable and make the original one dyable.

Alright then.

Now what about all the sets you just deleted from the game, from dungeons, holidays, turn-ins, and crafting? The Art and Coding teams will now have to create hundreds, maybe even a thousand, of new sets to replace the deleted ones.

Are you fine with taking a considerable hit to the amount of content in a patch, maybe even multiple, to make a request this monstrous to happen?

I'd like you to show me an MMO that has ZERO reskin gear.

GW2 unlocks things skin by skin and I can't recall any cases where there's 2 variants that dye (or don't) differently for a skin.
For armour at least. Weapon skins do have clones.

Well yes, but GW2 also doesn't add gear at nearly the rate. I think it took them what, 5 years? or w/e for the first expansion, and the only new gear appearances they added between launch and that was cash shop.

They didn't add a tremendous amount (and they're notorious for sticking to a theme for each armour class), but they did add armour during that time for holiday events, living world updates, etc.

I'm pretty sure WoW barely has any. I don't remind seeing copy/paste gear when I was still playing it.
Tho, while I do agree most game have some copy/paste, almost half FFXIV gear are copy/paste gear.

Is this a joke?

Well the fact is here, I have no memory of C/P on WoW while I feel like it is omnipresent in FFXIV. It's not just hasard.

Two sets per armor type for leveling brackets, one set per armor type for expansion launch dungeons, one set per class per raid, one set for all non-raid patch content. It's been that way since 3.1 or 3.2.

you're really not paying attention in wow then... there's like 3-5 different color variations on the same model for most pieces of armor.
