    In a game that prides itself on its feature to let you play as all jobs on one character and glamour end-game this doesn't make any sense considering the previous AF sets only needed to be upgraded once in order to be dyable. I have nine combat jobs at lvl 70, the rest at 60, and I plan to get those to 70 as well, which means in order to make all gear sets dyable I'll need 45 000 protean crystals and 11 250 anemos crystals. That's insane! I understand needing that many crystals to get the stats and five materia slots, but JUST for glamour? If this continues, what about the inevitable AF4 gear, what ridiculous grind awaits if you want THAT dyable?

    Stop this madness before it's too late.

    To upgrade the HW AF sets once, you had to Savage to upgrade three pieces per week if the game really liked you; otherwise you had to Savage every week for a month to upgrade two pieces. If you didn't Savage, you had to wait a major patch number, then you could upgrade one piece per week by doing Alliance Raids, or you could religiously do hunts for 3,000 Centurio seals per piece.

    And let's not forget that the antiquated versions were bought with cap tomes, so it would take seven weeks just to get the base pieces, and you could just forget about getting pure-glamour dyable AF gear for any job that wasn't your main or second-mainish.

    The current AF sets are pretty generous, and don't need nerfing.
