so lets talk about reusing gear sets

[Iscah]

now that the late allagan pvp set has been reused too, i feel like they might do that for all remaining pvp sets.

Have I missed something big, or are you meaning the Republican sets that have just been released?

I am actually surprised that the Late Allagan sets haven't made an appearance yet, because most of the gear design contest winners have been recycled in this expansion. Possibly a deliberate choice. The only other one we haven't seen repeated is the Lost Allagan set, whether it's a coincidence that the two Allagan sets are the two not used.

As for recycling all the other PVP sets, it's quite possible – though there aren't really that many to recycle. There's essentially four more sets.

1. "Animal-liege" ARR sets – people have been hoping to have these sets accessible to newer classes for a while, so this would be an opportunity to allow that. This could potentially get spread over two sets though, as there are more than seven designs altogether.
2. "The Twelve" sets from Heavensward
3. "Yokai" sets from Stormblood
4. Late Allagan from Shadowbringers

I think they all have some good designs that I wouldn't mind getting a second set of colour schemes for.

Its pretty lazy for them to reuse sets that also were already able to be dyed. Are the dye channels for these at least different? Doesn't feel like the highest budget expansion yet.

The dye channels are generally different, though I don't think they've picked them well for a lot of the levelling sets – a lot have some kind of weird undyeable part that severely limits the colours you can realistically use on them.

However, as I was saying earlier, the newly released Classical set is actually quite good.
