Remaking the outfits isn't probably working so easily as people would expect. Mostly they are a one-piece, specifically catered for NPC's with dyes you probably won't find anywhere else. Besides, SE might go the traditional route and just have the players have the unique outfit 'as-is' as a 'You want to wear one of the outfits of your allies you made along the way and feel like them? Here's your chance!' - And stick with it, no extras to change the unique-ness of those.

Same goes with the theme of armors you see often in certain roles - More plated on tanks and more robes on healers. They got a certain design vision going on and they wouldn't like to bend their ideals -traditional or 'dumb' they are- to players that drum up for change.

It's their game, after all. Stubborn or not.
Lyse's NPC model isn't even a one piece - it's actually separated into pieces, as someone said earlier in the thread, so not even a onesie, they had it make it into one. They have far more complicated pieces in the shop alone, yet the NPC outfits are undyable for.. cause it's complicated? lol, if that's the case, then don't release it into the shop. If you don't want to put effort into something, then don't release it as a paid product. You should have familiar feelings of that as a Hrothgar, right? Or is having them continue to be a limited race just a design vision as well?

Also, still a poor excuse. If you want to feel like your favorite NPC with all the uniqueness, then.. just don't dye the outfit. Simple! Now you can run around with all of their unique goody colors. Their design vision includes bikinis on tanks, flowy robes on healers only, so not sure why that again, their design vision would be ruined by different color options.

Yes, it's their game that uh, we pay for, so like it or not we can have feedback regarding something as simple as color customization.
