    Not able to dye certain gear - community thoughts?

    Hey everyone, as a collective whole - what are your thoughts about players not being able to dye certain gear?

    What purpose does this serve our community by restricting the dyes? An example. The BRD mercenary stuff from WP can be colored. The BRD gear from AK cannont. This doesn't make sense to me. Our dark light and allagan stuff - same deal.

    Why is this restriction even put into the game?

    Wouldn't it make more sense and give more variety in the game if every (or most) piece of gear had the ability to be dyed?

    Dislike it ... I want more customization, less clones, and less forced cowls.

    But what can ya do? I'm in the crafted gear until I can get hero gear because I can't stand the Darklight stuff.

    It makes as much sense as them adding multiple new dungeons in 2.1 with nothing but vanity when we aren't even getting vanity slots till 2.2(3 months later).

    If I'm honest I'd rather only crafted gear was able to be dyed. Dying stuff like ancient Allagan armor just seems... weird to me.

    Really wish you could dye more end-game gear. I see way too many people running around in the same af2/darklight gear. Clones everywhere, needs to stop.

    Yeah at least with normal gear you can have the option to be unique. I personally wish endgame gear could be customized more. Like the DRG DL gear. Would be cool, instead of having those blue highlights, maybe some red, yellow, etc? Would be pretty neat! And for all the classes not just DRG. I just seem to have that thought more when I see that gear.

    The gears we want to dye, we can't. The ones we do want to dye gets replaced by the ones we can't dye.

    Thankfully I don't see many tanks in nearly full allagan, so I look quite unique(atleast on my server) but now that many more groups are running coil....i'm becoming less unique. QQ

    Maybe someday allagan/af2 will be dye-able.

    Dislike it. I dislike the forced hoods too, since I love my geeky kitty in her glasses, and so many robes say NOPE. The dye is very annoying though. I remember getting the first fancy looking set of gear (Acolyte's stuff) and thinking how awesome it looked other than the fact it was dirt brown, and ended up so sad I couldn't dye it. I don't think EVERYTHING needs dyeable, and I'm a bit torn on changing the colors of certain specific looks like the classic White Mage, etc, but more need to be dyeable than currently are, regardless.
