Dye-able AF Disappointment.

[TheRogueX]

It's artifact gear. I've said that multiple times, it's not something they were gonna hand out. And also it keeps crafters relevant. And keeps Gil circulating in the economy for vanity. Not trying to defend it, just telling people to actually see what goes into one and that it's not that hard. But they won't listen :/

But no, none of this makes any sense at all. There are a million other ways they could have kept crafters relevant with vanity. There is absolutely no reason, for instance, for the craftable vanity stuff to be lvl 50 ********************+1 million. There should be dozens and dozens of vanity sets spread from level 1 to level 50 ***************+1 million. SE just knows they've screwed up and that there is too much gil in the game, so they're making up idiotic ways to try to drain that gil. They could have kept crafters relevant by giving them ilvl 100 gear to craft, with maybe some that would allow the crafters to upgrade that 100 gear to 110 gear.

The "It's artifact gear, they're not going to just hand it out" excuse is dumb, because they DID just hand it out. We got all of our AF gear via simple job quests. This should have been as simple as an easy, accessible, and repeatable quest line that culminated in the ability to dye one set of AF gear without having to spend millions of gil.

This is just an example of the SE devs seeming to think that everything has to be complicated and expensive. It's ridiculous. Stop trying to defend it or explain it as if it were understandable.
