Would like the dated gear to be brought back

Typed up a long reply and grabbing links somehow it timed out or something, and deleted it all so this will be short -_-

Stat wise yes they're worthless but that's the point. Id prefer them just to add them for glamour, and spend time adding new things to the game instead. I know they haven't remove the actual items since I have 58 dated body pieces personally. There's just so many variations and very different alternate looks for them that its a shame they're gone, and should be added back. It's like how the sentinel gear looks similar to other tank gear but looks different material wise with spotted fur etc, instead of just a Reskin. It's subtle but noticeable and well made.

A few examples are dated bone scale mail. The small image does it no justice... It looks like a bronze and brown leather vintage scale mail.

Dated bone scale mail (this image looks more like it does in game, but again the metal is noticeable instead of just kinda... There

It was nifty to be able to dress my mage in heavy plate armour thanks to the dated gear.
I'm all for more options.

There is lol go check again.

I don't see the reason for actually adding dated gear to the Mogstation, as it's whole point it even exists is it was simply obsolete gear that was in 1.0 prior to gear being changed in a patch (spiritbonding being added, level restrictions or penalties being added etc). It's dated because that's exactly what it is - obsolete and a relic from version 1.0's early days when equipment functioned a little differently.

As others have suggested, the only difference appearance wise is some slight detail differences and the fact a lot of it has unique colourings that cannot be replicated by dyes. However, mostly they're rather dull, butt ugly and only worth keeping for sentimental value (in fact, the only piece of dated gear I really use is my Dated Brass Dagger, which is one of the few daggers that wasn't removed from GLA/PLD - one of these days I'm going to glamour the appearance of that to my Curtana for the lulz and see how long it takes other people to ask me "how are you still using a dagger on PLD?". ).

Actually they made that gear dated because of the way it was set. Each piece was completely separate data wise and they needed to shrink down the size. So instead of having 5 different spots in the data files for each piece (per color) they could have one piece with 5 colors and they left those. Also if I remember right, that's also why we don't have an option to have written inventory instead of icons. Data size, but with the dated gear they don't need to add every color etc, just can either add them as is,or dyeable like the gear is now. Some look lame dyed, some don't.

I really want one of those. I was sad when they took away daggers from gladiators. Aggghhhhh want my gladiator daggers back

I'm glad I held onto the Dated Hempen Kecks because some of the pant options for male healers are awful (tights, poofy pants, boxer shorts).
The kecks at least look like normal pants lol

[Recaldy]

I want the kecks so I can't glamour them onto ALL THE THINGS!

They are dated gears, because they were crafted with the old recipes, which got removed during 1.20 or 1.21.
The recipes got streamlined (around 5 mats instead of 10 mats as an example) and the gears from the old recipes got an dated in their name to differ them from the gear of the new recipes. With ARR the old recipes got removed completely and dated gear became untradeable and lost their stats.
