Colored gear with specific classes.

Ahaha, I'm shocked at all the support so far! But yes.

We already now have the materia system, why must dyes give stats as well and alter the nature of the equipment it's used on ontop of that, and go as far as to make undyed worse? Blegh.

I was so excited to see that they added purple dyes, and other colors to other equipment.

All purpose dye is not "all purpose" since it's restricted. Wonky system that they need to address lol.

Exactly! I was so happy with the concept of an all-purpose dye, but these new dyes are anything but all purpose. Everyone will be running around in the exact same gear with no individuality.

Very strange indeed. I do not understand the need to create this new stat changing system based on color. I thought Materia was supposed to be used to customize your stats not color.

Hopefully they can change this around by next patch, I mean, do it now while they still can ya know? I'm not really enraged by the system as it is now, but I'm just rather disappointed. If I want to dye lvl 1 gear with purple dye, I think I should be able to do so. Dye doesn't need to add stats to our equipment, we have materia for that SE!

Lol I don't want to bring this up but... Look at Guild Wars 2 dying system... So easy and basic. Not such a nuisance like XIV :/

[Grendel]

Agreed, dying shouldn't affect the stats at all. How did the devs even rationalize that decision?

I hate to admit it but I THINK...I THINK they rationalized it by allowing a larger variety of classes to equip undyed versions...but then took away that allowance by dying them...And to make it a better trade off...attached stats to it. O_o;;

[Nuru]

Exactly, and you cant even dye it a different color after you've dyed it once. =/

Simple answer: They want to satisfy the crowd that want Requirement for wearing Items, at the same time they have yet to push out any new models, thus the Colored Gears are to be sacrificed for the "Greater Good". Enjoy your Requirement to wear.

Sorta a lame way to pull it off though. So a Conjurer can wear the regular Cobalt Armor and just not the color one for the extra stats. Why not just limit that armor to certain classes like we asked, but allow for us to dye whatever color we wanted, like we asked.
