I did offer an alternative that involves using catalysts to attach to gear to make the stats change within the same piece of gear. Currently we have for lancers Scale mail, Haubs and shirts. If you don't want to wear a shirt, you can wear a scale mail, problem solved for in-class uniqueness. Except all models of armour give different stats, therefore different models can be used for different situations.

What was so wrong with having various models of armour per class? They could have introduced even more models if that's your view.
Why on top of it further reduce uniqueness by tying direct stats to the colours? I don't think you know what you want and leap at any chance to accept something that makes a Marauder over an Archer unique.

That's great and all, but if the stats are great for one piece, in one colour, wouldn't all archers therefore pick that one piece? I don't see how that's very unique.

This argument is ridiculous~~~.

So when AF armour comes out are you going to kick and scream because all Gladiators look the same? O: Because I won't.

I kinda see what your deal is though. You find it weird that two classes can wear the same piece of armour. Well that hasn't changed, and by giving each a slew of colours connected to stats you think that's good, because it determines that now Red = Archer, and that Blue = Pugilist.

Completely ignoring user's desire for customization.

However, if they're both DD and want the gear that has +DD stats, they're still going to pick the same thing regardless of their class.
The past dye system allowed for class uniqueness by allowing people to wear whatever the hell colour they wanted by not restricting anything. Now you have specifically hued pieces of equipment that despite what you may want to believe, THM can heal just as well as conjurer, so both may as well pick green if that's what they want to do.

The dye system has done nothing but make certain pieces of the same gear better over others for no other reason than the dyes now give stats. It has done nothing towards uniqueness.
