Colored gear with specific classes.

[unnameduser]

As far as I'm aware, wearing AF or not has no bearing on how well you can fulfill your role either. Since that isn't even the point of class-specific gear in the first place. And what you just said was something people weren't fine with. Sharing the same gear aesthetics with other classes rubbed people the wrong way.



Like it or not, color defines classes as much as gear model does. Paladin has white armor. Red mage has red armor. Black mage has black armor. Dragoon has purple-ish armor. The color most certainly is a significant factor of defining- and distinguishing a class or a job.



Now we are bonding with our pants and then, we magically turn the pants into a colored gem. Let's not start going too deeply into that stuff or we just might blow their cover. Although I like your reasoning as well

stop trolling and white-knighting in the same post please.....

Trying to justify stats changing based on the color of dyes because we don't have AF yet to distinguish a class is such a fail-boat argument it's not even funny...

The only plausible explanation is that this is a simple oversight on the part of the dev team. Anything else would be showing us all how indisputably amateur this DEV team truly is.
