The whole idea of adding materia was to add stats to your gear which they do very well. However the idea of having dye is to allow people to personalize the gear they use to suit their taste and when the gear adds stats it completely voids this mentality. Why would anyone dye something the color they like when a certain color adds a much needed stat? More so then that it basically forces everyone to have gear that looks the same as everyone will use the dye that adds STR or Atk over anything if they are a combat job and the issue is the same on mage, and crafter armor.

At the end of the day it makes no sense. While some have already embraced the dying system because they can use it to add even more stats to their gear I for one would like to see the adding or stats and changing of classes removed in 1.19a along with either making all dyes useable on all gear or at the very least a bit more variety.
I feel the same. I thought materia was going to be the way to customize our stats - not also via the limited color options.
