Colored gear with specific classes.

[Rowe]

The reason that different colored equipment now offer different stats was because when making the item-related adjustments, the team changed it so you can easily differentiate stat differences by the color of the gear.

I understand that some people want dyes to just be an aesthetic-only option, and I'll be sure to pass that along to the dev. team along with other feedback.

It was a stupid thing to do as well as lazy! All purpose dye should be just that, every color should be applicable to all items. We have gone from an item having 3-5 color variants to having most of the new items having 2 and 3 at the very most.

As a weaver I loved that I could make LS members gear and ask them their color preference. Now they simply get what they get. And Wtf is the point of associating a stat to a dye color when there is the materia system???? It pigeon-holes people into using the colored gear possessing the supposed "best" stat for a job and not their preferred color, it will be like FFXI all over again where level 75 players of a specific job all look like clones wearing all the exact same gear in each slot.

When I read about the introduction of All Pupose dyes I thought we would be getting greater choice in color variation of gear, not drastically more limited choice!!!!! Hell I though we'd be able to dye NM and Raid drops, not that those are even desirable anymore now that materia system has obsoleted people's hard won items just 3 months after those items introduction.
