I'm sure the answer was released in a letter from the developer, but I don't exactly care for reading through all of them trying to find it. So I ask:

Why are so many recipes named dated? I'm assuming they've been deprecated for whatever reason. But the thing is, almost all current armor, is wearable by only a few archetypes: GLA MRD LNC, DoW, DoW&M, The classes commonly seen in 'middle weight' gear, and all classes.

I'd kinda like to not have some of my armor come off when I go to craft something, but also would prefer to not be wearing crafters gear all the time.

It also seems like a lot of neat looking gear was taken out (labeled dated). As of right now, there really isn't much customization.
