    Could PVP gear be added to the Gold Saucer prize exchange?

    Edit to be clear: I am talking about undyeable level 1 versions of the current PVP gear, similar to the approach taken for the Garo sets in the past. PVP gear would retain its value by being dyeable.

    ---

    Previously the GARO/Makai collaboration gear, generally regarded as a "PVP event", also had level 1 undyeable versions of all the gear and weapons available from the Gold Saucer.

    The end of the collaboration massively reduced the range of gear that could be purchased with MGP, and the prize exchange feels very lacking now.

    So it occurred to me – could the same approach be taken with other PVP gear?

    Having undyeable versions of the regular PVP sets available from the Gold Saucer would mean that people have multiple routes for acquiring glamours through side content they enjoy.

    The different versions also have their own benefits: Gold Saucer is more accessible to beginners and lets you use some cool role-specific glamours from level 1; PVP (requiring more effort to gain) has more lasting value because it's dyeable. So people might collect both versions at different stages in their levelling process.

    It also means that developing new glamour sets adds more prizes for two kinds of content instead of one.

    It would give MGP a lot more value for me personally. When the Makai gear was available, building up a stash of MGP felt like it was storing glamour in advance, with such a big range of things to buy. Now there's such a small amount and I've already bought anything that was interesting.
