I remember as a new player I used to see the "high level" mages running around in pink canvas gear and I would dream of wearing it myself one day. This year I finally got the crafting levels to be able to make the pink canvas set. There was a modern "red" linen set but it was the pink canvas I made with such fond memories and pride. I still have it, along with a few extra pieces of pink canvas and a few other items I made with it. SE can take my canvas and the recipes that use it, but they'll have to fight me tooth and claw to make me give up my precious clothes that I made with it. Please, get rid of the recipes if you really want to but let us have our dated gear that we already made or bought! I never want to see a precedent where deleting items is OK. Even the materials for the dated items should be left to the player to decide to hoard or NPC off, with the fair warning that they can never be used in any recipe again. I'd volunteer to give up every nugget and leather strap I have right now to keep my dated gear though; please, please don't take my pink canvas robes away!
