I agree. It seems as if undyable gear is only there to be reused in the future but dyeable.

Even if everything turned out to be dyeable the could STILL recycle them just changing the dye patterns. They reused the Shire sets two other times and they always came in a different dye pattern.

However what irks me most is that they re-use sets that were ALREADY reused before when there are so many candidates like the Warg set, or the Lost Thief/Plague Bringer sets from HW.
