Change the Dyeing Synthesis Recipes

[Amineri]

This isn't' dumbing down. Unnecessarily redundant recipes that explode your inventory and limit choices does not a make "smart" crafting system.

Agree 100%. The current crafting system isn't a smart crafting system. But I don't believe that simply eliminating all dyes from the creation process will create a more interesting system. I'm requesting that SE not stop after allowing dyeing after-the-fact, but take another step and add something to enrich the crafting process.

There's a reason they all do it that way. It's the best way to do it. Just because something is different doesn't mean it's better.

Touché, but conversely just because everyone does it doesn't make it the best way to do it, either. I think fewer people would have problems with the cloth / leather dyeing system if SE hadn't used it as a club to restrict players from crafting items. As below ...

The most irritating thing to be was wanting to make something, and then having everything right, and then finding out I had to have a black leather instead of a plain one when all I was trying to make was a green cloth piece or something.

SE could have been a lot more original here. Rather than requiring particular dyed buffalo leather strap, they could have various supplemental effect based on the color chosen (e.g. +3 fire element for red leather). Instead they chose to beat us about the head and shoulders.

In the end, I'd prefer that SE move forward with a system that shows promise, rather than revert to a copy-paste of every other MMO on the planet.
