Undyeable gear... what?

[GilbertLapine]

So there's a lot of really cool gear in this game, and you can dye almost none of it...



Ok, I exaggerate slightly, but most of the green or blue gears (i.e. the cool looking ones -- darklight, acolyte stuff, GC, etc.) can't be modified, while dyes are reserved for the crummiest of equips.

So.. what gives? I understand not being able to totally dye GC uniforms for lore purposes, but if dying is included in the game why not give it some kind of dying component (i.e. the trim? something).

Yoshi said that they will not allow us to dye endgame gear for lore purposes.

Still don't get it. Is there a union contract stipulating appropriate dress for a job? I get things like BLM should be black, I mean it make sense and all, but just like the GCs.. why not have a dyeable component that still perseveres the lore? Right now I'm wishing I'd kept my orange juice, lol!

Besides, if they're going to have vanity slots that sort of makes the lore point moot, since everyone will already be 'special snowflaking' by mixing and matching their preferred armors.
