What was it like before Outfit Stations?

I remember back in the days of no dyes or outfits, I remember seeing someone in Craglorn with shiny purple armor and I thought, "wow! I cannot wait to get high enough to have that shiny purple color!" Which I think was just shadowhide or void cloth. lol It was pretty sad. it is much much better now!

I still remember dye station release, best ESO days ever lol.

This one does not need fine clothes to walk the catwalk.

With dyes it wasn't so bad. Certain styles and weights dyed better than others, as it is today anyway. Yes the dark red weapons brings a nostalgia feeling haha. Personally I always had helm off so didn't have to see the monster set other than shoulder back then

As another said, before outfits it was costumes and dying. Before that it was disguises.

And if you didn't like any disguises (or costumes, once those were a thing), basically it meant you needed to craft your own gear and learn motifs you liked the look of to craft it yourself. Or know someone who could.

If you didn't use crafted gear, you were basically hosed if you didn't like any disguises.

What I dislike a lot about ESO outfitter system is

• that you always have the same look
• without outfit monster sets mostly look terrible even if you just show the shoulders
• mostly if you dye a set it looks like shiny plastic

I think the ESO method is way inferior to the GW2 system where you can mix 2 sets and get stats from one and looks of the other (they also have costumes).

umm. UMMM. ESO method works the same as GW2, with exception of GW2 not requiring a station to go to, to change your outfit. and that dyes are crafted/bought from cash shop rather then added through achievements (I will say this much, GW2 has a LOT more dyes and they can get a lot more interesting/vivid than ESO dyes so kudos to that) and you are limited by armor weight. while not being limited in ESO.

I love GW2 outfit system, partly because its a very pretty game with very beautiful colors and I just find it pleasing. but as far as functionality its near identical except ESO is far more comprehensive.

Feel like style materials should be turned into sell to vendor junk for 100g and retired literally craft bag fodder except for the few housing items that need it.

Considering that you can buy them from NCP vendors for a lot less than that, I don't think that's a great idea. Besides, some of the more recent style materials are still reasonably rare and hard to farm.

On a side note, I laughed when I saw that a target skeleton requires one Animus Stone and 206 Bone to craft it. (That's the number of bones in a human body.)

Maybe keep the base racials as materials for that target dummy but rest hard to farm or not just yeet em and delete em or cash em for gold.
