Do people actually think people want to flock to that colour. What you'll see mostly are the actual good colours, gold, black, greys, red, blues, browns, greens. For armour those are the most popular colours. Rarely will you see link Jesus Christ you people.
Just because people can customize their armour doesn't mean they'll choose the most ugly colour available. People generally want to look badass in these games so they'll have colours to express it
in EQ half the game was in ugly colors. I kept my colors low key, dark greens and stuff properly swamp-like, suitable for a troll, but it wasn't so much pink and such that was the issue, it was mismatched colors, and rainbow looking armor. The samples the devs put up of things they played with showed that even they leaned towards hideous color combinations when playing around.

Obscure✭✭✭✭✭I'm glad they decided to make Pink tied to fishing. You therefore must suffer greatly for many hours in boredom, to earn the right to abuse my retinas. You can only look like your wearing a teenage harijuku girl outfit, if you suffer enough to earn it. I can accept that...but don't expect a rez...or a party invite. Nothing personal, but if I don't absolutely have to look at it I won't.
I will enjoy my earthy tones and rustic colors to look as a tough old self respecting Dunmer should, and you can enjoy your bright and flashy colors to prance about like frilly magical glitter unicorn.
By the by here's a list from Dulfy of the colors if you didn't already know:

I think the technical answer is that shields are considered weapons and not armour, but I agree that it would be good to be able to dye shields, and I think they have said they may look into that.smeeprocketnub19_ESO wrote: »yea I do not understand the shield thing at all.

Nope, shields are armour, they are stored in the Armour section of your inventory, hence people's confusion.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

Do you know if you can place like a Guild Emblem over the shield and dye that?Edited by Chubbaz on August 2, 2014 6:13AM1 -
AoEnwyr✭✭✭✭It's a question about dyes and I apologize beforehand if this has already been asked/covered but I just wanted to make sure.
Is it possible that I'll be able to dye ALL of my equipment bright pink? I ask because I think it would be quite humorous on my Argonian.
Bonus points for glitter (Hint, hint Zeni).
If only you could also give your Argonian a dirty big handlebar mustache... That would be one fine looking character right there.

Sorry I don't know, it would be a solution for people if you could though.
My personal hope is that they will add an option to dye your shield later, and maybe at some point weapons too (I know this one is devisive though).People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

Chubbaz✭✭✭Incredible, so much whining and butthurt over armour colours. Is it REALLY going to ruin your game ?
Tell me about it. It's even funnier knowing that this has been a requested feature for a long, long time. It's a step up on character customization/Player identity and yet people can shun others based on a certain shade they wish to sport. Gotta' love the MMO mentality.

MonkeyAssassin24✭✭✭I'm glad they decided to make Pink tied to fishing. You therefore must suffer greatly for many hours in boredom, to earn the right to abuse my retinas. You can only look like your wearing a teenage harijuku girl outfit, if you suffer enough to earn it. I can accept that...but don't expect a rez...or a party invite. Nothing personal, but if I don't absolutely have to look at it I won't.
I will enjoy my earthy tones and rustic colors to look as a tough old self respecting Dunmer should, and you can enjoy your bright and flashy colors to prance about like frilly magical glitter unicorn.

This is what I believe will start happening, but unfortunately it will be a double-edged sword. There will undoubtedly be players who morph into the pink power ranger, but there will also be those who just want to customize their character to be similar to themselves, which may involve colors that others may observe to be "out of the norm" for ES. If players however simply want to look as ridiculous as possible, they shouldn't be surprised if others start separating themselves from them. Personally I don't really see too much of a difference between an *** in bright pink and an *** who makes a short fat Bosmer with a mohawk and curly mustache...they both look ridiculous.

choice of hairstyles aside (and I don't think mohawks are ridiculous for bosmers, though facial hair on elves seems weird to me and the combo is somewhat of a faux paus) bosmers are supposed to be short, and I don't see why they wouldn't be able to gain excess weight.
You can't really be super fat in this game anyway. I have an orc that is as big as possible except in height and my khajiit is as big as possible in everything but the gut and neither looks even overweight.
I do however like that you can add weight to your character in general.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.0 -

Agreed (especially about the facial hair on elves), I was just trying to think of the most eyebrow raising oddity of a character I could and short and fat came to mind...and I also like making fun of Bosmer's. I'm still working on my first cup of coffee, but maybe a skinny, long straight-haired Orc with the same mustache would work better (I never understood that hairstyle appearing on Orcs).
The point I was trying to make is there are already systems in place to make absurd characters, while they may not seem as odd as an Argonian in pink armor, there are many players in the world already that seem to have been stricken with a touch of Sheogorath.On second thought, let's not go to the forums.

Hairstyles on khajiit confuse me more but that's a staple of the game. Also, I wish it was possible to have no chest at all when it comes to argonian females, because that looks weird to me personally. Even if I put the bar at the lowest possible setting, they are still there and my armor has bumps to fit them in.
The long straight hair on redguards confuses me more than on orcs though. The effort and time it takes to straighten one's hair if they are of African descent probably means only the very wealthy would have straight hair, (if that were even a style at all,) yet you'll find hermit npcs with long, perfectly straight locks.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.2 -

MercyKilling✭✭✭✭✭I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
3) Difficulty slider.
4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.0 -
