    For anyone who argues against not being realistic.

    1. You are playing a fantasy game, like you can inhale health from an enemy and throw fire balls around in real life.

    2. I present to you this.

    My thoughts are if they aren’t prioritizing game maintenance and functionality already, which is most important in my opinion, Then why not give us something to calm our frustration :blush:

    I don't know how many times I've wanted to scream "please at least just placate us in the meantime"

    Exactly, too bad forum team has been tagged 4 times in this thread and still no word of why or why not they'd want to do this, because i cant imagine they'd still be using the same excuse for not doing it a while back :lol:

    At the very least those items like the quiver or sword grips should be dye-able. Having them all be red makes them clash a lot of the time.

    You want the pink staves apocalypse? Cus you'll get the pink staff apocalypse.
    TOR went down this road and the results weren't pretty.

    Why people cares so much about what others people do?

    You can dye costumes with pink and turquoise and no one do it because it's funny but you look like a clown few minutes later, why do you genius don't understand that.

    I want metal looking weapons so badly...

    This is partly why I'm hesitant. I hate looking at the candy-apple red weapons that we have right now. I shudder to think of all the pepto bismol-pink Warhammers we're going to see if they do this. I realize there is a reason they are red but I'm hopeful it can be muted a bit or at the very least there could be concurrently good materials (like Dragonbone and Daedric were in skyrim for instance).

    @dodgehopper How often do you encounter pink armor now? I'm not convinced many people would dye their weapons pink, especially not after the novelty wears off in a week or two :p

    It cracks me up how much people are so punitive and judgemental on what other people would do with dying their weapons... Like I see people running around in full bubble gum blue or Pepto pink armour all the time but don’t really care, its their character not mine and its not like this fantasy game encourages immersion or realism.... besides decent graphics :tongue: focus less on others and more on yourself and I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever you choose to do. I know being able to further customize my character will make me quite happy, especially to change it up from the candy apple red weapons blegh

    They're already pink! if even 1 person dyes their weapon to realistic colors, its already an improvement.

    OP, your discussion title is so misleading. When I first saw it I thought it was going to be an announcement that weapon dying is confirmed and on the way. Instead, it is just another poll (of dozens) asking for weapon dyeing. But yeah, I do agree that we are way past due for the ability to dye our weapons.

    Amen, you and everyone else!

    People who vote no because they don’t want people running around with pink weapons are either;

    1. Control Freaks hyper-focused on others and everything they can and cannot do.
    2. Forgetting the fact that depending on the weapon you have its already bright pink or bright red.

    Lets hear some good reasons as to why we shouldn’t have this option, if you've voted no :wink:

    For anyone who voted No (apart from the guy that said No, because someone has to oppose it, that was cool) I'm praying to RNGsus that every weapon and piece of armour you get that is BOP is prosperous.
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    I know there's additional network and client cost for something like this but being stuck with red weapons is a major downer.

    If not giving us full dye control, at least allow us to recolour weapons according to the existing ore schemes. Eg. I walk up to a crafting station with my red max level weapon, apply some orichalcum and voila, it's green.
