Armor Dye Restrictions, Please let it work for SOME Lore sets.

Yes. yes.

How is this relevant to this discussion?

That they can't be defending this decision with lore reasons, considering how much of it is already broken in TOR.

Hmmm no ! Actually SWTOR armored jedi look stems from TCW (Filoni's) which is one of the highest canon, just slightly below the non-CGI movies. It is actually one of the less EUish thing in SWTOR.
Don't get me wrong I too would love to be able to wear "classic" robes but the "bashing" of SWTOR armour design is sometimes unwarranted.

There should be no restrictions on the gear you can recolor. :/ I realize it might be that they need to rework all pieces of gear. Making only orange sets dyeable is a good solution.

I also hope that the restriction on lore sets will be removed.

I agree with the OP - some of the lore sets and < level 15 armour sets are some of the best in the game, it would be a real shame if we could'nt enjoy them with the dye/colour system. Not to mention that some of the sets we have paid for and sought out in Hypercrates and packs.

Please don't make the mistake of putting limits on an exceptionally requested feature.

Why would they restrict some but not all?

Quite honestly, it's completely ridiculous. There are several instances showing BW's right hand working at odds with its left.

Take for example the cost of mod extraction. If they want to sell more outfits on the CM, you'd think they'd make it really easy for me to change my outfit. Instead, it costs an arm and leg to swap out an outfit; so when I see one I think I like on the market, If I'm not in the mood the grind dailies for the cash, I don't buy it. That's a loss of profit. (I understand credit sinks, but if the right hand knew what the left wanted, they'd shunt the sink somewhere it's not hindering sales).

This is just another example of that. If they wanted to sell more armor dyes (re: goal of the CM), you'd think they'd make it so that any piece in the game could be made to someone's liking so there's no excuse not to buy the dye module.

I like Jolee's tunic. I don't like the diarrhea-brown color. If I could change the color I'd buy the outfit, i'd buy the dye, and I'd do it twice so that I had a pvp and a pve set for the character I'd wear it on.

If it's implemented like they say, I'm not buying cartel packs for the armor, and I'm not buying the dye from the CM, because it's not something I'd wear without the dye. This means zero profit other than the $15 I pay them each month to tell me what things are restricted and withheld from me each update.

You've got to love a group of developers that are more interested in taking the time to code restrictions than giving the players the cooler stuff.

1) I like that there are some sets that dyeing won't work on. It makes sense in a lot of cases, like gear that's differentiated by a Rated PvP version soley by color. We won't all agree on where the line should be, but I'm glad that it won't work for *everything*.

2) You could always just dye your chest and color-unify every single lore piece spare the chestpiece.
