It’s not designed for heavy armor. The preview is heavy armor, but it fits for all armor types. Also… being able to dye them would defeat the purpose of its original aesthetic value.
The set is named for it’s looks.
If Hellfire armor was green; it would be called Felfire Armor. But it’s called Hellfire for a reason.
Same goes for Radiant skins. It’s supposed to be white.
Ravij he meant that it look more plated than – for example leather.
also there is a crippling problem – for example Radiant gloves radiance is crippling through ALL shield in the whole game…
btw who said that radiance have to be white? why it cannot be more blueish?
only problem starts when someone wants to have black ones
as for me I need only that crippling with the shield would be fixed (i cannot use my guild shield because guild emblem becomes unreadable because of that glowing white from below
“-Shield is meant to be broken!”
“-and on this occasion I keep mine plate armors”

The achievement armor, like many different armor, can’t fit into everything, if you don’t like it, then simply don’t use it, you don’t have to ruin it for people who like it, personally, I don’t like them either and I think it’s true that they mostly fit into heavy armor, but I ain’t going to complain about free stuff.

First off, it’s not free, you spend time grinding achievements for them.
Secondly, Hall of Monuments, which is basically achievement armor given for those loyal to GW1, is mostly dyeable with the ONLY exception is the ice king crown.
Laziness is the only reason why the new gear isn’t dyeable.

And to be blunt and honest; the GW1 HoM armor is easy to get and ugly as all living hell. It has no special unique features that make people go “Oooh He did a lot in GW1 to get that!” The GW HoM armor takes little to no effort to get and it looks bland. It looks like any other low grade armor set.
The Hellfire/Radiant armor is more detailed and harder to get as the tier’s progress. So no.. No dying.

No effort for HoM?! Bull. It takes MONTHS of pure grinding and utter frustration to get a full HoM. Eternal Vanquisher, 15 Weapon Statues and 50 freaking unique Mini Pets!
Spending 2-3 hours, killing every single enemy on a map, and you left searching for another 30 minutes for that 1 mob you missed. Vanquisher makes map completion look like pansy work.
All the platinum you have to grind in Underworld to buy stuff for completing achievements.
Spending 10,000 minutes just being drunk! Fast traveling to city, to city, spamming Tonics. Getting 7 Elite Armor sets! (It’s the equivalent to tier 3 cultural) and the Obsidian Armor which is easily over 300 platinum before I left GW1.
That Zaishen Chest, that !@#$ing Zaishen Chest!!
Gaining Achievements in GW2 is cake-walk. There are only a handful of notable exceptions to be difficult. Saying GW1 is easier to get achievements? lol, you are such a noob.
Besides, the Fire Gods Vambraces is dyeable.
I have 7,000 achievement points, the LEAST ArenaNet can do is make the armor awarded dyeable. It already has enough flaws with clipping as it is.

4k AP with no special grind for it – just active playing, doing dailies monthly, exploring the game….
@Bismuth as for me vambraces are fine – just they need little fix with those shields :P
btw. when You are poisoned Radiant Vambraces are glowing green.
so as for me only reason for that they are not dyeable is the fact that there are already many ppl that would dye it with abbys O_o

Major support for being able to dye the achievement armour.
Would love to get my hellfire gauntlets the right orange to match the destroyer staff my elementalist has, and the same goes with the smoky grey/navy blue sort of colour in it.
I agree that these armour pieces should be dyeable.
However, this needed to be done before they were released.
I specifically chose Hellfire over Radiant because I could not change the colour of the Radiant glow, so I would be mightily unimpressed if they retrospectively decided to make Radiant armour dyeable when I’ve already chosen the Hellfire gauntlets.

No.
Guild Wars 2 is not a sequel to the original Guild Wars but merely an alternative story setting.
