My suggestion is simple. Make a profession’s visual effects for certain things dyable. For example, a mesmer’s butterflies can be dyed. You could select black for example, and the pink chronomancer’s shield skill would appear to become a blackish shade. The butterflies on shatter would also become black. Allow this for all classes, for example the black shadowstep effect could be dyed for a thief. The color of the discodisk can be dyed for Revs, and their glowy hand thing. This would promote buying dyes, and would allow role players to better customize their character. For example, what if a role player wants a thief to be camo, and use the forest (and doesn’t want a ranger). They could just dye it green.

Think of the money they make off weapons and armor…
I have mixed feelings about it, same as I had mixed feelings about outfits killing the concept of looking like your weight class. Customization is great, but visual identity is underrated, too, in my opinion.
