I would be ecstatic if Anet released an update that gives players the ability to dye back items. Why you might ask? Because writhing hot pink tentacles on the sclerite karka shell would be epic and creepy/funny at the same time.
I’m glad others are thinking along the same lines. I’d like to be able to customize more aspects of my character. I like the idea of the back item cover, but I would be in love with the idea if I could have a bit more control over the appearance of the skin.
Part of the reason why I play games like this is to be able to customize a character. I’m going to be looking at my characters a lot as I play. I feel I should have the ability to make adjustments to my characters until I am reasonably satisfied with how they appear.
