Just dye your gloves whatever color you want. Black or White doesn't mean you are the coolest person ever. It's just a color. In my opinion, Black is a terrible color. It takes all the detail out of your armor.

Mix and Match dyes. Find a color that is unique and be your own person. Don't follow the crowd.

Maybe if black and white were just as common as other dyes this problem wouldn't happen.

I personally just try to get away with purple, silver/white, or yellow on everything. Those colors are the best IMO.

I meant chaos gloves :P. the real dilemna is , i thought they were cool before and planned on getting them, but when you walk into a town nowadays its full of shiny hands..

SpyderArachnid · Aug 03, 2009, 04:17 AM // 04:17

Get Destroyer Gauntlets then. Been awhile since I've seen those :P

Yeah but Chaos Gloves are extremely common these days. I see them all the time now. If you're set on getting them, dye them yellow or something. Most people do Pink, Red, or Blue nowadays.

Extremely common because money in GW is so easy to get now a days, that things like tormented weps and such are pocket change for most people.

Dye your gloves/armor whatever color YOU prefer. But, if you're interested in what "GW society" thinks, consider this: Coming up with a good looking dye combination for your armor will get you more "nice armor / cool color" comments than having black dyed stuff.

I cannot agree more. On my female monk I thought itd be cool to buy kurzick armor (standard) and dye it a mix of blue/green because i did not recall ever seeing it before. I go to ToA because at the time i was into fow sc and many people would tell my my armor is cool. Two weeks later, I start noticing many male monks with the same color combo on the same armor and even some female monks. I'm 100% positive i did not "create" this armor scheme but i only started noticing how people would tell me how cool it looks then id see other people with it two weeks later

You're so cool.

Anyway, I'd just go with with the color it comes in, grey.

I hope you're not planning on getting something just to impress other people. People really don't care about what armor you're wearing or what title you've got. A unique armor combination or dye color may get some attention but I've never seen it happen.

FengShuiDove · Aug 03, 2009, 07:25 AM // 07:25

Fight the man. Black + White. Be so much cooler than everyone else that they don't even realize you're cooler than them.

This forum needs an Agony Aunt section.

Dear Aunty Abby
I bought some new gloves but no one will talk to me any more, they say I have no fashion sense.

Dear Reader
Take no notice people can be so cruel about these things etc etc

paddymew · Aug 03, 2009, 09:28 AM // 09:28

Green is the answer to all of your problems.

Purple / Green / Blue ftw! Gogogo!

I use green, yellow and silver for most of my armor sets. Like the color at the moment.

After almost 5 years everyone will have enough money. If all get an assassin char. (at the moment) everyone will have even more money...

ManiGio565 · Aug 03, 2009, 11:47 AM // 11:47

Green and silver mix looks really nice. The silver dye seems to bring out the armor pattern, making it look more defined/crisp. It just comes down to what you really like colour wise. Maybe experiment a few dyes to find out what suits you the most
