Guild Wars 2

Hi,
So I spent 125 gems on one flame dye kit. Never did I think that the dye would indentify as something that I already have unlocked!! What a waste of kitten money.

I really thought that arenanet/GW2 would be fair/intuitive enough to not give you a dye that you already have when you spend gems.

Lame and unfair.
Im not going to whine too much about it, but I want my 125 gems back. This is kind of cheap.

I just received TWO (2) GRAY dyes twice for purchasing the flame kit. TWICE.

It’s just like an unidentified dye but with a smaller pool to choose from. Have you never gotten a repeat double clicking on an unidentified dye before?

Where did it say that you would be guaranteed to get a color you don’t have?

125 gems is kind of cheap for a lesson in random result tables: they’re random and they don’t give a gob of snot what results you’ve had previously.

Did you learn the lesson?

The real lesson here is to patrol the forums and realize that 500 other people complained about this before you made your purchase. They’re out to make money, its not about being fair, or doing what is seemingly logical. It may not be the most consumer friendly approach but it has been working very well for them so far so they really don’t have a reason yet to change their approach.

Thats the sad part, that it still works so far, players still falling for this kitten.

25 possible colors and only 6 new ones, for 125 gems.
Gambling yet again.

You can’t give out only dyes that people haven’t unlocked because it is easily exploitable. I would just unlock every dye except the 2 most expensive and then buy a ton of packs and make myself rich.

Which, of course, would quickly crash the market, making dyes worthless. . .

I don’t really see the issue here. You took a risk, it didn’t pay off. I don’t see how time and time again people will use their money on things they KNOW aren’t guaranteed, and then still complain about it.
