thoughts of flame and frost dye.
They are still very obtainable. Obtaining these dyes is not a need to play this game it is simply aesthetic. You can still purchase them while they are on the trading post. So everything seems fine to me.

i don’t understand why anet made these colors limited, this is disappointing
It works on many levels for anet economically:
- During the limited period it boosts sales of the dye kits and thus gems
- After the event, the tiny amount of finite supply leads to elevated TP prices for said dyes, and thus encourages gem sales to convert to gold.
- The inherently high trade value of dyes leads to high listing costs and taxes, thus providing a decent amount of gold being taken out the system
Arenanet has to put shoes on the feet of their NPC’s somehow – and this seems like one of the less intrusive ways of doing it.

These dyes are still available on the TP. Most of them have 50+ available.
They are as expensive as people are willing to pay for them. If you want them that bad then you are welcome to buy them like everyone else. I fail to see the problem.
Why weren’t you complaining when they were 4-8g each? Were the colors less appealing then? I think most likely you missed out on an opportunity to make money so you are trying to punish other people for it.

lol ditto :o
the irony was you could of bought 3-4 of those dyes with that 25g, lesson learn methinks.
They are still available on the trade post, and even though that shows a limited availability I can promise you there are more stockpiled away in banks. They will trickle into the market slowly unless ANet pulls one over on us and the “limited time sale” turns out to not be true like it was for the minis.

I remember reading posts here to just buy the dyes on the TP. They were all half or less what they are now. I bought a few random packs myself, realized how rare they were then took the advice of the forums and bought the colors I wanted.
Some of them are still relatively low priced imho given that they have better detailing than other expensive dyes (abyss/celestial)and the higher rarity (gem purchase rng only).
