Guild Wars 2

Please, make dye colors account-wide. It’s a really long process obtaining all of them on a single char (I’m at ~5%), not to mention accross all of them.

Thanks!

They were account-wide until NCSoft got involved right before opening day. It made a lot angry back then, but has since gone by the wayside mostly.

Yeah, originally they were account wide, but shortly before release we got some smarmy bs post about how they wanted each character’s experience to be a unique adventure…..

And that right there is the primary reason I keep gem purchases to an absolute minimum, and I’m reminded of it every time I need to buy 8 bottles of each color instead of 1. With so many freaking colors(~400+) there is absolutely no reason (beyond cheap cash grabs) to make dye per character. None.

I (still, forever and for always) support account wide dye.

I personally agree with character bound.

But I could concide to having a dye become account bound after you have it on 4 characters.

So once say you put strawberry cream on 4 different characters it is unlocked for any others you have.

This maintains the balance of rarity and supply (for the most part) but allows players to potentially open up dyes for other characters without going crazy to do so if they have a lot. It would also encourage players to make new characters as their starting dye pool would be larger as time went on.

But that is about the closest I would go with in terms of making them account bound.
