Guild Wars 2

Originally dyes were account bound and untradeable. Then they were swapped to tradeable but soulbound on use. I can understand the reasoning behind this. However, a lot of the game has moved on to account binding so as to give the player greater flexibility in alt choice for individual tasks.

Still, I’d hate to gain account dyes at the cost of never being able to give any to my friends or toss extras on the TP. What if we went a middle ground, making dyes transferable between alts? You could still only use it on one character at a time. There could be a cost inherent in the swap to prevent just swapping it around as you relog (which would quickly become an annoying QoL issue). Maybe a gold per swap, to make it better to buy another copy of the dye unless it’s one of the very pricy ones. Maybe a gem store consumable used up for each transfer.

I don’t know that I’d use this feature much myself, I tend to weigh very carefully which alt gets what color and they don’t get valuable dyes until I am invested in their story. But for those who feel stuck playing a character that no longer excites them merely because they’ve invested too much customization into that alt, this might be a real boon.
