I agree. It occurred to me the other day that while the dye system in GW2 is one of my favorites, I couldn’t see myself buying another dye in the foreseeable future.
This is especially true for those of us who prefer to play a wide range of characters. Right now I have eight characters, one for each profession. And while I did buy dyes in the beginning, including a few rare ones, I can’t bring myself to do that anymore. Buying duplicates of blacks or whites or whatever just seems like a waste of money since I’ve already spent money on most of those dyes. And since the dye system seems to be set up with the goal of making it as easy as possible to make our characters unique, account bound dyes do that best.
In addition the dye packs in the gem store are just too expensive for far too little, especially because dyes are not account bound. Again, as much as I’ve been willing to spend money on this game, there’s no way I would spend real money on a handful of random dyes.
And this is coming from someone who is kinda addicted to dyes. I love finding new colors and I love almost everything about the system that’s set up in game. Despite that, I can’t see myself buying another dye while they’re only character bound.
