Guild Wars 2

I know a lot of people would love to have all dyes you acquire be available to all characters on your account rather than having to get duplicates for each of your characters, but I can also understand some reluctance on ArenaNet’s side to do so.

But how about this: What makes a “rare dye” so rare (other than the extremely low drop rate)? How about having rare dyes be account-wide dyes, and leave the uncommon and common ones as per-character? I’m not sure how difficult this would be to achieve on a programming level, but it would certainly make “rare” that much more great to get.

i say no. Dyes are decent gold sinks. I didnt like the idea of dyes being character-bound at first, but now I see why it makes sense. There has been whole war going on, yet anet stated clearly they are not going to change it.

I’m in the category of people who want them to be account-wide, the way ANet originally said they would be. Gold sinks are important, but I think there are plenty of other gold sinks in this game: waypoints, repairs, crafting costs, 15% trading post fees, the constant need for gathering tools and salvaging kits, and more. I don’t think we need dyes to be character restricted just so they act as another gold sink, and I’d be willing to bet ANet would instantly see a huge jump in cash-for-gem sales and dye pack purchases if they made unlocked dyes usable for every character on the account.

Yeah. I think all dyes should be account-wide.

Sedoks.3576:

Yeah. I think all dyes should be account-wide.

Yep, they definitely should… Having to get all dyes for every single character separately is a bit ridiculous IMO

Dyes are a gold sink? When did that happen?

Also, I’m one for making dyes account-wide. Not character-wide.
