I’d really like to see the dyes you bought be unlocked on all characters rather than just one so you don’t have to repurchase everything again.

I would like this to become a reality as much as you, but I highly doubt it’s going to happen. Even though they specifically said pre-release that dyes would be unlocked across your account, they later changed their minds for no discernible reason and today dyes are only unlocked on a per character basis.

If such an option were to ever make it’s way into the game, I’d bet you anything they would charge an arm and a leg for it.

edit: It appears ANet deleted all the older blog posts from before launch, but it’s quite easy to dig up anyway: http://pep-guild.guildlaunch.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5665524

“Once you unlock the color, it will be available across your entire account, not just the individual character.”

I know things change during development but the demoting of dyes from account-wide to per-character just wreaks of cash shop greed in my opinion.

Yes, yes, the cash shop greed. Reasons of most space.
Above that, its still not leading anywhere…
Think through what would be the effects of making Dyes Account-Bound;

  • People will buy up some dyes from the TP
  • Then the prices will forced up in first wave, because logically it will worth more
  • Then the prices will drop since people will not buy the same dyes for each character
  • And finally, we end up having most of the liked colors, being happy and bit more customized

Apart from the fact we hate RNG, the current system works well and a dozen of dyes are “Elite”, but not really noticeable tho.
This is where AN should offer Texture Dyes for fix prices on GemStore.
Would make a nice new fashion

Just please, for god’s shake, do not release RNG boxes…
Do not even let locked BL chests drop… Open or Nothing -.-’
There is no even a way to craft a key for that with the unuseable stacked Ascended Materials…

Actually it’s very discernible, money. Dye packs and what not.

A lot of people would go berserk (rightfully) after buying say the Abyss and Charred dye across multiple characters.
