Q:
Misleading dye description in the shop
All of the RNG dyes have been like that. A chance for the special ones, or a regular one that matches the color theme.
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.
It isn’t exactly false advertising when they tell you there is a chance at a new one and its not guaranteed. RNG sucks, but they tell you its RNG.
It’d only be false advertising if they didn’t give you a heads up about it being a random chance. It tells you there’s only a chance to get them before you purchase, AND you CAN use in game money to buy gems to buy them, if you don’t want to buy them out right from others who’ve put those colors up for sale.

I agree with both this and the OP. All of the previous dyes have been like this. It does clearly state this in the description of the item you are buying so if you didn’t read the description when you bought it then that is on you.
That said, they should give at one of the new dyes if you are going to buy them with gems. This is why I don’t buy them because I don’t want to pay that kind of money on a dye I already have and that sells for 90c.
The dyes are a ripoff.
Just get them off the TP.
RNG-style purchases stink. But, its not false advertising if they say that there’s a chance of acquisition.
I pretty much agree, TBH.
Not sure that it’s false advertising, as such, but still.
I don’t like the idea of gambling, especially with what might have originally been real money, in games.
Especially, as it could be a kid gambling…
Seems wrong.

Its not false advertising. It is a poor concept and a rip off though.
It’s not false advertising. It was clearly advertised as exactly what you got.
Don’t pay to gamble if you can’t afford to lose.
If enough people stop buying ridiculous RMT gamble things, they’ll stop making them.
Good luck with that.

They do <3 <3 <3 <3 their RNG gem store items. Either don’t buy or be prepared to buy but don’t get.
ANet may give it to you.
