Guild Wars 2

While it makes sense for a red-themed dye to be for sale during the Valentines season, be warned: 250 gems could get you about 41 gold in exchange right now, and the most valuable dye you can pick from the swatch is Hot Pink from which you might make 2 gold selling (or have to pay 2 gold to acquire). You could probably get every single dye the swatch offers via the TP for less than what one swatch will cost you.

Please do your research and if you spend gems on the swatch do it with your eyes open to the cost.

There are other things to spend gems on that give much more bang for the buck. I enjoy shopping for fun stuff in the Gem Store and I don’t want people soured on it thanks to wasting gems on this particular item.

I thought 250 Gems for that Dye pack seemed a bit over-priced when I saw it. Maybe it’s a mistake?

That does seem rather odd. I hope it was a mistake. Otherwise it seems weird to sell an item for 250 gems that unlocks one dye that can be purchased for around 2 gold max. If not it seems like a gem store item that was made to take advantage of players that don’t know they can buy a dye from that set off the TP for just a few gold or less. Maybe the idea was that it has some value as a gift gem store item to allow the gift recipient to select a dye from ones they don’t already have, but even then it is still way over priced in my opinion.
