Thoughts on if we hold off to use item if Shadow Dyes will be added to the selection. Has there been any word?

No word and my guess is no, they won’t add those dyes.
1) it would require them to update it
2) are they going to do this with each new set of dyes from now on?
3) it’s unfair to the people who got the dyes now and used them. It also would mean that people who came in later to the game get a wider selection than the vets from launch. Giving people who started later more options is bound to cause contention.
4) any dye sets not in the 3rd year present could be put in the 4th year present.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I think it would be a good thing if they added sets once they retire them, just as they add new hairstyles to hair kits bought long before the new style arrived. I have one guildie who has already managed to collect all the dyes. I’d love if she could save her birthday ones unopened until a new set arrives and is retired and then get them.

For those who haven’t got all of them, there are a lot of good ones in the kits. Surely there must be at least one as thrilling as Shadow Abyss?

I’m just sad that I’m missing close to 30 of the specialty dyes and don’t have nearly that many alts near their 3rd birthday. I’ve had to make some hard judgement calls about which ones take priority. Since I seldom have the wherewithal to collect all dyes in a set, I can only hope that as more of my alts age I’ll get a shot at future kits as well as the ones currently in the gifts.

Meanwhile I finally got Flame and Charred, two beautiful hues that eluded me back during Fire and Frost, and am very happy with that.
