Guild Wars 2

I have found a big increase in Unid dye drops for me lately and the prices has been diving as well. Have they increased the drop rates once again?

just more ppl playing → more dye in the market → price go down

If you look at the graphs, supply and demand have been more or less stable for a while. With the exception of the 17th when someone either filled a metric kittenton of buy orders or all the buy orders were cancelled and put back up at a lower price point. The price took a huge dive and has stayed there.

That said, I have noticed an increase in drops myself, going from 1-2 per 3-4 hours of game time to 4-5 in the same timeframe.

They also added un-ided dye to the black lion chests so that was a huge influx of dye into the game and probably what caused the drop.

Don’t say that, or they will nerf it to the ground more.

Please elaborate. Who specifically do you mean with “they” and why would they nerf something?

I play very casually and I usually get 1 or 2 days an evening, consistently. I noticed far fewer drops on my lvl 80 and more on my alts. Could be coincidence though but to me it feels like a low level drop that replaces white armor. Since this drops less at higher levels, dye also drops less.

Maybe it’s alt season. I imagine most people are about done with their main by know and up for something new.

I have 6 characters that I play at random depending on my mood and sometimes I can get a bunch of dyes in a single play session and sometimes I get very few. It’s completely random.

Oh well. Just a thought.

More people playing also means more people buying, which maintains the same price.

My guess is that they’re trying to find the sweet spot for the dyes, and tweaking the drop rate behind the scenes…
