Guild Wars 2

I didn’t know where else to post this, but this seemed like the right sub-forum.

I have to wonder if this has cropped up before; a quick search, and it doesn’t seem like anyone has mentioned it on these forums.

Only recently have i acquired rare dyes, three to be specific, and overall i have about twenty. I’m almost seventy-nine, and will most likely hit eighty today. There’s, what, 379 dyes? which can be obtained via various ways, however, i can’t believe that once you have a colour on one character, it’s not on another character.

Another thing that crops to mind, buying stuff from the gem store, which again isn’t given to all your characters, or so i believe. Not that i am saying that if you were to buy a gem pack, then all characters should get a gem pack, no, i am on about styles and the extra bag slots, and whatever else that’s reasonable.

I think the dyes should be account based and not character based. If I find a dye I like, why do I have to choose which character get to unlock it? Why can`t they just all have access to it once I consume it?

I agree. I would love to see dyes account bound.

The Beavs agrees.

I agree with this. I refuse to buy any Dye packs from the gem store until this happens. The same goes for appearance items from the store. I’m not buying them on a per character basis.

i concur…. at the moment all my alt’s seem to do is store stuff and “unlock” duplicate dyes.

i agree with dye account based, the other stuff i dont know

I agree with dye account based, but dont think Anet do that, cause pack of dyes you can buy from shop via gamestones

Same here. I loved the fact that costumes in GW1 were accountwide along with most of the other stuff you could buy in their store – and conversely I hate that most of the stuff in the GW2 store is character specific and/or single-use.

The dye system is the worst of it for me – it still pains me that they promised us during development that the dyes would be accountwide and then they just up and changed it without any justification beyond “we feel it works better this way”, which to me just translates to “we want to sell more dye packs by milking players who play multiple characters”.

The irony is I’d love to give them money (and already have for some accountwide stuff like bank tabs), but I’m not going to pay them for stuff that’s specifically designed to exploit the fact that I like playing multiple characters.

Agree, can we have this please?
