Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen a lot of people discussing the idea of having dyes be account bound and I have a proposal that I think could be a good compromise between both viewpoints.

Make a section of the collectible storage specifically for dyes.

1.)This keeps dyes character bound so we don’t have to worry about any adverse impacts on the economy. I can’t see any reason why this would impact the value of dyes.

2.)Having a collectible section would allow us to preview dyes we don’t have which would allow people to more easily pick a specific dye they want. This also give the player the same feeling of total customization without removing the need to collect or hurting the value of dyes. This also lets players see how each dye will effect each type of material it’s on more easily. I think this would also help some players feel less like they NEED to collect all the dyes. I for one really enjoy playing with the various color options I have and I would love and easy way to preview and set goals. This would work almost identically to the PvP locker where you can preview any armor you want so you know what you think looks best without having to get it first.

3.)There are many of players (me included) that save our dyes because we’re not sure which character we want to put it on. I ended up buying 2 extra bank panes to store all my dyes. As far as I’m aware there are something like 400 dyes I feel that a number like that coupled with the fact that dyes are character bound will put many players in an uncomfortable position. This is certainly not Anets fault but I think there is a pretty easy solution that can benefit everyone.

I support this. If you care about your characters’ colour schemes you want to hold onto dyes, but there’s just too dang many for conventional storage.
