It would be nice if they were account bound instead of character specific.
I have only used a single dye (Silver Lead on my warrior for better armor look.) and have approximately 40 dyes saved up because I don’t want to use them ‘per character’.
I’ve read a few other threads stating this but they all end up locked because they were in the ‘wrong’ sub-forum.
This is probably the one major flaw I’ve seen so far in the game, which would disavow me from even considering purchasing gems on the store.
I find it slightly disturbing that game developers are making things ‘character specific’ as I’m an altoholic and tend to create a new character or delete and rebuild characters ‘on a whim’.
An example of why this is bad : I was over on Star Trek Online and they had a ‘25th Anniversary’ celebration going, and the things you could earn were ‘character specific’. So therefore, an event that came around ONCE IN A LIFETIME was given to a few specific characters and they (the players) could never again earn it or use it.
I realize that they want us to be purchasing dyes in their in-game store, or via the trading post but I’m the type of person that never purchases frivolous fluff like this from in-game stores. The types of things I use in-game Real Life currency on is more storage or buying expansions or more character slots.
(I was over on LOTRO for a year and used my monthly stipend to buy 2 of their expansions via their store and their cross account bank and wardrobe storage. When I ran out of things like that to purchase towards the end, I bought a bunch of character slots and a few emotes that I hadn’t been able to earn in-game. I left the game with a big pile of their currency so if I ever come back I can buy more expansions/more storage/more character slots.)
I will probably continue holding onto these dyes if they remain ‘character specific’ and since there is probably over 100 dyes, sooner or later it will make it so I have no remaining storage left, at which point I will probably leave the game rather than purchase more storage. I don’t like games that have what is similar to a repeating/infinity loop when it comes to items.
This is just my opinion, I gather I’m somewhat unique in my views.
