I have an idea for the costumes that you purchase on-line with real money. Can you please change them to have a dye selector window like the PvP equipment window where you don't have to buy dye for them. This is my issue: I didn't buy one of the costumes, but those items that people are buying with real money are affecting the in game currency due to the fact that the people who bought them have to buy in-game dye for the costumes. I don't agree with micro-transactions affecting the in-game economy. Thanks for your time.

yeh the designiners(for the most part) dont read these threads.. + they are currently working on 2 major updates. I agree with waht you are saying but try and find(somewhere) on the NCSoft site the designers emails. If you can find it and email them tell them about this issue.. they might clear it up.

but in essence /sign this

Does that mean that character slots bought with microtransactions shouldn't get item drops because it affects the game economy?

You want to buy dye, but because a lot of people are buying dye the price has gone up? Sorry, but I don't care where the items came from people are dying, it is an in game item, it should be handled just like everything else. Give it a month and any dye pricing problems will have gone away. I rememeber the very first dyable mask given out at an event. Dye was SOLD OUT at the merchant. Yet if people waited a week, the prices were back to normal.

i agree, except for the part that those masks were in-game items. i don't care if in game items affect the economy. i just care if micro-transactions affect it. Apples and oranges.

Behold, a vial of dye, purchased for use on a costume. Notice the ferocious teeth, with which it rips apart the economy.



ArenaNet, you must put a stop to this, before it's too late.

The fact that Dwayna's Regalia is dyed white by default isn't enough? That's ~5k dye-job for free to you every time you create a costume. ~10k if you make costume + headpiece.

Also you need 10g for each hat at Festival hat keeper. Costume maker makes costumes for free.

I really do not see this as a problem. Coughing up money for dye is no big deal, and if it's too much for you, you can just not buy dye.

Save some dyes. Always keep 1 dye storage of each color.

Course I guess I could try to fit in/sound intelligent/sound cool and simply say "dyes r srs bsnss." I definitely feel better by using such a creative catch phrase

So, micro transactions is your only problem? Dye because of micro transactions? Maybe the PvP community that has been around since the beginning should complain about micro transactions too. I mean they had to unlock all the skills, runes, insignias, inscriptions, mods, etc. by playing PvE or using Balthazar Faction. Now people can start from DAY ONE with EVERYTHING unlocked because of the PvP unlock packs. UNFAIR!!!!!

Dude, seriously.... get over it, it won't last long anyway. As I stated before, this happened with masks. The shortage of dye and the prices was only about a week long.

I support this, simple because people are dying to get this kind of quality.

.......No, I don't have anything better to do.

Dye = money taken out of the economy (Provided the dye is used.)

This = less money in circulation.

Furthermore, this = a good thing.
