Um can't you trade armors etc so other people after the event is able to dye them for you? wouldn't that set up a new sort of business.

I'm so buying a stack of these (maybe 2).

I loves me some pink (although price gouging people in a year ).

Making money off of cancer awareness? Ron Burgundy wouldn't waste the breath of telling you to, "Stay Classy". Only in Tyria.

I'm not even interested in the pink dye personally. I just think it should be a fixture in this game and should've been for awhile now.
Yeah, I don't really get it.

so...would dying a weapon pink weapon and selling it in july make its value higher? it's rare since the dye isn't available anymore.
I was wondering this, but then about the things like bags. Seeing you can't mix on those, this is a 1time chance to make some.

Tough luck, KJ. The pink dye is untradeable.

Chaos axes have always dyed inversely. That's not a new phenom, dude.

I have no idea why people are willing to buy so much, I am sure it will be back for next year.

I bought enough to dye stuff throughout the year.....so if I need it I have it, and since it was cheap I can also experiment with it (and the other cheap dyes)...I am just glad they did it, whether they bring it back or not.

I can't say I'm wild about this shade of pink on most of the stuff I've tried it on, but I've been able to mix up some prettier shades with it! I was finally able to mix up a shade that wasn't too purple or super dark on my monk's obsidian armor.

Now to tackle my warrior's primeval...

They might. They might not. If you're willing to risk the headache of mixing until you get an acceptable pink, you're certainly free to chance it. Some of us have lovely armor shades that can no longer be matched in the new dye system. And some of those lovely shades were the result of a truly painstaking effort to achieve the *right* color. The value of a readily available pink..... Well, it's a powerful lure to those of us who play Barbie Wars.

It's a special promotion for Breast Cancer Awareness. Gamers Giving Back hosted a fundraiser site and prizes were donated by assorted philanthropic benefactors. Anet stepped in with pink dye and a trader to sell it. Prizes were awarded by random drawing. A community event to raise awareness and promote the fundraising was held in LA ID1. The dye trader will leave us at the end of the month since that will be the end of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

I've got a better question.

Can this pink dye be replicated without having to use 14 different dyes?

No. Since they changed the dyes and the dying system several years ago, it has been impossible to get a good pink. Which is why we are so grateful for the Pink Dye. Hopefully it will return next October.

A question, is the pink dye thing a one-time temporary thing (because the only time ArenaNet does one-time temporary items are the masks offered in holiday special events), an eventual permanent addition to the game, or a yearly basis like Halloween?
