I've found 3 silver dyes, a black dye, a blue dye and a purple dye in less than 5 hours... pre-searing!!!
Anyone else have seen that the drop rate of rare dyes as increased this weekend?

MAYBE... I have found quite a few dyes the last couple of days.
Pre-searing dye drops have always been higher than the rest of the game, though, so you can't judge by your experience alone.

dye drops in pre-sear are pretty common

The only thing i noticed so far is the thing that Dye Drops are very unbalanced for me. It is kinda ridiculous to get the drops as following:
02 Red
01 Blue
19 Silver
00 Black
00 Purple
05 Yellow
04 Green
etc
The game is mocking me

i get a lot of silver dye in pre-searing than post-searing. so far i've only gotten one black dye drop in post-searing.
Arrow Whisper
Yes clearly the game needs a dye trader for the PvP crowd...
salja Wachi

I think the reason dye drops are high in pre searing is that there are no purple or gold drops in pre sear and that all drops that were suppose to be rare drops are instead dyes

Nor sure how many hours I have in over all my characters but I've never sold or used a dye. Currently I have in 56 storage:
11 - Green
09 - Orange
09 - Silver
08 - Red
06 - Purple
05 - Yellow
05 - Blue
03 - Black
No real idea how much of it was pre- and post-searing except I know all of black was post-searing. I didn't get any black until all my PvEs were post-searing. Only one I saw drop pre-searing went to my hunting companion on a expedition north of the wall. That was close to release and he sold it for about 1.5k after we got to Old Ascalon.

I hate that stupid dye trader
Shadowsting
Hmm..........The game mocks me. On my main character, the only type of dye I ever got for two weeks was orange........GAH!
The Destroyer
I have noticed an increase in Dye drops as well. Helping a guildie in post searing ascalon last night i got 8 black dye drops in a row. Im not talking 8 over entire map ended up 14 over entire map. I am talking the first 8 monsters I dropped for her dropped black dye. I think A-Net is trying to drop the prices of Dye by increasing the drop rate. Just my 2 cents

if this statement is true it's just more proof that ArenaNet needs to employ someone with an economics degree to handle their economy issues....doing this would essentially be the same as attempting to decrease the value of ferrari's by flooding the market with them...it's only going to increase the value of Lamborghinis or Aston Martins or Bently's...it doesn't remedy the situation.
Nexx
Silvers are quite o'plenty these days. I think for every 10 basic color dye I've came across, I usally find 1~2 silvers. Not that bad really. But man, I find a lot of purples ones! =[
Sir Skullcrasher
i got two dye drop on one trip when i went on a killing spreed on those damn charrs but so far, no sliver dye for me, all i got is yellow, blue, green, and red. 
Cs Coldize
wow I wish I was as lucky as all of you but I dont farm that much so I cant say. But I have noticed an increase in dye drops. Over the last 2 weeks, I have found 3 yellow, 1 green, and 2 purple. Thats a LOT for me cause those would be like my first dyes since Ruins of Surmia.

Well, thats not really right, the price for other dyes would probably go down if black dye was easier to get as thats what alot of people want anyway, their just willing to settle for something else because black dye isn't worth the ~4k each to them.
The Destroyer
I am hanging on to all those black Dyes I got to see if this really is another attempt to change the market price for dye by anet. I have my armor just how I like it so we will see if black dye drops like a rock in price.

you're only taking into consideration dye....right now black dye is the GW cow. It sells for an absurd amount of money for what it actually is....if black dye stops being the cow...something ELSE will take it's place. What that item is I don't know...nobody can. But there will always be SOMETHING that is overpriced because of it's rarity. Increasing the drop rates of the current cow is only going to push something else into rarity...it's all relative.
