New Dyes?

I'd be happy if the pigments could be gathered from unspoiled nodes, and the dyes unlocked by level 50 DoH.

It would seem that a lot of people seem to forget this is a game. And for the most part, games offer hurdles or challenges to overcome, in this case you could involve the crafting/gathering classes.

You're missing the point. Gating things that inflict ACTUAL changes upon gameplay is fine. Gating things that have absolutely zero impact upon gameplay, like dye, or another popular topic, AF aug's, is wrong. It's purely visual. It has 0 impact on what you or anyone else does. Creating artificial demand by trying to gate things like this is, well, dumb. Plain and simple. If Yoshi wants crafters to be relevant, why not make it so you don't get gear from Raids and Primals, you get a drop that has to be CRAFTED into a weapon/armor/etc?

Gating COLORS of all the things in the world is atrocious. You want to make those 3* crafters feel important? Make them the only guys who can make new tier weapons when Coil 3 is released.

If I were you I'd put my gils back my pockets, they are tagged as "untradable" so you can't sell them. Probably something you'll buy with some sort of currency, my guess is Allied Seal.

Chocobo Racing prize confirmed.

[COLOR="#696969"]Most things in this game are spoon-fed to us with minimal effort.

Most?

Pretty much everything they've added for Vanity is either insanely expensive to make or so rare as not to be anything other than a myth.

SE caters to the richest of the playerbase... aka the top 1-2% or so with most of what they do. Other games make it far easier to get similar things, and know what? It didnt ruin those games. What a concept.

Go get me a Coeurl Swimsuit.... Show me how "easy" that is compared to other games that simply let you buy casual wear for cheap since it has no combat stats or real value.

The recent housing debacle just more proof of it......

[Teirshin]

I'd like to direct you to Guild Wars 2 Dye system where some dyes are a lot rarer; thus causing them to be more expensive.

And they let those dyes be shared across all alts.... along with relics..... etc.

They balance it out that way, SE has no balance. Hell you cant even mail items between your own characters FFS.

[NorthernLadMSP]

Agreed. I think some of these simple things like the new vanity gear (swimsuits, nightgowns, and probably these new dyes) being so gated that only ultra rich people who craft (or gil buyers) can purchase them is ridiculous.

Chocobo Racing prize confirmed.

Really?

Do you have a link? if it's true then maybe we'll get the gold saucer at the 2.4 (not really feeling safe when the rush something though)

And how long did it take Arena Net to make dyes and relics account wide after they were introduced? Exactly. Things take time to be doctored to more reasonable standards. Remember when Arena Net said they were never going to make dyes account wide? Give it time; Square-Enix will come around soon.

Moot point since in FFXIV dyes are a one use item..... get a dye in GW2 and use it a billion times if you want.

SE wont remove a Gil sink, ever.

ArenaNet has been removing limitations since launch, SE keeps finding new ones to add.

Was a joke, sorry. :P I do hope they give us Gold Saucer soon though...
