Whether you hate this or not, please stop using "optional" for everything in the game...

Of course everything is optional, but you should know what people mean. As of now, except for the wedding clothes (don't wanna wear that anyway), I have the exact same options for vanity as someone who buys everything in the cash shop... And while I can understand that some people want the dyes, I don't think I would use those dyes even if I had them. There are no vanity gear in the cash shop, and nobody have really cared for the minions and mounts in cash shop so far.

I actually feel just as gated from the metallic dyes we have right now, cause I'm very unlucky and can't seem to get them...

If you are one of the few that really must have the dyes, and don't see them as optional, then just buy them... Have to see the prices and stuff, but if it's not expensive, then you should not see it as a waste of money like many others...

Also, just because you really want something badly, doesn't make it any less optional... I love golf, and want new clubs very badly every time there is a new good one, that doesn't mean I have no option to not get them...
