How Cash Shop Dyes Should Be Handled

Not sure I follow... How would that be gambling real currency? At worse your gambling Crysta, but even then you're not - you're earning it, I guess because you're earning it with a subscription? You cannot refund Crysta though, and Crysta is just another virtual currency (albeit one SE will let you buy to pay subscriptions with), so I don't see any issue. It would just be a sort of discount system for your subscription, not a gambling system.

You also buy the sub with crysta (I guess also for XI sub?). You also buy other services with crysta, like name change or server transfer.
100 crysta = 1$ or 1€

Also it would be not fair to contries who have no access to crysta, like australia.

My personal worry with the idea of "lets put the dyes in the cash shop but also in game" is that to me, it would likely exacerbate the idea that anything can be put in the cash shop. I'd like to be able to get anything in the game, but part of me also wants to be able to look at a player and know,"oh look, they're riding a bear, they've done a lot of tanking." (I doubt they'd sell the bear as it is incentive to tank, but it was the only example I could think of as an obvious example of an ingame achievement.)

Edit: I suppose that could be dealt with by having cash shop variants.

SE a word? Will these dyes be obtainable in-game sometime? They should.
