No, they just completely lock players out of being able to get certain items, despite the item still being there in the coding. The way SE did it, people can still get the old stuff, and they can focus the new events on new stuff instead. Much better imo. as for the comment about "would have got from retainers" You never know that was the original intent for those dyes. They easily could have been crafted, or quested for, limiting you to 1 or 2 pots. Hell, for all I know the other dyes aren't in retainers either, I've never ONCE seen any of my FOUR retainers bring me back a jet black dye.
