Dye Request, like Meld Request but with dyes!

[o3o]

what title says. really helpful for dying items that are not trade able. also makes it safer in case your trying to get something expensive dyed.

what do you guys think?

The dye system could just use a reworking in general. It was stupid to put only some in the cash shop and not others. Honestly, I don't know why they didn't just make them tradable among players or once you get one pot you have unlimited uses of it.

There's a reason why they made the rare dyes untradable. Limited supply = higher demand = more perceived value. Some people make money off this by selling dye services, some opt to dye all their things Jet Black, it's up to individual choice.

pls no

I get that, but what about untradable items? It just seems silly in its current form. It needs to be changed somehow. Either throw them all in the cash shop or have a dye request like the OP suggested.

Make cash shop dyes obtainable by other means.
I don't even care if it a 1:1000000 chance, just give me the opportunity to use the game to achieve what I want. Reward me for my playing rather than just paying you more. Paying real money isn't fun. Winning a special prize is. It's a theme park, so let's have a carnival.

if you state in chat with items, services, and gil, that if a player doesn't follow the agreed upon transaction, it is reportable and that SE can take action. Yeah, yeah, player dispute, but SE has also said that they cannot make rules for every little thing, and that player made agreements do have some power. I traded a 1 mil piece of gear to have it dyed, and I didn't get it back immediately. After they ported out, I reported him and Blister him. I later used that piece for glamor.

I'm wondering if that may actually be coming. We were just given the ability to have retainers outside at our estate. Right now, it doesn't make much of a difference BUT..

If your retainer could obtain a permit for melding and dying...that could a very good thing

I think retainer's quick venture brings those rare dyes. I've been getting odd-rare dyes from it lately. Can't be sure though, haven't cross checked with cash shop list. ^^;

Metallic red green and blue dyes are cash shop only.

please try to stay on topic, i want to know if you guys think it would be a nice idea, or why it would be a bad one.

for me, i see people putting up party finders all the time offering to dye gear with some of the rare dyes that cannot be traded. i wanted some of my pvp gear dyed pure white but that stuff binds the instant you get it. why i thought this might be a useful idea to make it a little bit better for everyone.
