I’ve wanted Legate Black for 7 years and I still don’t have it LOL. I always use the Void dye instead…
I think GW2, dyes are unlocked using items (like our runeboxes), and I think their shiny dyes are drops from trials? I certainly wouldn’t mind runebox style dyes, gives everyone more things to sell (and effectively trade) since dyes come from all parts of the game.
Or just a vendor, I don’t really care. Dyes have pushed me to get some achievements but I don’t think they’re achievements that particularly need dyes to entice people. And fashion is for everyone!
