Why not let achievement dyes work for looted gear, and let crafters dye the gear they make and allow it to be sold. I think its silly that dyed gear at least on the crafted end is bop cause of achievements.

    What's the most desired Dye, and hardest to achieve? Black dye from getting Legate in PvP.

    Now what happens when someone dyes the armor, and tries to sell it? The value of something that is nearly worthless boosts up tenfold, just because of the color.

    We also have to take into account that, this crafted gear which will most likely not be that great of gear due to others making lower leveled gear to make a profit, will be out lvled, and worthless in about an hour. Since there is no costume system in place (yet), the armor can not be kept to keep the color.

    Rare colors= Boosts price on useless armor, which in turn= unfair, and no one who is sane minded would buy anyways, due to the price.

    Of course, that's my own opinion. If I had rare dyes, I know I'd be selling low leveled gear through the roof. Easy to get mats, easy to craft, easy money.

    people should earn there own dye. That is kind of the point. There is an almost identical version for every rare dye.. even legate is almost exactly the same as colharbor ash

    What are you going to buy with all this money you want to amass?

    I just miss the days of games like swg where you crafted all you armor, and colored it to sell. And if it was just an built in coloring system for crafting. I honestly don't think it would drive prices up for rare colors..cause they wouldnt be rare anymore.

    Why KariTR, some of us are saving up for that day that will come when we can use ingame currency to purchase tokens to use in the Cash Store so we can finally buy that damn awesome Wolfhound pet! o:)

    If anything there should at least be a baseline coloring tool for gear that you are crafting..doesn't have to be the rare dyes

    the dye pallettes are crap imo anyway. theres not a decent red colour or a sort of olive green even with achievements. so everyone is using whatever black they have unlocked. i mean come on a proper deep dark red or maroon and dark olive green is basic. yet they put in loads of crap variations on beige and bright garish shades ... its very weak.

    and folk being all precious over keeping stuff for the raid achievements is just sad imo. i know some folk like to feel all "special " cos they went through a 20 min raid but complaining about folk getting to colour their armour... jesus i,m sure these people won't be happy untill everyone with the hel ra achievment get to wear a big flag saying "i'm awesome and your not"
