Not the point. They increased the costs back up to close to what they were originally, and have given no good reason. Setting up a costume shouldn't cost as much as a new ingame house.

No. The increase since drop 6 is absurd. A color combination that once cost 20-30g now costs over 1p. Or you can spend real money in our cash shop! Teehee!

I do not possibly believe you are making 30+ plat from a couple hours farming who-knows-what in Malgrave. The dye gold sink worked great pre-drop 6 as most things were priced below a pain threshold. This let people feel comfortable changing out dyes whenever they felt like it and ultimately likely spending far more money in the long run than they will with the system as it is.

While i agree with the dye prices.. are u using the orange quality dyes or the new multi colored dyes.. i noticed the dyes that are multi colored costs more unless i had a missed observation.. which doesn't make much sense to me since you gotta pay real money for them.. they should be the cost of the white item dyes imo...

He probably means he's running around looking for Discoveries and then selling the outfits in the AH. They are at an high price right now. Which won't last once more players figure out what's available where and start farming the things for use or to make a profit themselves. The dye prices, though? They'll stay that way no matter what the players farm in game.

The dye prices are actually pretty nice as long as you are not at high levels. Then they get absurdly high thanks to scaling to your level (or perhaps ilevel, I'm not sure), the rarity of the gear, the rarity of the dye and which slots you are changing. The good thing is that the prices for rare dyes like Supernova White and the likes has gone massively down. The bad part is that everything else has gone massively up. This quote from Lemurian is completely right:

It's all a matter of how the player perceives the sink. High prices for using a dye are a bad ida: it discourages players from redying their outfits. Instead, they'll be more prone to spend it once if at all and then stay that way. It actually reduces the effectiveness of the gold sink. I'm not going to redye my outfit that often if for every time I have to change colors I have to waste a whole day doing dailies or farming for Discoveries in Malgrave.
