There needs to be gold sinks in the game to keep the economy even and fair. If everything in game was free, players could easily horde thousands upon thousands of plat and have nothing to spend it on. This would drive prices on the CX/AH even higher as 1 plat would be valued differently. Years of inflation would occur in a matter of days. As far as I know,the dye prices have been somewhat normalized, but still use the factors mentioned by Olivar to determine the overall price. There's like 350 red dyes in the game. Try dyeing with a different, cheaper red until you can afford the one you're after. If that's not something you can do, and farming isn't something you can do, then it looks like you're not going to be able to dye your gear that color.

Amp respecs are becoming free. Vendor cosmetics are cheap unless you go for the 130 plat hoverboard, but I doubt you'll see many people taking up that offer. Runes are not very expensive. Medisprays are dirt cheap. Rep items are cheap and 90% of them suck. Crafting is wildly inconsistent between professions, but generally only expensive while levelling it up. Repairs are no worse than the new dyeing costs.

Visual bug 100%. Are you sure you weren't mistaking g for p? It's not the most expensive "black", but it was never cheap.

I seem to remember that dye costs scaled with item level. They might have adjusted the pricing algorithm such that low level stuff doesn't discount it as much as it used to.
