    Having to //dye people all the time, gets annoying, especially when they can't make up their mind.

    "gm, gm I want red... can I see black and green first"

    Dying is useless, it's just cosmetic. Sure it looks cute and all but having to dedicate time to it as a GM is stupid, as it only takes time from doing other things. And especially at the current times when 2.0 has just released and many players are still being hyper-actively busy asking questions.

    If anything will happen, Carl will only add dyes to the shop. If you want any special colors, farm petals.

    What could be done to just stop with all the people wanting dyes, is to make them dropped by mobs. Would only take a few minutes to add them, and it would be good to go.

    The whole custom color thing is lame... Ever since GamezAion introduced the //dye command, GMs have been getting PMs on each of their known characters requesting dyes. Dyes, dyes, dyes.

    Introducing it back would just be an annoyance all over again. So, yeah... In my opinion:

    - GMs sell dyes when they feel like it.
    -- You farm petals.
    --- Shop gets all the dyes.
    ---- Or... Ignore all the above and just add it to some mobs.

    You obviously didn't read what I posted/suggested.

    I agree that having to //dye people all the time and receiving PMs are annoying and I highlighted solutions to it.

    I also talked about adding more colors to the cash shop and how the current GM stalls don't work well.

    In fact, I pointed out right at the start that I understand it's annoying as hell.

    Lastly, dyes are no where near useless. Many people demand dyes. Esp in a high rates server like gamez, being able to modify your appearance is important since it's an activity that people can do. Actually, all aesthetic/cosmetic things are useful. You should note that vanity has a price and costumes sell for 750 credits.

    Maybe you're the practical player who doesn't care about looks/colors/etc. But majority of the server would have to disagree with ya. Need evidence? Price of dyes = 20X - 50X price of Anuharts. (and this is just one of them that I can think of)

    Yet... You suggest it to be put back.

    With something else to it, perhaps. But, it'd still be the same thing... //dye

    How is dying people not useless when GMs can be doing stuff much more productive?

    Also..

    The GMs do not under any circumstance have to show you what they do, when they do, or how they do it. That's what the admins have to worry about, not you.

    Why would I care about my looks? This is a PvP server... Not some RO server.

    Because some retards overprice dyes in case some desperate idiot buys them is not evidence of people wanting dyes.

    adding new dye colors is an illegal modification.

    Eh, sending dyes through mail and having a GM dye service (though WOULD be nice) would be too much work. The best solution is adding the unobtainable dye colors in the credit shop, such as true red, pink, blue, etc.

    @Cropolite

    You don't have to agree that vanity has a price but it does. It doesn't affect you then good for ya, but you're subjected to your own opinions.

    Ofc GMs don't have to show me what they're doing, I'm just speaking from my own experience as a GM on various servers. You don't have an issue with GMs then good for ya, again you're subjected to your own opionions.

    I suggested a dye event which is completely different from getting PMs at random times and answering to those requests. People can be organized via an event and time can be saved. This I can guarantee and I believe the GMs would agree with me. Proper organization with rules would rid the annoyance out of dye service; since you standardize it, you can regulate it.

    No retards overpriced anything. They're priced high cuz demand exist. I'm not here to debate with ya, only stating facts. You can flame or troll all you want. But since you don't even care about looks why are you even concerned? Since you don't care about what GMs do what do u bother with the fact that "they can better use their times"?

    Bottom-line: Anything that make the community happier is not useless.


    @Angal

    Just to clarify: When I suggest adding more colors I didn't mean adding custom colors. All I meant was to add all available colors to the cash shop since we only have Black, White and Red at the moment. While there're other colors like Musturd, Hot Pink, Hot Orange, Greentea, Olive Green and etc.

    I'm not sure if you were speaking from your own opinion through the whole GM thing, but nevertheless not the point.

    The GMs back then already stated that PMs asking for dyes would be ignored and only at a given time would they allow the dying of players. Where they would have to PM the GM, and they'd port them to their GM and do the rest.

    It was being kept in check back then, but it's not that easy on a server with over 2K players, especially not when over 50% barely understand English that well.

    Perhaps you're right, high demand high prices. That's logical.

    Eh? I never said I don't care what the GMs do, I simply stated this:

    To your bottom-line: There are many things that the community wants, and have been wanting for a long time now, and many still aren't showing hints of being in the process of happening.

    Nono you misunderstood.

    The old dye service worked like this:

    Players can PM ANYTIME if they pay 10mil for each part to be dyed.
    Player can PM ONLY DURING EVENT TIME if they want it for free.

    That's why I suggest doing event at a location where people can go there on their own. That'll get rid of the random PMs and people would have to follow instructions.

    As for my "accusations" on un-passionate GMs. Yes it's kinda off-topic but I just wanted to be a bit more critical. Many players have the same mindset as you and never question what GMs actually do. Conspiracies happen all the time; it can be tolerated as long as nothing goes overboard.

    It's like an economic cycle, GMs get bored after sometimes, and it'll be their "depression" time. I would prefer a system where new bloods are constantly hired or GMs work shifts so that they can take vacations. GMs should also have non-playable characters because it tends to create bias and drama. (But that creates no incentive for being a GM if they do not receive "salaries" and is hard to regulate/enforce)

    Anw that was entirely off-topic, just speaking purely from personal experience. So let's not debate on any of that.

    About Dyes, I think the easiest to do is to add all available colors to cash shop and let people buy with credits. I do advocate a lower credit price for them tho.

    Well, that was with some GMs, at my time it was usually whenever the GM announce that they'll start dying people that you can, but okai.

    Meh, the whole shop needs to be remodeled really.

    These are very reasonable suggestions. No flaming or stupid direction. I fully support and thank volt on these remarkable ideas. Let see if powers that be will make the change.

    Bump! I want that hot pink dye :( I don't know why they can't do it, it's better for them, more items in the web mall means more credits to spend and that means more donations..
