I'm going to try not to sound rude but this is getting ridiculous. Who decided adding random pigments to the hot colors pack was a good idea? Because I would love to have some words with them let me tell you!

Isn't there a way you guys could take them out of the pack or at least make the chance you'll get them significantly less?

I just bought six hot color packs and got 5 random pigments and 1 aquamarine. Not one, not two, but FIVE random pigments? There has to be a line somewhere surely. b:cry

    While I don't generally bother with fashion, I do think that random pigments should be completely removed from the color packs. You can already buy random pigments by themselves, I think it's a safe bet that if people are buying color packs then they want actual colors.

    *Edit*
    Probably won't happen, though. People will still buy them, and the more random it is the more people will HAVE to buy to get what they want.

    ... I'm about ready to stop buying pigments from the cash shop period.

    Of the last 12+ hot packs I've bought only 3-4 of them have been actual dyes, the rest have all been random pigments.

    That's because solid black is all R0/G0/B0, all the time. XD It doesn't even look real. If you want an actual realistic look with some shine on it, you need to get a randomized, near-black color. :P

    Buuuut tell that to the suckers paying 500k per black pigment. XD

    If I was still trying to put together an outfit, I wouldn't even bother with pigments. (On Sanctuary at least) there are always tons of people selling clothes from the cash shop ... in the auction house and in their cat shops. Decide what you want and keep a patient eye open. You can get a completely matching outfit for a reasonable price if you are not in a complete hurry.

    Also, if you see something you want in a cat shop for several days or even a week or longer, just leave them a message, offering a lower price. I have done this a few times with favorable results.

    Sanctuary's economy seems to be really bugged up right now and I'm not even sure as to why any more.

    Between the prices for items and the way gold has been fluctuating it's crazy really.

    I had heard selling pigments was a good way to earn coin on the side and since I was after dye colors I figured hey, two bird with one stone right? Well it worked fine for a while and then seemingly the dye market practically crashed so... back to about where I started now. Largely because I spent so much on what ended up being random pigments + getting an outfit together for my veno. Oh well.

    I agree, there's no reason why the random colors are even in the hot colors pack, you can already buy them seperately and the sell in a catshop for so much less than an actual pigment, so you have even a harder time of selling the pigment you have in order to buy the one you want.
