Apparently there was an exerpt from todays livestream about dyes?  Players are mentioning that they will now be account-bound.
 
 
Can anyone from Carbine shed some light on that?
 
 
Specifically, what is to occur with overlapping dyes?  I have invested quite a large sum of money ensuring all my toons have blackhole black and supernova white dyes available to them.  
 
Will the surplus be given back to the players, in the form of sellable dyes?

			Hope that's not the case.  That's pretty terrible to do.

			Meh, the gold I invested for dyes on all my characters has already gotten its use. Did they really say that dyes are gonna be account-bound come drop 6?? :O

I honestly can't see them giving dyes back to players and wouldn't expect it to, but rather jsut simply overwrite the existing yes and make them account bound if this is indeed happening.
 
The closest I can see is if the method they're using ends in he same result by which the marauder outfit was sent back to players unbound once the holo-wardrobe was implemented and those pieces they had bound became BoE. However I think that was the only or one of the few pieces that occurred with and may have been an oversight rather than intended to happen.

Yeah, don't hold your breath on that one, amigo. I have never heard of such a thing happening.
 
Thank you for your donation, though!

My answer, which has not really any weight on what Carbine will finally do, would be 'no'. There was a similar question made over the Strain Hoverboard a few drops back: Carbine dropped its price, and some people wanted a refund. They didn't got it, and the reason for that is something we can explain with reality.
Imagine you buy a new screen from screen-manufacturer WeMakeScreens. It's a brand new model, predictably it costs a ton of cash. So you buy it and get to use it right then. But a year later that model is not so new anymore, so WeMakeScreens decides to drop the price until it's half of what it was. 
 
Should you get a refund in that scenario? No, you shouldn't. It certainly sucks that you paid more for what it is now, sure, but you still got them before anyone who did wait until the price was halved. Plus, presumably, if you paid for it at that price it was because that screen was worth that money to you. There's something even worse, though: WeMakeScreens wouldn't be able to drop their prices ever, because then they'd have to refund the difference every time. They'd go broke.
 
The same happens with the dyes. You got expensive dyes for all your characters before the dyes were made account bound? Well, if you didn't think they were worth those prices, you wouldn't have paid for them in the first place. There's nothing to refund.
