			As the name suggests WS should make coloring in a new costume a fixed price for all colors. The current system is horrible I have unlocked many of the prestige dyes and bought the white dye for around 28 plat. My problem is I don't see how its fair if I want to make a new costume and color it white I have to pay over 1plat for the color while other colors cost less then 70 silver. The whole system just seem like black hole on players currency. The case can be augured that only a level 50 would have white super nova and he probably has the money to pay for paint jobs. But its still a super unfair system especial now when drop 6 comes out which has a ton of new dyes and costumes for player to spend on.

I personally like changing up my costumes all the time, and I just don't use orange quality dyes at all because of this. I get that rare dyes should cost a bit more to use in a paying system, but paying 20-30p for it in the first place, then having to spend multiple plat every time you want to use it is kind of a slap in the face. 
 
Other oddities exist like, Shiny Yellow and Shockwave are almost identical colors, Shiny costs ~2g to dye my entire set, Shockwave costs 47g. Nova Grey costs me 37g to dye the set, Platinum Grey costs 77s, and again nearly identical colors. So guess which colors I'll never use even though I like it a bit better? Maybe I'm just a cheapskate, but it does annoy me. I'd prefer no or little cost to use dyes I've purchased/ground out.
 
That and make dyes account wide... for the love of god. :)

			I got the black hole and supervona white dyes from the eg bags...so consider me lucky not having to spend money to buy said dyes :).  That aside, I do agree that it is a pain sometimes to spend a plat or 2 on a color change but I see no change to this setup on the horizon unless I am behind the times.

Wildstar has some truly beautiful dyes and all the armour and costumes respond really well to dye (for the most part). Wonderful. But the whole system is wrecked by the exorbitant costs. And yes before anyone says "MMOs need gold sinks", they do. But they need consistent, sensible and fair gold sinks. Pointless having all these wonderful dyes if players aren't using half of them due to cost.
 
Dyes need to be account bound and free to use. Yes free. Then players can experiment with colour schemes and really express themselves. The cost / effort should be in acquiring the dyes, not using them.

			It's a fairly dated design element. Some dyes are so expensive to both use and acquire that they aren't an effective gold sink. If they are going to have a cost at all, it has to be standarized and somewhat low so people won't mind incurring that cost multiple times. Huge gold sinks are best reserved for vanity items that are permanent on a character. Mounts, costume and weapon pieces, decor, etc: Stuff that the player can reuse as many times as they like after buying it (if you get tired of a mount, you can change it for another and it will remain in your collection; if you change your weapon skin, the old one will still be there in the holo-wardrobe; decor you don't use anymore will be in the crate. You get the idea).

			Agreed, OP. Obtaining the dye? Fine, be expensive. Using the dye? That gold sink works better when the individual price flies under the radar, so that we then feel free to spend gold.

			Also allow us to dye housing decor as well... and mounts while your at it.

Well time to get out the paint roller and the black hole dye.

Now now if I was totally black none of you would trust me. I might as well go all out and have BLOOD RED EYES as well!
 
But I'm not Avatus.

That's good. Because if you were Avatus, we would have to put you back in the box.
