Default Disappointment with the double dye weekend

Well in my opinion the weekend was a waste i spend nearly 50 hours farming for dye all over elona and found 3 dye, 2 brown and a green. on an average i will find double if not tripple that amount in 30 hours of play. I want to hear if any one else had feelings like this because im now sad because I wasted that time looking for what wasnt there.

No noticable drop rate increase here, as a matter of fact, I found more dye farming Charr carvings during Halloween then I did farming for dye. After all night friday hoping for dye drops I gave up and continued on with the game.

I didn't get any dye, and I don't care. It's just... dyes.

I got a total of 1 puple dye in Elona all weekend.. Got a white helping my son in Shing Jea (not part of the Double Dye thing). I played about 25-30 hours over the course of the weekend, all but about 3 hours of it in Elona.

I usually average about 1 dye every 5 hrs or so.. So not so great for me.. oh well.. not the end of the world.. WOuld rather have a double rune weekend personally so the supplies can get restocked and the prices a little closer to normal.

I got 2 and my husband got 1. However, we don't typically net that much dye anyway, so I'm cool with that. I'm almost thinking it had to be tweaked just a little more to really matter (maybe 3x...).

But it was decent incentive for the dye hoarder types to farm a bit (I *love* stockpiling dyes and suck at it).

I found that Olias and Jin were secretly stealing all my dye drops. They had decided to sell them Varesh since she needed them to keep her multi-colored robes from fading in the Elonian sun...

I played all weekend. My grand total is now 2 yellow dyes. Go me!

LoL, double dye...Riiiight. Instead of .00000000000001 is it (.00000000000001 x 2)? Woohoo, my chances went to .000000000001.

cheers!

I played almost the whole weekend, and was hoping for a dye drop the whole time, but I didn't get a single one! Towards the end of the weekend, I got so depress about not getting dyes, I ended up buying them from the merchant so I could re-dye some of my armors with the improved dye system. Well I guess it was double dyes.. buying double the amount of dyes that is...
