Care to explain how someone in the preview managed to farm 55k to buy them from the trader just to dye their dervish/paragorn armor ?

Sure, they didn't... Black Dye could be obtained during the preview via the quest "To Dye For" and people were selling it for 3-5k, and no where near the usual price. You couldn't sell to traders, so people were willing to ditch the dye for much cheaper than they would normally get from the traders.

Some people were also giving their black dyes away to people to help provide examples of how armors looked dyed certain colors during the preview. My black dye during the preview went to a friend of mine with a dervish to see how it looked.

i found a black just while farming my (lowbie lvl 6) sunspear title.

I doubt they will nerf the dye quest (if you guys want to run it 50 times to get a black feel free, I got better plans tho)

ive only ever found 1 black dye in GW... about a month and a half ago in the Pre-Searing Catacombs from a devourer and i play a LOT :/

And as far as drops go, last night in ToPK, I got an ecto, another guy got an ecto, and another guy got a black dye... pretty good drops for the group.

Thats all i have to say on the matter.

If we don't, the chinese gold farmers will, either way I think we'll see the price of black dye fall into the price range where mixing it doesn't seem like a waste of money.

good point on that. i hope some people farm drake meat for the one quest I could not finish in the preview!! x.X

Yeah that quest must be to get more black dye in the mix. I don't know if they were normally intending any dye to cost that much. All you to do is keep recreating a character get the dye through it storage and repeat. From what I remember the quest wasn't that hard either.

for me the drake meat was fairly easy to get, there are a few drakes in the first explorable area right outside the door to the outpost where the meat collector is, I booted my heroes and solo'd them with my Paragon during the preview to get the meat. You could easily pull the drakes without aggroing the skales surrounding them.
