Double Dye Weekend Issues

I've gotten two dyes so far yesterday just from questing in full 8 man hench groups for a bit. I even forgot it was Double Dye Drop weekend until I saw this thread.

When leveling up my Dervish(and getting sunspear points) I didn't use henches or heros. Just my Dervish alone and just about everything I killed dropped something. And sometimes I got one, two, or three dyes in a run. And in some runs, none.

I've gotten about 4 in the past two days, definatly an increase for me.... thing is they're mostly ugly. Two orange a yellow and... I think a purple.

I already had one orange I can't get rid of. Who dyes their stuff Orange? *shakes head* Where they green I wouldn't complain.

I've been playing for about 8 months now and still haven't seen a black.

I just got 7 dye drops on the newbie island running around with my main for about an hour.
2 green
1 blue
1 brown
2 yellow
1 purple

10 dyes in roughly 1 hour running around noob island with my ranger, no whites or blacks though

2 Black 1 silver 1 brown 3 red But i have been changing out characters

ive only got 2- a green last night and a yellow this morning

I normally get a dye or two everyday......yesterday yielded only 1.....my hubby usually gets tons---none for him.....
so double for whom I ask.

I have been doing elona----was getting more dyes BEFORE the 'double dye' weekend.....my hubby has been getting keys, he thinks that those should have been dyes....whatever. Will do some more today and see how we fair.

(our newbie characters even usually get one or two dyes a day as well....so we'll run them and see if they get some today)

Plains of Jarin, about an hour and a half. I got 2 purples, a silver, a blue, a green, and... 3 oranges. Now, I can say exactly half of the dye I have gotten in Elona is Orange. I hate orange.

Anyways, I was soloing my level 20 dervish on the Plains of Jarin, and killing everything. Managed to pick up every green on that map as well.

I realy think they need to revamp the Whole drop system I have not got a single dye drop yesterday and played for several hours my drop rate on any good items is bad. As mamy time as I have done FOW not a single ecto and my freinds and guildies get them all the time I think that there is some bug in the game that is limiting drops for some players when I started playing this game I use to get dye drops a lot like 5 black in the first mounth or so now I havent had a black dye in close to a year and very little of any other colors. Well I did get a white dye on the first day of Night fall and one brown a couple of days ago but that is it

I can't complain. Dyes aren't exactly falling from the sky, but I've gotten more this weekend than ever. Funny thing is I've had more silver drop for me than any other dye. I thought it was supposed to be somewhat rare. Not like black (or now, white), but still fairly rare.

3 browns
3 greens
3 reds
1 yellow
1 orange
1 black
2 blues
2 purples
7 silvers

^^ - Go away I hate you! Sigh.



I must be the unluckiest player!
After doing lot of quests in the mainland in Elona and not getting a single drop of dyes; even orange and yellow would have been fine, I tried to go solo in the noob island.
I run every where not once but twice, getting bored to the limit and no dyes, no greens no gold ......nothing!

This was the most wasted time I have ever had on this game! I'll never trust ANet again on their so called "weekedn events".
I'm very disappointed, most of all because I realized I'm very unlucky at this game.

I'll keep playing on and enjoying the scenary ...... at least they cannot take that away from me! :P

i havent played the game in a week, and i still have yet to see a single dye drop after 2 hours

3 Brown Dyes after about 5 hours of playing =/

Six hours, not, a, one.

I got three dyes in a single run through one region.
One green.
One orange.
One silver.

I'm happy.

On my other character, I got a brown and a green last night. My team member got two drops in one battle!

one orange dye in 6+ hours of playing (not farming, just like mapping and questing or having fun)

double dye weekend = BIG LOL

Got one blue for 11 hours of play... /flex

Put it this way, my dervish is still feeling grey.

So far all day
1 white (yay)
1 brown
1 blue
1 purple
