Just in case it's not clear, I don't think any changes should be made to existing tubs with the current hues, I think any suggestions for change other than price increases should only apply to added hues.

I see where you're coming from now, your concern is that a really popular dye tub is going to be picked by a lot of people and now becomes common. Under the current system you do realise that will happen eventually right? 6 months from now, especially with the increased playerbase I think you'll find all the tubs are owned by at least 2 people. At which point rarity is out the window.

I think we're operating on making different things rare here. I think you're asking for the better colours to be rarer. I am asking for all dye tubs to be equally as rare (or a subset of tubs if a subset is used, e.g., new hues only).

Maybe a combination of the two systems is the ideal solution. Let's say...

• You have some hues that can only be obtained by gold or nickels (random chance which tub you get).
  
• You have some hues that can only be obtained by GM skill reward only (you get to pick, maybe limit to 1 per account?).
  
• You have some hues that can be obtained by both (Current hues, could maybe exclude any hues which haven't been picked by gm tailor rewards yet and make them random chance only).
  

It's important that all 3 sections have 'good' (desirable I guess is a better word) hues available. This way

• GM tailors have access to tubs that not everyone on the shard will have access to already. If they really want to have a personal tub of the colour available from combined random chance and gm pick tubs they can still pick it.
  
• You can still collect dye tubs.
  
• There are some dye tubs which you can never just pick, and you can only get them through some small chance via the dye tub stone.
  

Well that's just life man, 6 months down the line or no matter the time stamp. For example it's like buying a house eventually you'll own a house and it will be paid off and eventually people will have all the tubs it's just how it works mate can only add new hues or increase the price :p
