I'm sorry guys.
If you make the dye cheaper, it will do one of two things: (1)Devalue the dye, so everyone is running around in black all of the time, thus making it worthless as a status symbol (and lets face it 99% of the people who own it view it that way). (2) It stays insanely popular, and suddenly people are converting CC to millions of in-game credits, wrecking the economy. I would go with 1, especially eventually, but if they wanted black dye to lose its cache, they would make it one of the Reputation rewards. And most people would be pissed about that. Right now, it's pretty fairly priced. It will still be in demand, it will probably start going under 1 million on the GTN. What's the problem again?
