Many dragon exotics are still exotics. There's literally like a million colors you can dye armor to, though many of them barely change from each other. Still, the 20 or so colors hypixel has released aren't indistinguishable from every exotic. And that's only if you consider exotics being a color not available now. The dyes are rare to calm the exotic collectors but they exist because of the exotic craze.

[@DarthPraennox]

Yeah but only the extremely rich will care about that. You don't need every color armor. You just need a color or two that you like

This reminds me of my days back in Neopets. I used to deal in what were called "petpet msps", can't remember what they were, basically treasure maps. You collected 9 - got a prize. I would do the traditional shop method of buying at a low price from people just selling to get rid of them and sell in my shop at standard market prices, maybe a tiny bit below so they'd be ranked higher in the shop wizard (basically the item search, almost everyone went low-high as you do when shopping). Then it was like overnight, the bottom dropped out. I don't know if everyone who wanted them had them, the market was flooded or what, but suddenly I couldn't GIVE them away (I tried, believe me). As they were my main item, it was annoying as hell. Thankfully, it was near this that my account was frozen during the 2011 hack fiasco so I no longer have to stress it, but having everything upended out of no where is frustrating, even if it's just little while ixels in the end.

While I kind of feel bad for these poeple, at the same time, something like this happening is just a risk you take when buying these items. This goes for all Skyblock items. Once you accept this, and realize that a lot of your items will lose value over time, it really isn't that bad.

It was like the exact time and date of my death. After being in anger and denial for a few days, and trying everything in my power to get my account back. I had to accept the inevitable, it was lost. It hurts to see things you have put work into go, but also kind of relieving, but in life all things go. In the end, nothing matters and no one cares. After this my life felt much better and I started playing different games and hanging out with friends. So although I'm losing a minecraft account with lvl 250 and mvp+.

Some end-game skyblock extoic horders actually wanted this. Or maybe, a better result than they've ever anticipated. Most skyblock mains just want to quit. But all those wealth and stats that they left behind just made them a pity if they dunk it once and for all, sure it's a fast choice, but not a easy one to commit. This M7 update casuing millions of no-longer-exotic pieces being sold is just delighting for those who suffer in eternal misery of skyblock exotics horder that wanted to quit to view. Since the only most valuable things they own - No longer worth anything. Which made them can quit with ease. Having no more restrain of valuables leaving behind... May the ones who quitted Skyblock due to exotics... Bless you and live a happy life. _sigh..._ PS: Hellcastle's narrating does gave me quite a sadness during this video about someone losing ~1 trillion coins worth of exotics + the BGM gave me a lot of chills, keep up the great work!

I dont get why sets like lime superior lost value, as they weren't craftable in that 1h bug. If they lost value because of the additions of dyes, i find that a bit dumb because the dyes are extremely rare (rarest drops in the game), as well as having icons when used. Maybe they would lose a bit of value, but not 10s of billions. This is my opinion anyways

he explained it. The Bubble burst, a lot of colllectors who were willing to bid these huge prices quit and therefore the interest in said items fell a LOT and so did the price.
