There are only a few things that I would shell out money for, but I wont begrudge others the ability to purchase what they want. I don't have the hours and hours needed to fully unlock all the skills and runes. I get my fun in this game from tinkering with different skill combinations to see what works, and what doesn't. I like playing through the story, the first time.

I would pay $10.00 per chapter to get everything unlocked so I could tinker to my hearts content. Its only ever a matter of time to unlock everything, so paying anet a premium to not have to spend the time unlocking the other 6 classes each campaign after I unlocked the first would be worth it to me. Especially as more and more campaigns and classes become availible.

As to other things to sell in the store, I like the ability to buy character slots and new campaigns as they become availible. I would also pay for the option of doubling or quadrupuling my storage since its always full.

The things I'd like to see in the store are the following:

More Storage space: This could be a rune of holding to increase what we already have in our bags, an armor storage chest, a weapons storage chest, tabs on the storage agent we already have. Whatever it takes to get more storage.
Even after the current storage upgrade, my mesmer's bags are completely full of armor and weapons so she can PvP.

Character Slots: yes, more character slots are nice. Especially since currently I need one to use as an armor/weapon storage chest (see above).

Non-Game items: yes, Charr plushie!!!! Oooo, and a Frog plushie too!
I think a lot of people would be willing to buy a mouse pad, mug, t-shirt, etc.

Direct Song Paks: This is self-explanatory
Campaigns: So is this.

Unlocking Skills for PvP: a BIG NO!
As to a hair dresser/cosmetic surgeon, well, I'd pay in-game gold for a hair change, and a tan for my Ele, but real money-no. Special promotional items like the Coke shield, etc, maybe, as long as the stats were kept the same as what is currently offered in-game. I don't want to see special armors though, there are enough of those in the game to already choose from. I also don't want to see special areas available to only those who pay real money for them. We all saw how the "Elite" areas, The Deep and Urgoz's Warren turned out. I don't think this is a good idea, again, mostly because the reward for such, a unique skin green, should not be available to only those who have the cash to go.

Oh, and can we PLEASE fix the credit card thing so that it recognizes that my expiration date and CVV code ARE correct? Whole lot of good it does to have a store when it keeps telling me that what IS correct isn't.

Sell me the ability to move charcters. Long before we all had six slots or more, I had a second account, which still has charcters I want to play, but its a waste of time to continue to develop that account. I would be willing to pay $15 or so for a new charcter slot plus moving it from another account, or like $5 to move it just to a new slot. I have two chars. I'd like to move. I can understand there may be some logistical problems, but anet is smart, I'm sure they could figure it out.

Anything except for in-game equipment (holiday stuff is ftw though), and storage space.

First off, on storage space, it will alienate the players. It gives people an advantage. People with more storage then others could hold more, farm more, and generally sell and buy much more then the others. This would be horrible, and very unfair and not balanced.

Also, why are some of you asking them to let us buy stuff that Anet's own 'Jeff Strain, James Phinney, and Alex Weekes' SWORE we would never have to purchase. They swore any 'addition' to any in-game facility such as trade, storage, etc we would never have to purchase with our own money. Ever. All that stuff should be free because the founders of Anet told us they freaking would be.

I don't think Guild Wars needs anything of the sort ,even the extra character slots for 10 $ are unnecessary in my opinion .Probably because there really is nothing that a gw gamer would need other than his characters .

It wouldn't be fair to CE owners to add divine aura or special emotes for sale. They have paid for them as an extra feature for CE owners only, and adding them to store would lose their value and make people mad.

Some merchandise would be cool, but I'm guessing the store is meant for digital items only?

Btw, I really want the option to LOG OUT of the store, so that I can log in on other account, to buy slots for other accounts / people.

EDIT: Also, an order history, as well as an indication as to which acount you're logged into, would be extremely helpful .
Now it's just an educated guess...

The whole, "Will you sell in-game stuff for real money?" thing has been done to death. Every single time ANet has said, "NO. Period end of discussion." Ask the frog or gale or anybody else for that matter.

What I would like to see is...

1) More storage space.

2) Storage for a vendor, NPC, house or whatever that will sell stuff for me so I don't have to sell everything to merchants. (Better yet, I can buy things without spamming for hours trying to find what I am looking for.)

What I would like:

In game virtual items that do not affect your character in game abilities. In other words they are to customize your character's looks and nothing more.
Reason: Even with the current "customization" there is really not much diffrence between your character and another one. Personalizing your items would make for a much better visual game since people will actually be diffrent. Prices should be small so people can afford it too.

PvP Skill Unlock Pack codes which would work similar to booster packs giving you X random skills and one elite. Packs are sold by profession and theyr are completely random: they might just give you a skill already unlocked.
Reason: PvP Unlocking skills might 'seem' slow to some. Perhaps another option offered to unlocking skills can be a good idea.

There will seemingly be no more SF type updates. Well I would like to see SF like additional content that can be sold to link to ones account.
Reason: Well we will miss SF like additional content. Im not sure why Anet seemingly doesnt want to include these anymore since they made GW great. Perhaps they should reconsider that position. Updating FAction would turn it from a average game to a great game lik Prophecies. Perhaps they intended to sell these?

I would love to be able to purchase collector/korean/taiwanese edition items independantly, even if the cost was prohibitively higher than if you originally purchased said item.

There were a couple of skins they received that didn't make it into the game otherwise, and I really like.

in addition to all the moichandising and other options suggested, i'd pay a nominal fee for more complex armor dying options (i.e. more than one color per piece, patterns similar to cape design.)

i'd also pay ludicrous amounts of money for a 1:1 scale Talon Silverwing statue

No you got it all wrong 1:1 Black Moa!!! fully functional of course...sadle optional


The trouble with doing the stuff to buy which changes asthetics without function is that alot of people who sprung for Obsidian armour are gonna be peeved when people can pay $10 for a set which looks just as cool, while paying 1.5K in-game for equal functionality.

Absoulutly nothign that people could sell ingame - infact no ingame items...the richer people will have the better looking weapons and better looking chars due to the fact that in r/l they can afford to, whereas those ingame who work hard for GW money but dont have real money to splash on vanity of ingame characters [mainly teens and kids here] get the stock chars.

id welcome more storage tho

Since there is a desire for in game promo items eventually it may happen, but A-Neet needs to have it set so that they can not be traded (like the pre-order), that includes all weapons, focus items, and sheilds. If something like this can be implemented I would accept in-game items, otherwise they might as well sell gold (and most of us agree selling gold is bad).

What I would rather see is more faces and hair options.

I'd pay money for posters most of all. Any other little gear would be nice to have, too (buttons, mousepads, etc, w/e, heh). But I, like many others, would love to be able to change my character's appearance. However, I doubt something like this will be in the store, but it sure would be a pleasant suprise! Name your price: I HATE my Conan hair.

Would like to see:

Name Changes
Xunlai Slots/tabs
NEW esthetic effects, maybe new dances/emotes

Would not like to see
Divine Aura
Factions CE Dances
These items were supposed to be unique to those who bought the CEs, why slap them in the face by going back on that?
