Fine - disagree all you want - it's your right to do so, all i am asking for is the ability to outfit my guild hall the way I want to.

If I farm 8 hours a day to raise money I will be penalized and my drops will lower. I will never raise the several hundred k I want.

If I even thought about looking at ebay for gold I will be banned.

The Company ( its a business ) has already shown that it is willing to change the *rules* and increase its profits by selling things that we all would have thought they never would have.

They are willling to change their minds and sell things to us, BUT we had better not look elsewhere (ebay, etc).
Pvp Skills? and character slots? real world money for skills that can easily be got ingame. and Slots - explain to me please why I lost 2 slots when I combined my Factions account with my Prophesies account - yet within a few months I could buy those same slots back - but for real world dollars.
The answer-Its economics - if they think u are willing to pay you can get what you want.

They have stated they wont sell ingame features like weapons or armor in the store. The guild hall npc's seem as though they would go along with those. Also, I'm not sure if that would even be possible as it's not something they can just "apply" to your account.

My suggestion to you: have your whole guild chip in some cash

Im sure they could come up with some sort of *token* that could be placed into the first character I log in with and could in turn be traded in to the guild lord for the NPCs - anything is possible

/not signed for account merging: reasons - 1) The potential for abuse is too huge, scammer gets your account and merges it then you're never going to get it back. 2) Why on earth would anyone PAY money for this??? I've got 2 accounts, I dont want to merge them, it's usefull. Merging accounts should be free!!! but it should also have a LOT of checks in the system to ensure that same person owns (not leases) both accounts.
/not signed for pets/CE upgrades/auras/ANYTHING in game customized or not
/not signed for storage upgrades or more storage these should all be handled in game as was the materials storage...
/not signed for guild hall special upgrades.

/signed: preorders for upcoming and current chapters/CE editions
/signed: guild wars skill pins sets!!!! collectible stuff (especially coffe mugs)

...i think gaille stoped reading like 17 pages ago

however,i would like to say that i would be very VERY disapointed if A-net started making us pay for things such as an auction house,in game NPCs,and what not.im not sure i would continue playing very long if such things were implemented. what i would like to see,im not sure actually i would like more storage and i appreciate the extra char slots.

well now that they have made it possible to buy prophicies skills, perhaps the next step will be the factions. A post not to long ago suggested plushies, i donw right agree what better way to show your love then have a charr plushie. and possibly specialized mini pets that can not be sold, lets seeee what else. lemme come back another day

Yeap, instead sell customised tokens that can be traded at NPCs for customised items, ie: FoW armor token, Crystalline sword token, etc.

Since these items are customised they do not affect the economy in *any* way.

Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but I haven't the time to look through 11 pages...

The option of being able to merge accounts for a fee would be fantastic. My Prophecies & Factions games are on 2 seperate accounts, and that's really inconvenient (and the result of a boyfriend trying to be helpful and installing Factions for you).

So, yea. Being able to merge existing accounts would be excellent. And a relief.

Uhm, can't think of anything else at the moment. ^_^*

Since it is a store how about (non in game) collectables. Things that can be ordered and sent by mail. Example- Official Bumper Strips, Collector pin sets, Key chains, T-shirts. Figurines (like mini pets). Mini collectable weapons Example- Dwarven Axe or Dragon Sword / Ugly stick etc… Or maybe for a premium you can request a character from your account to have an exact miniature made with name plate and titles earned. Id love one on my desk how about you?

i would KILL to have character transfers.
as someone who bought several accounts (all legitimatly through play NC) ages ago, and who has multiple characters spread through different accounts, i would really, really appreciate being able to move them around to different orders, now that we can purchase character slots.
i dont regret getting a seccond, and third account, but it would just be nice if i could move the characters around accordingly to re-organize my character layouts.

Hi,

I would like more dancing emotes, and a chance to buy glowing hands from the original collector's edition of Guild Wars. I think that maybe not plush toys, but actual figures of the sub classes would be kinda cool. I think the pin thing is awsome too, seems like they are selling like hot cakes on Ebay.

Maybe shirts saying something like, "I went to UW and all I got was this lowsy glittering dust". Things that we could relate to, and laugh at. Maybe bumper stickers saying, "I'd rather be playing GuildWars".

RL merchandise would rock, especially key-rings and plushies.
I'd also love to be able to buy a Prophecies:CE key, let me be clear - Not simply divine aura, but a full account key.

No use. This has been explained, debated, and explained some more. If you don't understand the logic by now, no further explanations will help. You (not YOU specifically) may not like it or agree with it, but the explanation has been made.

Merchandise would be great customized with skill art or guild emblems etc.

Coffee mugs
hooded sweatshirts
t shirts
hats
keyrings
The list could go on and on.

I didnt read the whole thread but one I didnt see is action figures. I would love to have a Charr or Bone Dragon on my desk.

Also art like CG rendered prints of skill art, NPC's, and all the different monsters.

As far as ingame stuff I agree that there should not be anything that would be tradeable to other players anything you purchase from the store for your account should be only for your account. However im not wholey against the idea of being able to buy weapons and armor for my characters. I feel if someone is willing to pay for it then they should have the right to do so. Same goes for mini pets I so want a mini Glint.

yeah so this has no affect on the economy right....

so suddenly every noob has a perfect crystaline and fow armor. so then anyone who has a perfect crystaline, its now worth squat because everyone has one. so their 100k+300 ecto item is now worth a token.....

but no this doesnt affect the economy....

Please stop suggesting selling things in game because youre too lazy to go work for it yourself. ty.

I agree with MistressYichi. That would have a *drastic* affect on the economy, not only by making things like the exampled crystaline worthless, but think about it....if you can buy tokens for armor, the crafting materials for "real" armor drop....so cloth, linen, steel...shards...ECTO....

Suddenly ppl get FOW armor with "tokens", what purpose will ecto have? Errrrr none. Value plummets, people riot through LA and Kaineng....wait that could be fun hehehe

*cough* sorry

So yeah to sum up, tokens bad. 'sides I'd be pissed if ppl could get FOW so easily, I worked for mine lol.
