If anet were to introduce the hairstylist...and they would make it at a hefty price...would you pay for one?

The desperation to change a tiny visual detail is getting larger and larger. In fact..i wanted to reroll my character who has 3 sets of elite armour, many many unlocks and customised rare weaponry.

So what is the sufficient amount? for example...would you pay...say 20000 to change your hair? i know i would

. 30000, 40000, 50000?

The ultimate question i suppose is...if they implemented the changer in their online store...would you pay real money to get it done? ie...£3/$5

I'd pay 5k, but in all honesty they shouldn't cost more than a piece of armor.

Oh god real life money! Um, 2 bucks?

why would i pay through the online store 5 dollars when there are adds for 100k for 5 dollars. (no, i wouldn't buy that crap either)

max i would spend is 1k.

Darkobra · Jan 23, 2008, 10:19 PM // 22:19

None. I grew my hair down to my elbows for a reason.

Oh... Guild Wars... Well, 5k seems fair. MAYBE 10k, but that's getting a bit overboard.

I'd like to see new hairstyles as well, would those cost $1.50? I'd assume they would do, seeing as they're not of the 'original' (as it were) chapter.

Pay real life money? LMAO... no. This isn't Second Life.

Pay GW money. Heck ya. But it's hard to put a price on something that doesn't exist. But I'm sure a lot of people would pay a great deal to change their hairstyle... if it's done well with good variety.

Molock · Jan 23, 2008, 10:21 PM // 22:21

I would pay 100k+
Seriously.. my character is cool and all.. but I am forced to wear a bandana because his haircut is so damn ugly!!! I made him in Factions [my ele] and at the time I didn't mind the haircut so much.. but now that I have accomplished so much with him I want a decent haircut.. at almost any price.

Edit: In real currency.. I am unsure.. I don't waste actual money like I do with virtual money..

Aerial Assault · Jan 23, 2008, 10:21 PM // 22:21

Would happily pay 100k each for the following:

-Face change (Use faces I wasnt privy to on prophecies-based chars)
-Hairstyle change
-Skintone change

Bring it on! Game could use more gold sinks anyways.

blood4blood · Jan 23, 2008, 10:22 PM // 22:22

Real money for a virtual haircut? Nope, but I would re-roll (in fact, I have).
In-game money? Not much if it was just the standard character-gen screen options (say, 1k or so per change). If you could get more & better options at higher prices, that I might consider ("elite" haircuts lol).

Angel Puriel · Jan 23, 2008, 10:23 PM // 22:23

I think face changing is a bit dramatic. Plastic/reconstructive surgery in GW? LOL...

Rushin Roulette · Jan 23, 2008, 10:24 PM // 22:24

Id say 10K for my character.... 100K to send Koss to the Barber and give him a decent haircut.

guildwars101 · Jan 23, 2008, 10:24 PM // 22:24

angel its MAGIC BESTOWED FROM THE GODS

Idea regarding those who want a sex change: Add a purchasable tonic that changes your gender for X number of minutes/hours. Ethically safe(er) : )

That fro is too 1337 to change.

id want gender change to be permanent

Aera Lure · Jan 23, 2008, 10:26 PM // 22:26

I'd pay around 10-15k in game for a one-time, per use change of hair color and style, provided you had access to all styles from all campaigns you owned available to the class in question. I wouldnt really change it all that often, and also dont really have too much to spend gold on in game anymore either. I'd pay more if it included face and/or skin change options.

If it was in the store, I'd pay around $15-20 for a Hair Stylist feature, but this would be a permanent addition to your account, allowing you to change your hair color and style to anything available for that class however many times you wished, across all your characters. I would pay more to the upper end of my range if new styles were also implemented, less if not. I wouldnt pay any amount to simply do a one-time change. Again, I'd pay more for a Stylist unlock that also allowed skin tone and face change options, but its the hair changing I'm really keen on.

I'd also like to see a true character creator a la many other MMO examples that have full range sliders for many more character options - facial expression, cheekbones, eye width/height/size/color, eyebrows, color sliders for precise color choice, body build, far more hair styles - etc etc. The examples are a bit too numerous to name, but Guild Wars really lacks here. This though is off the scope for a feature request within Guild Wars, but rather, something I hope is given good consideration in GW2.

That would piss off way too many people, though - and would also piss off people outside the game, who could probably be very vocal people. It's too risky to go for something like that. A tonic is safe because it's temporary and isn't "replacing what God gave you."
