An in-game way of obtaining makeover credits would be the biggest possible push towards playing certain content.
While more storage is good - I've just yesterday discovered a different way of dealing with the crap I have.
I trash stuff.

It sadly will not happen and if it does it will be so expensive coin wise that it would most likely be easier to go make $10 and then buy a make over credit.

but /signed at a reasonable price.

I'd much rather have a makeover on some of my characters than this stupid heavy-equipment pack, but if it's something obscene like 100 gold coins then whatever...

/notsigned, we already ask a-net for so much, and you still want to eat away at their funds?

if u don't like how ur character looks, pay to have it look different. otherwise, deal with the way it looks because u are the one that made it look that way in the first place.

but in the interest of ANET still being able to make money, have the option to buy makeover with gold coins, somewhere around 20-25 gold coins for makeover.

that way people are still tempted to just pay the 10 bucks, but have the option to get it "for free".

I'd like a second way to obtain a makeover yes. But also i don't mind anet reaping in money for other projects.

If they'd give a few screenshots or something to show where all this money, time and effort is going. Then id be content with just paying.

/ Signed For Zcoins

Think It Would Be A Good Idea For Those Players With A Lack Of RL Funds....

But Then Anet Could / Should Go The Route Of Lettin Us Pay4 Stylist With In-Game Gold Or Maybe Even A Series Of Elite Content Missions!

LOL at people saying "yes" with no thought of how Anet will make money.

I propose letting people BUY zcoins with real money, and then expanding zcoins to purchase menagerie unlocks and stylist unlocks.

That way Anet will still get money (I will spend REAL money for Large Equipment pack), but there will still be a way to get stuff WITHOUT spending real money as well.

Win win.

All though I do find this a great idea, I still have to vote no. People already spend money on their makeover packages. It wouldn't be fair if other people would get them for free*.

*Free meaning you don't need real life money.

They were able to get rid of the fug a few weeks sooner than everyone else.
Also - there is no reason to remove it from the store.

Add a makeover option for some 20 gold coins. Given the price - I can see a lot of people just paying for it, instead of farming their asses off.

but for a large amount so that having to buy is still a viable option.
also for Name changes!

everyone says anets needs to make money, they make TONS of money, do you realize how many people play gw? and bought all campaigns, bmp, char slots, pvp packs, etc etc etc, not too mention all of the other games anet makes. they have money. i understand it costs money to maintain, but the prices of these are pretty high, name change 15$?... 5$ max should be the price. i've personally spent over 300$ in the game, as i have more than one account, which lots of people have multiple or alternate accounts, AND i've bought a name change and make over already. The money is not a problem, but zdailies are getting old quick, can only have so many heavy packs.......fireworks, and leet tomes? nothanx.

is this even realistic? the makeover credits are linked to your account, not to a character. they are not inventory items. that makes me think that it would be impossible to trade coins for them, but i do not know how easily implemented this would be in a computer programming sense.

I love 'polls' like this....its called a push poll. Make the second choise something like NO..ANet/GW needs to be profitable to continue. No profit = no GW. We have already gotten more than the initial purchase promised.
