Hey everyone!
I got an idea after seeing the bonus pack for GW:EN
and I thought we should give anet some great ideas for more stuff at the store!
but before posting please read:
1. only post things that are not related to guildwars money
2.)do not post things that would give players an edge in PvE or PvP(anet wouldnt make special stuff for PvP anyways wouldmake stuff un balanced)
3.)try adding a reasonable price for the items

now here are my ideas

Untradable mini pets very simply mini pets that cannot be traded and cannot be aquierd in game (to protect enconomy they shouldnt be tradeable)
ex
Mini Me
Mini kisu
mini gaile gray!

special character dances Anet i know you guys love to boogy so why not show us your moves with your own creation

Wepon skins now when i say this i do ot mean rare wepons i mean a costume for you wepon ever wanted to swing a lunch box with a huge stick tide to it as a hammer? well if anet makes this we'll get to wail on charr with lunch boxes woo!

BONUS MISSIONS for like 5 USD's each omg! special hour or somthing long missions full of puzzles and enemies and mabey you can include special rewards at the end

hey anet why not just sell masks in the store? for like 1 USD each?
BUT FOR LOVE OF JOE DONT SELL THE OLD MASKS! it shows whos been playin for a long time

Yeah, maybe some exclusive minis, extra storage space... I dunno, maybe some physical benefits too, like... posters? An art book full of concept sketches/notes from GW campaign development? Shirts might be pushing it, I think.

I can see where they'd like people to use their store, but they never offer any decent extras. I bought character slots so I could have the bonus mission thing, but I'd much rather have spent it on a minipet, poster, or silly in-game top hat or something.

darkknightkain · Jul 10, 2007, 03:37 AM // 03:37

What I'd like the most is a "thick" Artbook and/or a Databook with the complete Lore, Concept Arts, Sketches, Renders, of all the Characters, Locations and etc covering from the original Prophecies to the upcoming GWEN.

If only sticking to stuffs that applys ingame only... as long as they are all pre-customized and non-tradeable...
old country-specific preorder items (anything >= 6 months old)
old retailer-specific preorder items (anything >= 6 months old)
old collector edition items (anything >= 6 months old)
old emotes/auras/dancenews (anything >= 6 months old)
old event/birthday minipets (anything >= 6 months old)
old event masks (anything >= 6 months old)
basically, anything >= 6 months old after their respective novelty ran off can do.

However, the Online Store really should NOT sell any online exclusive items that are otherwise unacquirable ingame.

I have an idea for a new character:

think a druid-like person that shape-shifts. Like there are different shapeshifting skills including special elites, and there are attacks for all or a group or just one creature. No ideas for a human-form wep tho. Any thoughts??? im open for criticism

Molock · Jul 11, 2007, 05:37 AM // 05:37

I would buy a book containing a lot of text related to the lore. I would buy concept art... in a book form thank you.

I would buy storage tabs for storage

red13xx · Jul 11, 2007, 07:13 AM // 07:13

I honestly wasn't at all knowledgeable about Guild Wars when I first bought it. I just heard it was a great game. I went to the store, picked up first copy I saw and started to play. First thing I notice was many characters were glowing when they did emotes. So I was really pissed I did not get the collectors edition. I would like to be able to upgrade my key or account to collectors edition so I can also get the glow and new dances. I think they should offer this to players like me who were not knowledgeable about CE.

The store needs to sell extra storage space for a set price. That would then shut up all the people who still winge they havent got enough space.

But they should still have a max limit to prevent server issues.

Well if Anet would implement some way for people to sell upgrades (trader) i wouldn't "winge" but as they don't i only have 2 pages of storage

more storage would be nice

You only have 2 pages of storage completely or left to use?

If completely then you're kind of missing the point! Its a sales technique to make you buy another campaign to get another 20 slots.

If you only have 2 pages left... thats still 40 slots... my god how will you fill them *homealonemirrorslap*!!!

You do get 80 slots in total, which is quite alot, which is why I say "winging". IMO people should be greatfull for Anets storage update, but people still complain its not enough.

So hence let people buy more in the shop, using money and shut them up.

Additional item bonus upgrades like the Millennium edition pack.

The precedent is there. That pack gives access to (from memory so maybe wrong) about 6 or 7 max items - offhands and weapons. At the moment the above pack only really caters to some of the classes.

I would certainly buy other packs, if offered in the store, which expanded upon the items available to different classes and/or additional items for all classes. (i would also buy more storage if offered)

Hyper.nl · Jul 11, 2007, 02:34 PM // 14:34

I'm currently unable to buy anything there, but I would have bought the weapon pack. Also some more storage, especially rune/insignia storage would be nice. Other cool storage options would be dye storage, quest item storage, armor storage and red iris flower storage (Just kidding on last one)

Great idea indeed thanks!

lol.. i would pay £1 per 10 extra ignore slots. And keep on buying them as needed. A right wee earner for Anet me thinks.

Cheers Lyra

The only problem with selling in game items, such as mini's, weapons, and armor is that some will perceive it as a divergence of the "free play" model that ANet currently uses. While it is true that technically you pay for content when you buy the game, if too many "bonus items" are charged for, you'll end up hearing a lot of grousing. It's one thing to include perks in game releases. It's another entirely to say, "Hey! You can get a one of a kind Green Faery (no joke, I so very want one..) for just 9.99 at our online store!"
I envision more tactile media being sold at the store. Much as mentioned...T-shirts, books, figurines, and the like.
Now for software, I DO think that something that would sell very well would be an actual program to modify game content. As it stands, people are all ready making mods for their personal (no one else can see it) game skins. I think they would do well to create a sanctioned program to create such mods and sell it online. They make money, you get to skin content however you like, and the integrity of the graphic style of the game is preserved. Everybody wins.

More storage FTW.

Chik En · Jul 26, 2007, 12:40 AM // 00:40

I would pay 5 to 10 bux for a mini pet pouch

To hold all my mini pets.
It would hold only one of each kind.
It would be accessable via the Inventory panel
And all chars would be able to access it (Except in pre-searing

that would just be wrong)
You can only modify the contents of the pouch in a town
And it would be easily codeable to rule out pre-searing in general by only enable the pouch if you have your storage unlocked (pay 50g) for that char.

Kind of like a marble bag, but for MINI PETS!!!!

I would love to be able to show off any of my pets ANYTIME without switching chars 10 times

MithranArkanere · Jul 26, 2007, 02:59 AM // 02:59

I would want:
- Actual use for the PvP editions, like unloking all the non-elite skins for all PvP characters or being able to choose pets or something.
- Weapon sets for each profession. They would be one item per attribute. All unique skins. Price? Around 3..4€.
- Rename tokens. They will appear in the inventory, and would allow one name change per month for a character when used: "Double click to rename your character". For 5...10€. All the users with your name in their guilds or players lists (friend, ignore, etc) would be warned of the change.
- Remake tokens. They would allow one total revamp of the character appearance per month. For 2..5€

And for the Xunlai storage:
- A Promotional items tab. With slots with the prootional items you have and you can take out. The ones that can be made only once become grayed once you pick the item. This would not include miniatures. 0..2€
- A Miniature tab. This will have one slot per existing miniature, and all of them would be grayed until you put a miniature inside. Any miniature that can be created once (Like Varesh, Kuunavang and Asura woulda ppear here instead in the promotional items tab) 0..1€
- A Customized items tab. It would fit much more items that the other tabs, but would allow customized items only (namely weapon and armors) 0...5€
- Extra storage. Each extra storag slot would grant you 20 more storage slots. 5..10€
