Stuff i'd buy in the Shop:

- the past Minipets, and stupid exclusive stuff like those special weapons/shield of this dumb Coca cola promotion that was ever japan/taiwan whatever only, and those minipets, which were sold by pc mags, like the grey giant.

- certain event hats, i hate it that i cant get back the hats i once hat with an old chara i had to delete and those god damn hat npc's give out only copies, when u bring them 1 original of U, why cant those stupid NPCs dont just sell COPIES -.-

- every kind of preoder shit ... i missed the stupid factions one, it was so quick sold old, that i had no chance ... i want the special 2 weapons from it for the dervish and the paragon. the scythe of it is imo atm the only one, that looks really good

- very good looking plastic figures of GW mosnters/Characters ... so in genereally franchise is good, so T-Shirts, Caps ect r good

- fluffy toys

- rename/make stuff as mentioned above

- more storage space with tabs exclusive for miniatures,upgrades, insignias, runes, dyes, armor sets (so that it becomes possible to collect more then 1 armor)

- other originally stuff, like a GW Card Game about Mosnters (magic the gathering style)*franchise*

- unlocking vor Pvp Weapons/Armors (Skins)

- unlocking Skills for pve making skills for the whole pve part of the account unlocked, but only normal Skills, no elites

- unlocking special bonus quests

- unlocking special unique drops like special kind of stuff thats drops very rare, but sells good at npc's, like that monsters don't drop then only little sums of gold coins, that they can drop then too for example bars of Gold, which will sell at the NPC's for example direct ever at 1 Platin and when a monster drops a realy rare bar of Platin, this will sell then at fixed price at npc's for example for 15 Platin, and this stuff will be then needed to make a unique kind of armor set, but the stuff is tradeable, so that other players can make them too.
*im missing somehow more metals as materials .. atm, theres only iron and steel as for materials/rare materials, why not bring in with this Gold and Platin as rare materials for a new armor set.

- naturally as franchise too : > big nice colored posters of concept arts for example, those wonderful pictures which normally end up as PC-Background pictures.

there r tons of different things, people would be willing to buy, anet needs only to put the stuff into their shop and give the people more different choices how to pay then, then only per credit cards ... paying per smd would be an good start, but paying per normal EC Card should be in to or per simple online banking or by normal transfers and per debit. or even per paypal ...
so more different ways r there, so better in the end for the people, that r willign to buy in the shop

The one thing that I would like to buy would be the guidebooks. I bought the factions guidebook and absolutely love it! (it is kind of redundant now with all the skill changes but w/e). When nightfall came out, I called my local EB games every day for 2 friggin weeks, hoping it had come in, and every time they assured me, it was coming soon. I called bookstores, checked the internet, all assuring me that they would come soon. Finally after 2 months, I realised, that IT HADNT BEEN MADE YET. I have cried myself to sleep many nights because I did not have the Nightfall guidebook. So please anet, make the bloody guidebook! Better late than never...

Anyways......

The way I see things is that the only things that should be sold in the store are tangeable items such as games, artwork, and character slots (and guidebooks!). Mabye anet should create an in-game store where people can go and buy their exclusive minis and preorder weapons and old-school hats. The prices at this store could be ridiculously high, say 100k for a pre-order wep, thus creating another gold sink to balance out the economy, and then we can get rid of loot scaling!

Well, thats just my two cents

Guild /Alliance functions.

say for $9.99
Ability to edit your guild hall layout and add a number of free unique services.
Ability to buy new types of NPC henchmen for Halls.
Ability to have events in the halls for special times, Like Fireworks, or games, whatever...

There are more things like a second chest and character redesign (change hair, and face ect) that would be interesting to offer, but the code for it would be really complex. Especially the 2nd chest, cause it would entail extending the SQL tables yet again for every character.

Well... it has been already told that the collector edition stuff will never be available, but if it paid by, let's say 4 times the price in the original version, I don't think it would be really a problem.

It's fair not to get it if you knew it was there and you could purchase it, but you didn't, but there is a lot more people that didn't knew, or could not, but now they can. And they only choice is eBay, and we don't like people getting account codes in eBay.

So letting people to update to 1..2 years old preorder and collectors would be fine with me, as long as they are available 1 or 2 years after the release, so collectors owners can show off their stuff.

By the way... I would alo like to see /dancenew for the 6 core professions.

"More storage or a weapon mod Trader NPC." really belong in a different thread, as that's not really something you can get from the Store.

The ability to merge accounts, split accounts, send characters from account to account (potential nightmare), or a PVP pack that has Core, Prophesies, Factions, Nightfall, and GW:EN skills. (Though that suggestion might be a month or two premature.)

And altho this would kinda defeat the purpose of the HoM, money for accomplishments/titles. I don't support this, BTW. Master Cartographer, MAYBE.

Some of things I would really HATE to see sold:
-gold, any items, armors, minipets, heroes, missions...
-anything that gives advantage over people that dont buy it (like suggested in this forums increasing hero limit in party),
-anything that can affect ingame economy (like any bonus item packs further decrease the demand for items that drop ingame),
-overpriced small content packages (like the 'bonus' mission pack, which shouldn't exist at this form)
- scam-packs which get sold as something unknown, then stop being sold after revealing what it really is (same infamous example)

What I'd like to see:

-a big comprehensive content package worth its price! Something that can be called a complete product. Something like a future expansion, Guild Wars Expansion-2, including 9 new dungeons, 50 new skills, 20 new armors, etc. sold for ~20$ - if the amount of content is half of a full expansion it should cost half the price, the price should be proportional to the amount of content included.

-make an Auction House (yay!) with full buying functionality and very limited selling ability (like a limit 1-2 items at once) free for everyone, and sell a Power Trader Package in the store, enabling extra features for sellers and greatly increasing the limit of items sold. I would certainly buy that!

-ability to rename a character or change appearance (no new exclusive looks though)

-ability to move a character into your another account (suggested by someone in another thread here)
