I haven't read the whole topic, so if this has been said before, I'm sorry.

Don't add anything to the store that can be traded among players. No mini-pets. No new weapon skins. No. You can still buy your way into the game via eBay but that's more often then not shunned. If you guys sold stuff that can be sold in game, it would be like Anet supports it.

That aside, I know what you should add. All the headgear that has popped up in events should be buyable in a package. I honestly wouldent mind spending five or ten bucks to get the Pumpkin Helm, Antlers, Santa Hat, Tengu Mask, and Dragon Mask in one big bundle. Or you can buy them one at a time. I sure as heck would like a second chance to get the antlers.

Seeing as those things can't be traded, it won't damage the enconmy, and let's new players have a chance to be involved with things that are long gone.

Also, if you add something like that, custom helms you can buy and whatnot, you should also have the ability to buy it for somebody else, as an in-game present.

And if you really want to add weapon skins, make them customized from the start. Consider more gag weapons before you think about some hard core stat heavy weaponry. Like the candy cane weapons, or the Ogre Slaying-Knife. Heck, it would be kinda neat to buy somebody a bouquet off-hand.

Remember. Customized.

Nothing to give somebody a clear advantage, and nothing that can be traded among players. Honestly, I felt that the mini-pets should of never been tradable.

More items to swap for collectables (like with monastery or imperial credits) - to encourage game play and not gold farming.

Ability to swap collectables for weapon upgrades such as "of defence" etc. Not only perfects, but +4 or 13^50's as well. Rarer drops go to perfect mods

Ability to swap a character from one account to another using in game "currencies".

Ability to "uncustomize" a weapon - to be fair this should be expensive, and only with collectables ie not for gold.

Abilty to change your existing armor skin.

Character based additional Xunlai storage page for customized items only.

More guild hall specials such as - a bar to buy drinks and a juke box to choose your own music - imagine - ingame gold lets you a hear a new track from up and coming new rock group (real life music group)

Abilty to "learn" (ie buy) a different dance emote from a new dance trainer NPC. (My ass's dance looks like milking a cow - so I dont allow him to dance much lol, at least not while anyone is watching) {How about capping a dance skill from dead dancing bossses haha rofl}

Ability to acquire an "in guild" item auction/trade listing system between guildies only.

Selling weapons or armor would be hard to do imo. To place a value on weapons when their price in-game fluctuates so much would be hard. Also Anet selling gold would not work well. Gold selling companies could undercut their prices. I know tons of people who ebay or have ebayed and none have ever been banned. It seems the risks are relatively low. Therefore people would still be tempted by the low prices.

First of all, I'm glad an ear to the developers is here. Thanks Gaile.

I know this thread is full of great ideas (and some bad ones).

IMO, there's only 3 things that really need to be added to the ingame store atm:

1) Storage

2) Storage

3) Storage

Not just generic "add a space", but specialized storages space. The developer's hit a home run with Faction's materials storage (although dye storage should have been included). I'd like to see an extension of that with a "weapons", "armour", or "<insert whatever>" tab.

Extra Storage seems to be the general desire.

P.S.

I do have a beef with all the people here asking for "divine auras" or "backup dancers", or any other bonuses that came with the CE editions. If they really want them, they should track down a copy. I am new to GW, and I have made the effort to aquire all CE editions. Don't cheapen that with selling CE goodies to the masses for mere $$$

Tozen · Sep 22, 2006, 07:33 PM // 19:33

Gaile, I'd really like the option to pre-order from the online store. It saves a lot of hassle on shipping prices and delays.

All I would want from the bonus pack are the in-game items.

Zakarr · Sep 22, 2006, 08:00 PM // 20:00

I would like too see new faces and hairstyles because they keep reducing in every chapter...

spajdr · Sep 22, 2006, 08:51 PM // 20:51

Me and my friend would like to see auction house, for free if possible, otherwise we will pay

SPIRIT OF THE SEA · Sep 23, 2006, 12:57 AM // 00:57

i would like to see u able to buy money that will automatically be sent to ur storage account i would buy so much gaile if do this idea u become a trillionaire cause me lets say 100k=$10 i would spend 2,000 dolloars

herroyal_highness · Oct 15, 2006, 02:09 AM // 02:09

When I bought GW Prophesies it came with a bonus of an Eve poster, mousepad, and T-shirt. I wear my GW shirt all the time and I would love to be able to buy another one when my current one wears out.

I would love to see additional shirts, posters, mousepads, cloth maps, coffee mugs, blankets, pillowcases, welcome mats, calendars, salt & pepper shakers, plushies, mini statues of characters (I'd love a mini Prince Rurik or Devona sitting on my desk) or foes, and the cards used for sealed play available at the GW Store. Someone in an earlier post put a Luxon vs Kurzick chess set with jade and amber pieces..... I would buy that in a heartbeat!

Also, I had the opportunity to buy the CE of GW Prophesies, but instead I bought the standard edition because I didn't know if I would like the game. I bought it just to play with my boyfriend (who has the CE). Now, I'm kicking myself because I love this game and have bought the CE for Factions and have preordered the CE for Nightfall. I'd be willing to shell out $70+ to buy the original CE with all the goodies (yes, the Divine Aura, too!) just so that I could have a complete collection. It's impossible to find one that's still usable anywhere! And I'd rather give my money to Anet, anyway.

Raging Pacifist · Oct 15, 2006, 07:03 AM // 07:03

I'd like to buy a Rhino's Charge. I wouldn't pay a lot for one, but maybe it would be cool to have that in the store, and other special weapons.

Turbo Wombat · Oct 15, 2006, 09:06 AM // 09:06

I have seen many people suggesting storage space upgrades. While some bonuses like an Armor Locker or a Dye tab would be doable, I still think that we should be entitled to more storage space for free since we will be spliting it between at least 8-9 characters for those of us with merged accounts. I don't consider myself a packrat, and I'm still resorting to using my less-payed characters as mules.

Other than that, I say mostly asthetic upgrades for the store, along with access to other things like old pre-order items and some holiday collectables.

-Old 3FL- · Oct 15, 2006, 02:03 PM // 14:03

-More storage space
-Choice of login screens
-Choice of interface

Me too. I'd happily pay a few quid for that. Right now, it's all too easy to run into someone with the same looks. And I chose the face and hair shown in the avatar over there (<-------<<<) becuase I figured it was different

Scorpion Boy · Oct 15, 2006, 02:12 PM // 14:12

Doesn't looks bad tho..But I would like to see more guildwars goodies like the stuff that's in the Collecters Editions.

warcrap · Jan 02, 2008, 03:44 PM // 15:44

something to do outside of combat
will it be non combat professions,cool rs type minigames?
player housing?
well this can probably happen in gw2.

edit:my bad i didnt notice this was for the ingame store.
well for that maybe anet can open up an item mall were they sell cool decorative items(not for combat) just for decoration maybe fireworks and stuff.

Zeek Aran · Jan 02, 2008, 04:08 PM // 16:08

I would pay $10 for invisible armor.

pkodyssey · Jan 02, 2008, 04:18 PM // 16:18

/mostly off-topic

I would like an option to buy less lag, and smooth events.

I am a devoted GW fanatic and I am truly going to begin searching for a new game. I just can't keep justifying the on-going disappointment with mechanics, nerfs/buffs, and crazy excuses about lag.

It can't always be "My provider" when every other game out ther works just fine. Hmmm... let me think, someone might be smokin crack, and it ain't me.

Sorry for the ramble. I didn't want to start yet another complaint thread.

MagmaRed · Jan 02, 2008, 04:29 PM // 16:29

1) Account merging. I bought 2 accounts before Factions was released. I did so because I wanted to have 1 of each character class for PvE, and was tired of deleting and restarting characters. Since I had 4 characters, and had already deleted 2, I didn't want to delete any of the 4 I had to make the 2 other classes I didn't have yet. A second account allowed me to have 4 more character slots, which let me make those 2 characters.

If I had know there would be an option to buy character slots before I bought my second account, I would have waited. I would be willing to pay to have characters transfered to the other account, as I am sure it won't be an easy thing to do. If it is not possible, then at least allow me to pay a *small* fee to have the character slots added to my other account, and transfer items between the 2 accounts. Then the account would be deleted, and I would only have 1 account to use, but the ability to use all my character slots.

2) Storage is possibly the best option I have heard. Many people already buy character slots just to store items on. You could limit the amount available to purchase, so one person won't have 10,000,000 storage spaces, but have 1 extra page, and each page have 1 extra row or something.

3) Art work, some possibly usable in game. The login screens, as mentioned, are something we all see. Some people love login screens that are gone now. Let us buy them, and give us an option to use the ones we want, when we want. There have been other art work that people enjoy, and you could sell. Copywrite info would be important to add to it, but allow people to download and use some of the great art Anet has made for screensavers, wallpaper, etc.

4) Although I could care less about it, the Collectors Edition items/features. The dances, weapons, auras, etc. appeal to many people, and didn't know about them when they bought the game. IIRC you can already purchase the weapons from one of those for an account, so just add all of the CE editions and all of the features for them.

5) Not something to purchase, BUT USE PAY-PAL or some method for people without credit cards to make these purchases. Online checks would even work, and many companies allow you to pay bills using an online check. There are kids not old enough to have a credit card, people with bad credit, and people in areas with little/no access to credit cards. Some of those people don't even have stores near them that offer much in the way of GW products. If the online store wants to be successful, allow more people to use it.

Woo · Jan 02, 2008, 08:48 PM // 20:48

One thing I would love would be:

If anyone ever tryed LOTROG, when you buy etc. armor
you can see it in a window (on you're char). That would be great!

Perkunas · Jan 02, 2008, 11:50 PM // 23:50

This will seem a bit off the wall. Something that won't apply to the actaul game, but how about a set of coffee cups with logos from each chapter & expansion of the game, shipped to my home.
