Curse

So there are all these alcoves in the HoM Next to each monument, why not add a Closet type area in one or two of these to display your costumes? This could have the added benifit of encouraging people to buy the costumes and increase Anet revenue to fund GW2.

I don't think that anything you have to buy with real money should be transferable to GW2.

Why not? The bonuses we get in GW2 from the HoM won't have an effect on game play. The bonuses we get are titles, companions, weapons, attire, and miniatures. So why not have a costume alcove? At the very least, let your purchase from GW1 costumes carry over into GW2, so you won't have to buy it twice, assuming we will get costume-like things in GW2, or give access to a special costume design.

From Anet's point of view, it should be an easy thing to implement and I believe it would increase revenue from the costume promotion. It's purely cosmetic and either way, in GW1 or in GW2 (provided there are costumes in GW2), you have to spend money to get them.

The difference being I can go and grind the titles and work in game for everything currently in the hall...Whereas I barely make enough in real life to cover bills with just enough savings in my gaming fund to pay for new games...not enough to spare for frilly items within the game no matter how much I want to...

The HoM is intended to show in game accomplishments...not who got out of college and started making money before me

This, 12 chars

Don't worry, I'm sure Anet will be happy to sell you the same costumes again in GW2.

I do not want a closet, End might jump out of it.

What a fantastic idea, that's like introducing a new gold sink to the game except it's a real $$ sink! Everyone who wants a full HoM should pay at least $20 extra for that!

And it doesn't have to stop there! They can create a whole new monument dedicated to spending real $$ on useless crap. New great epic achievements like surviving 10 Extreme Makeovers, buying all unlocks (only counts if you purchase them in online store, not if you get all unlocks by playing the game), maxing out your character slots and xunlai storage, and more!

Anet, ahem, NCSoft surely needs more funds so this gotta be a great idea!

First, this should be in Sardelac.

Second, no. I don't want ANet to be asking players to buy benefits in GW2 through GW purchases, no matter how significant or insignificant those bonuses become. I think it's already enough that every single prestige armor is allowed to be placed in there.

HoM is for ingame achievements, not for stuff we paid (or didn't, as the case may be) for.

But ONLY if it is in addition to what is already there. So currently you can put 5 elite armor sets, but no constumes. If they put costumes in, it should be added in with the elite armor sets and not something separate. This would allow people to spend money if they wanted to, but not hurt the people who didn't want to spend the money. If it was separate from the armor, and offered a different reward for GW2, then I'd not support this. And I have not, nor will I buy a single costume.
