THIS is just a suggestion for the in game shop. I already posted it but I wanted people to read and give ideas themselves.

Here is an idea that people might/might not like that could potentially be sold.

PvP
Skill Pack Codes. You buy these and with the Skill Pack Code given you can then claim your PvP Unlocked skill reward which is 4 random skills and one elite. Skill Packs come divided in Profession Sets. So a Monk set will never give you an unlockable mesmer skill. Skill packs are random, you might just get the same skill various times before you get the one you wanted to unlock.

Suggested Pricing
No idea at the moment. Perhaps $6.00, $1 for common skills and $2 for the elite one.

PvE
Dungeon Area Codes. Anet would have to create various SF mini like areas for this to work. These areas have an NPC at each of their 'gates'/'entrances'. Once you claim your code reward the NPC will acknowledge your account so that any of your PvE characters can now access this area.

The area itself will have various Epic/Endgame type Quests. The pack itself comes with one code for the buyers account and allows the buyer to invite at any time up to four friends. In other words the Leader needs to have a code, the ones invited do not. Perhaps they need to pay a gold fee of sorts. The codes are perishable after a given amount of time. Once the codes time limit is up the person would have to re buy the codes to gain access to said area again. These areas cannot be solo'ed. The NPC will not allow a solo player in. (Buying and Sharing idea perhaps)

These areas perhaps may have a bonus to drops. Quests rewards are random loot and/or gold that range from uncommon to rare. None of the items won/found in these Quests are any diffrent then the existing ones. In essence you are actually paying to gain access to an area with endgame/epic like PvE content. The areas need to be quite big. I'd love to see this implemented to sell us entrance to a new Post Searing Catacombs for example. Or entrance to the Orr Ruins, etc etc.

Suggested Pricing:
$8.00 for a month pass
$14.00 for a two month pass
$18.00 for a three month pass

PvP idea maybe

PvE NO big nono
thats just almost being one step away form monthy fees.

and it would take too much time to develop new areas/quests which can be beeter spent, ie the next chapter

Nah doubtful they'd go monthly fees. EVEN if they DID implemented this they could never go with fees because the whole GW community will collapse. On the other hand this is a good idea to pay for better updates I guess, since Gaile already mentioned there wont be an SF type Update again.

I was also thinking of having only two places for this too, lest the more places the less people would go.

If you can suggest something that can be sold for PvE characters that is safe for anyone please do so.

Why waste time in a home when your living in a home in real life, some of us are.

PVP yes, buying PVE content, no.

HOpe not to see this kind of "buy game content with real money" for now... but maybe in near future.
