What would you like to see in the Ingame Store?

That STig, and we need better expressions on the faces during the cinematics. When Vizer was like yelling "I will defeat you again Shiro!", she should have shown a great deal emotional outrage on her face rather then being like "Hi, my name is Sandy"
MelechRic
I mean this in all sincerity! I want better underwear for my femme necro. Honestly, those things she's wearing are granny pants.
That is all.
That is all.
Neriandal Freit
Remember Melech that they said that there were like in the works or where considering how to give us like town clothing or something.
It's been quiet a while since I've seen that, but I do remember it. That is somethign else we surely wouldnt be allowed to buy from the Store.

Why stop there, how about selling pvp emotes and guildwars gold, sounds a great way to completely screw the game up and fill anet pockets.
If i wanted to pay out of my arse for ingame peripherals id play maplestory.
I think the store should end at character slots and new campaigns.

The only thing I'm against is selling in-game things in the store. But I'm all for actually being able to touch and feel something that I paid for with real money.

I think that kind of stuff would sell well as long as it was good quality of course.I was thinking tho. I'm not for the selling of in-game things like x-tra storage but what if they did it up like an expansion pack, so for a price of 29.99 you get a beefed up storage, auction house, a couple character slots, large post-sear catacombs area and whatever else they can squeeze in and keep the price reasonable. I think I would be very tempted at buying such a thing. What do you guys think?

IMHO, the store should sell:
- character slots
- chapters
- services like character transfer for folks who bought multiple accounts
The following should be available in game for in game gold:
- change character appearance
- change character name
- storage
The store should *not* be selling stuff that was previously an exclusive (e.g., preorder items, divine auras no longer available). That would unnecessarily annoy the hard core. I personally think selling in-game weapons is a bad idea and should be limited to the preorders like they do today.

How about a Game Arenas international continent, where the old event arenas go?
Like the snowball fights, dragon arenas, etc
Sell it as seperate content but since it's not a full chapter, keep the price lower.
No fancy godly reward, but game faction exchange for lollipops that only REMOVES 15% DP would be nice...so it doesn't ruin the whole market of candy canes, which removes it all.

So, what can ANET sell that generates raw profits at no significant costs? Here are some examples:
-Character Storage Slots: Disk arrays and enterprise scale storage is fairly cheap. Costs $10/ea. and is being sold now.
-CD-Keys: virtually no cost. Already being sold online, sells at $50+ each
See a pattern forming?

Question: Will we be able to purchase Guildwars - Nightfall through the store? If we can, I'm doing that.
Opinion: Chapters, character slots and storage should be "buyable" through the store.

Answer, Yes, although chances are it would be GW Nightfall, standard edition only, until they maybe start ofering shipping options, as it was stated with the Factions fiasco that with CE you pay for the box extras, so to warrent charging you the CE price you have to recieve these somehow. Although perhaps there will be insentives for people who pre-order and buyh via the online store.

Changing names and appereance is COMPLETELY unreasonable, its like a metamorphose in real life, RIDICOLOUS!!!
As for selling in game "benefits" for real money, unreasonable as well, character slots OK, campains OK, storage space NOT OK AT ALL!!!
Some stuff like mugs and all, they are pretty....i would NEVER buy one of those, but i definetely see some market there
Later.

I wouldnt mind being able to in addition to buying a char slot buying the char to go in it.
what Im saying is a lvl 20 char nothing more for the char
but maybe it could have cities that are unlocked on other chars availible to map to
with the skill trainers selling all skills you have unlocked already it shouldnt be difficult for someone to use a storage account to transfer gold so a char can buy the skills it wants
why I say this is I would like to try a Rit ... but I dont want to spend forever leveling it up and going through the story again just so I can have a rit to take on elite missions or to UW or FoW and such ...

i will never pay for anything besides the actual game! no extra slots, no fancy stuff. i just want what i need to play the game. and if i have to start buying stuff to be able to compete, screw it i wont play anymore.
-Loki-
I I start seeing things like account based reconnects, auction house accessibility, better interface, etc, I'm going to hurt someone. Basically, don't start selling in the online store what you guys always said would be free to players.

please please please please please please please (you get the idea) DONT sell CE upgrades! CE is exactly what it says: the Collectors Edition. dont cheapen it by making it possible to upgrade any account to CE via the store! if you make it possible for everyone to have CE then why bother making it in the first place
/NOT SIGNED with great prejudice for selling CE upgrades in store
/signed for storage/slots and maybe novelty real life goods.
DONT CHEAPEN THE CE FOR THOSE OF US THAT ACTUALLY PUT IN THE EFFORT TO ENSURE WE GOT IT!

In the store i would like to see... Factions in "ok-lets-put-it-cheap-so-u-can-buy-it" edition at....lets say 19.95 €?. That would be great 
Seriusly.
T-Shirts would be great. They could take some of the impressive landscapes of the game in order to make some really nice ones.

Upgrades to CE. If people are willing to pay for it, then why the heck not? As long as it's offered as a slightly pricey option, then it won't be cheapened. To think otherwise is just silly.
Besides, nobody ever put any real effort into getting CE in the first place. They just spent the extra money. Not exactly an act of effort (unless it meant doing an extra lawn mowing job to raise the funds).

I want to be able to buy Nightfall CE through the in-game store once it becomes available, because I don't want another Factions fiasco where I didn't get my CE copy until weeks after the launch. Heck, I had to go to my local store to get a regular Factions copy until my CE copy arrived several weeks late. I don't want a repeat of that mess.
Now I just hope my Prophecies CE copy arrives as scheduled... I got sick of waiting for ANET to take my $170 for it.

Just had a few thoughts, what with the guild war shop being in game like other popular mmorpgs have done, (that arent charging monthly rates.) Do you think ideas like a in game currency buyer would sell?
User A sells his ingame money to the guildwars game, Guild wars sells it to User B and gets a share of the money that would go to User A.
Or perhaps have novelty items such as mounts some time, stone summit jerks have em *shakes fist*
And if they keep the rates low enough it would prevent 3rd party sites from trading guildwars gold.
An auction house would be a nice addition to. Give your items to an npc and people can scroll through the npc's item list and buy something if they like it. Would prevent all the "where are you?!" "Im by this guy with the big shield" "Ok meet me by the guy with the sword" (etc etc..) that and the anti social can trade with out talking.. huzzah!
Just an idea.
sorry if something similar was written about this, I emailed guildwars and got directed to fansites pretty much.

i would like to see an option to be able to change the name of your characters... this i would pay for and would love to see
D-BorG
There are many things that i would like to be added in GW:
Storage, inventories and 2nd proff changer in login screen, reseting how many times U changed server (it could be done if it would be time restricted - once a month), changing Ur chars looks and maybe even a name w/o loosing his exp. Also it would be great if ANet could add Dye storage. Or even a skill build changer shorcuts.... All that would be very nice to have in game...
BUT NOT 2 BE BOUGHT 4 REAL MONEY....
All that is the in-game material that ANet should put in game 4 free (some of them for ingame gold) because theese things makes GW easier and more fun to play...
What ANET should sell online is campaigns (old and new ones), extra character slots, and thats it (maybe only to alow DirectSong to sell their music packs)... ANet must not forget what is his product...
It's this exciting game (both PVE and PVP), and not to turn to gift shop or mist trader *lol u add 3 horns to 'special online armor headpiece' and leech some fools money 4 it...* That is so cheap...
One more thing, about CE items, they are CE related and they shouldnt be sold seperatly, people bought CE because of this small treats (btw its also leeching in a small way)....
Nightfall is comming, and I will buy it, just as i bought Prophecies and Factions, but i will buy it because it gives me new exciting places to take my chars, and to have new and 'scary?' adventures in it....(Lol, even the PVP will be more interesting with new proffesions...)....

I would say Inventory, I would love space so I could buy more armor sets and possibly weapons, eventually you run out of space and you gotta ditch some equipment. $5 for 500 slots of inventory sounds reasonable.
Here's another thing that could be usefull, costumize weapon to an account, not a char, what if you have to erase it, then the weapon is useless.

I would like to see a bigger storage without paying for it... And especially bigger bags... No space for armor. :/

hmm, CE Keys.. i think they would have to make them pricey but i hate the idea, its a special thing that u get for buying CE edition and if u put it into the GW store then everyone and their mom would have it since it would be so easy to get and so many people are willing to pay for something like that, idk it just defeats the purpose of buying CE imo, it would take the individuality out of it -if anyone said anything about this before sry, didnt read through the 20 pages-
