Love the "Modify Looks" option, would pay for an "Appearance Package" that come with hair dye, makeup, facial hair, hair style/extensions!!!

The extra storage is alway popular (I like to hoard things).

How about the ability to hit a button to show (highlight) unexplored areas on the map, I know this affects the mapping title, but I'm at 90 - 95% on all areas and can't find the remaining areas (and it doesn't help that while you are looking over your map, that clouds are floating by partialing obscurring the detail, whose idea was that anyway???).

Extra Storage space or even specialized storage space...for example, my Mesmer and Ele have 5 sets of armor each (10 between them)...an extra slot for armor storage would be nice. I've just been using my Rit to hold some of their armor.

I know this is a mixed topic...but certain mini pets that were very limitedly available like the Asura or Destroyer, but if bought from the store, they should be 100% customized to the purchaser so they can't be sold in game or on ebay.

Figurines/model kits of characters like Eve, Vekk or Devona.

Plushies of Vekk and Zhed or fire imps.

Framed art work or posters. Stationary and other such swag to write builds on lol (mainly of Vekk).

Access to some of the foriegn special editions of the game that have the cool weapon skins (I know there is a special american prophecies edition on the site).

As unpopular as the following statement will be (puts on flame retardant suit)

In-Game-Gold.

It would single handedly destroy the "black-market" gold purchasing network, destroy the Chinese gold farming racket and effectively put an end to bots (Shing Jea anyone?)

People who buy gold are going to buy it whether it is legal or not, might as well "federalize" it and use the money going to gold farmers to fund new and exciting features in GW1 and GW2.


Also, things such as GW clothes, posters, accessories and other things of that nature would probably fetch a pretty penny for ANet.


EDIT* Extra Storage space is an EXCELLENT idea.

Adding the ability to purchase In game gold would NOT stop farming or even slow it down.

Anet would sell x amount of gold for y amount of cash.

Farmers would then just sell x amount of gold for (y minus 15%) cash in order to offer a deal.

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.
Kudos, once again for rezzing something super old.

Although this thread still has discussion potential...

As much as I would like to see that hairstylist idea many of suggested over and over and over again, as Gaile has said before... a LONGGGG time ago, it's just not possible because of GW's engine.

Title says it all really.

I would like Festival hats, Pre-order weapons, Divine Aura to be available via store etc since the BMP is now available.

Please don't give me this B.S. on me QQing. Well done, i am QQing because it seems to have worked for the BMP.

I personally would have liked the box and bought the BMP later...i like many others would like to see the majority's reaction to it before buying it...that way i don't have to spend 3 char slots just to qualify.

So...make everything available again...or give those that participated in the promotion a free Character slot or something to make up for this

P.S. I'm not participating in another promotion from Anet again

i'd love to have a divine aura even if i choose not to purchase the prophecies collectors edition back in 2005.
the divine aura was an EXCLUSIVE bonus for people buying the collector edition... just like the BONUS mission pack was an EXCLUSIVE bonus for people applying for it during the PROMOTION.

so... where's my divine aura?
no kidding, i'm serious

EXCLUSIVE = EXCLUSIVE
9.99$ in the store = ?

I agree with the suggestions already posted. I especially like the Sanctuaries
idea but I would like to touch on an item that is related to the Online Store.

1. I would like to see Guild Wars Cash Cards in Walmart/Target/Future Shop/EB Games/etc. that can be used to actually buy items from the Online store.

2. Or put special code cards in stores to sell for people who cannot use a credit card.

Doing this will reach a larger market. Not everyone who plays is age of majority. Those player's parents may not lend the credit card to their children who play GW to get the existing items in store, let alone anymore.

Also, don't forget people who cannot obtain credit cards due to personal (financial) issues.

At this point, I don't see a problem with selling the Divine Aura. Anet has folded on several other points they used to hold firm on, why not this too? After all, what's one more sell out?

Yeah, let's just give everyone all of the preorder weapons when they didn't even preorder the games from their exclusive retail stores (lol terribad GWP preorder weapons). Also, I'd like the Divine Aura for $50 as opposed to $70 mirite?

Might as well not attend holiday events since you could easily get the hats at any time.

I want divine aura and some of the old festival hats if people can get the BMP now for $9 I want aura for $9 as well thanks..actually since aura is 3 years old I want it for 3$ since price goes down on stuff. Also as I stated in another thread I want my /age set to the 1st day of GW because If I had it to do over again I would have purchased GW when it first came out and you can just leave my 2nd year b-day gifts in inventory so I can open them when I get home, kthnx.

PS.. never again will I trust an a-net promotion

Wow, just because there where obvious issues with the availability with the BMP and the fact it was a promotion and Anet NEVER said it wouldn't be offered again we get this.

/notsigned

CE's where just that, the BMP was not. One is limited edition the other was a FREE promotion after spending $30 in the Online store.Huge difference.......

agree with op

i would much rather have purchased box version and get bmp for £6, infact it would have ended up cheaper like this and i would actually have a box.

Lesson learned, will not go for anet promotional offers such as this in the future.

I didn't play Guild Wars back when Collector's Edition was available in Canada and while I'd buy a copy now, nobody ships to Canada, so yeah... particularly the Factions dances.

Not a promotion anymore - the promotion was to fuel people to buy things from the online store - now it only applies as a one-time-only gain thing.
Huge difference. And made a huge difference in the sales too...they killed their 'promotion' advertisement.
And it wasn't free. AND we missed out on the box.

Funny, thats what we thought when we spent $30 to qualify. I want the casing now to complete my 4 game collection...i sacrificed that to get the BMP. I could have bought GWEN from the nearest shop for an amount 1/2 - 2/3 that price...waited a few months (which is what i wanted to do)...then get the BMP if its amazing.

Indeed. It is not a promotion anymore. It is now a purchasable item after said item was given away for free in a promotion.

Quote:

If the BMP wasn't free, then you either got 3 free Character slots or GWEN for free.

You missed nothing. Want the manual? It's free to download on the GW website. The map is nothing much and the plastic box is gathering dust.
