damn i remember when GW first came out and everyone was really ticked off because all the CE did was make your emotes glow. now it seems everyone wants one. i basicallyy jus want the character slots and i wouldnt buy anything else. a free update they could do though would be to make an emote that shows a picture of the town your allience owns or something (kind of like rank but intead of an animal head it shows a picture like the ones in Hell's Precipice)

Nothing that can be traded to another player. Anything bought in that shop shouldnt be for anyone other than the person who bought it. No items that are better stat-wise. Only cosmetical differences. No skills that cant be gotten normally. No buying rank. As long as those things stay out of the shop I'm fine with everything else.

People that buy the expanded storage have an advantage -_-
They get to horde up on items buy buying them when the economy has them at a low price, and sell them all when they become very valuable.
I'm also completely and strongly against demanding that players pay extra for a feature that you obviously have all of the time and manpower to develope. That means things like "special armor skins" or mini-pets or storage or anything like that.

I am reposting information which a friend posted to a private forum. I agree with his reasoning and logic so I repost it here;
In my opinion, the only ideas that have true merit are those that have real-world objects on the other end: more storage, more character slots, a t-shirt, a hat. (Storage and character slots take server storage space)
There are a group of things that are personal only that are dubious: pay for a character change (new hairdo, new face, name change), unlock packs, customized useless equipment, access to emotes, customized mini-pets. These either dilute the novelty of rewards already given (pets), or remove the opportunity for those services to be integrated into the GW economy for everyone (hairdressers).
Then there are things that are either unworkable, are outright unbalancing, or risk linking GW economy to that of the real world - a very bad idea: pay to upload a new guild cape image, platinum/ecto, faction, guild rank, uncustomized anything, titles.
So, I will watch in interest. The first group, I'd like to see. I wont quit if I see some from the second group and you will only see heels if there are things from the third group.
(Disclaimer: yes I know that you can buy platinum/ecto online for real-world cash. It's against the terms of service and you can get banned for it - I'm happy with the status quo in that regard).

K
Character slots which will allow all classes to be played on one account and also provides more storage with each slot you buy.
(I guess we know now why we got screwed and only received 2 slots in factions. Bad idea to make your customers dissatisfied only for a future profitable venture. It will only work a few times and players lose confidence in A-net each time.)
I wouldn't mind to see unique outfits/hats for your ingame characters. Items that are pre customized so they can't be traded and offer no armor. Just things that are for fun and show you support the game.
I think t-shirts will be a loss. I RARELY see people at the mall with current video game shirts and the ones I do see wearing them usually are not a good advertisement for that game or its community... if u get my drift
I would rather you guys spent money on things that only effected the game.
People join a game or quit a game based on the game. I have yet to see anyone join or quit a game over a coffee mug.

in additions to slots, me want these
1) Unique Weapon/Shield Skins chosen from Monthly Concept Fan Art
2) Account Keys (Collectors, Standard, Upgrade)
3) Shirts, Bags, Mugs, Skill Pins and Real Life Model of Some Ingame Items (Mursaat Hammer, Fell Blade, Fiery Dragon Sword Etc or Even Armors :O)
4) Interface that will let us design our own guild logo, or save our own customized build
5) one time purchase that will unlock 50% of all the skills (prophecies+released expansion(s) that a player owns)
6) limited gold purchase (legalized but regulated (
), say we can only buy 100k gold bulk two times. :O). *** yea for new players' seed money so instead of undergoing the rigorous initial grinding, they can buy necessary items and pvp
7) and the bloody stickers! Stickers!
how about Vanilla Ice's dance step?

So lets see.. what should the ingame store offer. I'm sure what I'm gonna time is just a repeat but he, why not.
- Ingame access to an "auction house"
- Purchasable promotional items from the past
- Ability to purchase faction points for either Alliances or Balthazar
- Tickets to change your appearance
- Just a wild idea.. Mounts!

After sine thoughts, sleep,and some coffee.
NO in game items/skins/gold of any kind (excluding the extra character slots of course) The only thing I wouldnt object to would be new mini pets as long as there bound to your account meaning you couldnt sell them or trade them to other players but you could pass them around to your own characters. Mini pets are just plain fun and silly. Also they do not affect gameplay at all if you have or dont have one.
NO upgrading your account with pre order goodies. Pre order is over thats why its called pre same as pre searing you cant go back. Unless of course you make a new Tyrian campaign character. Same with CE stuff. You didnt buy the CE when it came out deal with it. But of course the option to buy Chap 3 Pre order and CE from the site.
Customizable coffee mugs. You pick the color/skill/npc/mob you want on it. Me:Necro green mug with Spiteful Spirit guarding my coffee....touch my coffee you will die.
Mini statues/action figures (think Todd McFarlane) of various mobs found in all 3 chapters. I would LOVE to have a mini necrid horseman statue on my desk. Perhaps a mini skipping Gwen flute in hand.
Various stuffed animals. Who wouldnt find a lil plush Fungal Wallow cute?
Replica weaponry. (small scale) Altho I would love to have a full size Fellblade I have no where to put it and I would be half tempted to grab it and run into a crowd of people while screaming Watch Yourself! while trying to tank them as they proceed to beat the hell out of me with sticks and purses.
All kinds of different styles and sizes of maps.
And of course the usual selection of mousepads, t-shirts, posters, and various other promotional items.

If you could purchase faction, you put your guild at an advantage, and other guilds at a disadvantage, you also trade in factio for amber/jade, then bam you just got gold from selling those.
Mounts = never.
