I like that idea, nice, simple solution for those of us who feel underpriviledged due to lack of debt (credit card)

I was thinking of those with Prophecies only accounts and soon to be Factions if they decide not to buy Nightfall.My thought are these is to add more content through the online store and this would include new weapons and greens and possibly new bosses anyway this would be for those that just have Prophecies and it would include the material storage as well.They say they won't add new content to Prophecies as there would be no profit for it so what about through the store.
I would hope that there would be a few more quests and missions as well.

I'd like to be able to get Heroes in Tyria and Cantha. I'd price it at $15 per campaign. Though they'd have to make new Heroes for the other campaigns. It would be cool to pick them up at various locations like in Nightfall. So it would be a challenge and you wouldn't have to put up with subpar henchies for the whole game. Heroes would be very helpful in Factions. There are some missions that you want a certain configuration of professions and abilities and praying some strangers will meet your needs is for the birds. Having a guaranteed 55 Monk or SS Necro when you need them lets you relax and have more fun.

I think I posted on this earlier but it was prob like 20 pages ago lol.

Ashleigh I totally think real world items would rock (char plushies!)
Dwarven mug beer glasses? Coffee mugs with a rez sig on them?? My fave idea, a t-shirt that says "Will someone please rez Aleshia?"

other than that I echo what ( most) ppl are saying. Char slots, etc but PLEASE ANET dont screw it up by letting ppl buy gold/rares etc, isnt ebay bad enough?

according to gaile this is free

edit- yeah that is a fair point vala, but i doubt it will be put into practice,
because there will be so few people not buying nightfall.

What if you don't buy Nightfall? It'll be like 3 more months before I beat Factions with my Tyrian character and Prophesies with my Canthan character. I'll probably buy Nightfall around Christmas so the need isn't dire but I'm advocating for people who own one or both of the other campaigns and are content with them for now.

I would kinda like to see new items and weapons NOT AVAILABLE to be found ingame. You would purchase them and they would be autocustomised for your character so you cant sell them. Not UBER items, but weapons or items that wouldnt be found ingame. Also, it might be an idea to put armor in the store also, like 15K armor by class and also maybe FOW armor by class. The reason for this is simple, if players can buy 15K armor or fow armor for say maybe 30 dollars, then they wouldnt goto ebay or someplace (violate the ueula) and buy ebay gold which hurts the GW economy. This way Anet gets the money, and its a legitimate purchase and no violations occur. I know there are drawbacks to the armor idea, like nobody would goto fow for armor if they could just buy it. Its just an idea.......thats all...Im not perfect

Extra region switches - $5 a time. I had hoped that we would get another 5 with each chapter but it doesn't look like that'll happen.

Hero's are a Nightfall feature that can only be used in the other chapters if you have purchased nightfall.

It's a bit like why you don't have Rit's and Assasin's in Prof unless you have factions.

**grabs her matches and approches Destiny.....

j/k lol but c'mon.....the whole point of having a GAME is to PLAY right? So why should you BUY a better char? Learn to PLAY better, create a build thats YOURS etc, you dont need to but att points, that'd mean ppl with more RL money would have a buffer (is that a word?) char than a potentially great player w/o lots of cash and that's counterproductive.

As for armor c'mon....havenn't we covered this? So many points why this is a B A D idea, and personally it'd tick me off, I worked hard for my fow man.

It would be better to get people to actually earn their armor rather than just giving them a "legitimate" place to buy it from.

Rit and Assassin are professions. You expect that you'll have new professions in the new chapters that you can't access in the new chapters. That's why you can't make an Assassin or Rit in Nightfall. Heroes are more like an upgrade. Like material storage. Material storage should have existed all along and people who are willing to pay should be able to get it. ANet wants to make $$ and make the players happy. Honestly I think they should also let you unlock Rit and Assassin for a fee if you didn't get Factions. If I'd known about the locked gates and the new types of missions I might not have even bought Factions. *shrug*

About selling attribute points...bad idea. Period. Let's wait until they raise the max level to 40 to get more attribute points.

To all those calling for game cards that can be purchased at brick and mortar shops and then used to buy items in game store, why not just purchase an Amercain Express gift card?

I'm not saying game cards are a bad idea, but in the mean time, you can purchase gift cards from credit card companies that work just like credit cards.

Umm...yep! After reading through all of the thread, so many people said the same thing, couldn't remember how many had mentioned that.

"So, don't you think that selling gold in the store is a bad idea? I mean it would really disrupt the economy."

But seriously, you can do the Amex gift card thing. It works.

I still want to see "special" items for sale. You know, like GOTY weapons (I'll be damned if I'm going to buy Prophecies again just for that)...

since they'd come autocustomized it wouldn't unbalance the game any, after all.

i agree with several of the other posters that items sold in the store should not affect game play. no green items attribute points or other things like that. no increased storage as this would be unfair to ppl who dont want to spend the money.

i would like to see items that enhances how you customize your character. maybe some hats or other headgear (like the dragon mask or pumpkin head). clothes or costumes to wear around town would be cool too. how about a santa outfit you can buy for your character this chirstmas.

these items would be inexpensive. maybe $5 for 2 or 3 different constumes or other items.

different hairstyles would also be cool. or hair dye. you could pick up a pack of several different styles or colors for just a couple of bucks.

several of these ideas include items and may begin to clog ppls inventory. this issue may need to be addressed.

I'd like to see completely new bonus-type weapon skins with large particle trails that are available as a one-time purchase per account (or as pre-order type gear). They would still follow the rules of normal gear but just have completely unique eye candy not found in the game. These items would be aimed more at collectors since all they would offer is eye candy.
