With the coming of the bonus pack the demand for purchases in the Guild Wars online store have risen greatly.

I would like everyone to post their ideas for what they should sell in the online store and to comment on each others posts.

I for one think they should sell more storage space, as they do character slots.

Happy posting.

As much as I'd like to get some of the festival hats that I missed, I think that would be a bad idea. The most fun part about going to the festivals is getting the special hat, and then being able to show off to all the people who don't get one. :P It's great fun being able to show up at the events wearing one of the special events and having a bunch of people gather around you screaming "omg!"

If you could simply buy them all, it would make them a lot less special, same goes for the dances and special aura. These things should be kept exclusive.

In game storage?
Sure
Even with the storage increase, many people with multiple chars like to hold multiple weapons and armor sets.

Festival hats?
IMO, No.
Uniqueness of being there for the festivals makes that hat more special.
If you like the hat that is.

CE specials like dances and Divine Aura?
IMO, No.

Other ideas:
Simple stuff like hats, shirts, mugs, skill set pins, cloth maps, keyboard overlays, bumper stickers, (like direct song) additional music or unique sounds and music, and maybe even additional bosses/greens from the selected but not top winning design a weapon/name boss contests.

Divine Auru shouldn't be sold. It was a present to those brave enough to fork out the extra cash on a game they most likely hadn't played before. I have the CE version for all 3 games on my 2nd account..shame I don't use that account anymore.

I'd personally like to see a pack with the preorder items from GW Prophecies, like the Ithas Bow, Chimeric Prism, etc

1. more mission packs: for example: still two statues at TOA without a mission so one pack for those two missions and people will buy it.

2. hat and bag pack: no I'm not talking about festival hats or existing bags like charr bag. I'm talking about pirate hat(s), Robin Hood hat and what not.

3. emote and dance pack: farting etc., dance the macarena etc.

4. sound pack

5. more weapon packs like Goty: an example would also be class related item packs.

6. mini pet pack which you can't sell ingame with minis like Gaile, Alex or even creeps etc.

7. emblem and cape pack: dozens of new symbols and cape design stuff

8. aura pack (without divine aura): just some other cool auras for all classes, including a new one for monks too.

9. Tatoes and jewelry pack

10. disguise or potion pack: walk around like a charr or avicara etc.

I have a lot more ideas but if they're interested they should offer me a job lol. The people who are responsible for the online shop are marketing noobs anyway, wasting so much time and opportunities. We're doing their job and we will pay for it, funny thing. They should also make more payment methods available and the email bound to ncsoft is not that wonderful too.

1) Plastic surgery for my main char, I don't like the eyes that much, she looks sleepy all the time, just like me IRL, haha. So I'd like to buy the one-time ability to get a new face (there's magic in game so maybe give an ingame item like the grey giant toy to get a magician to give me a facelift).

2) The pre-order and coke items. Captain america shield, Chimeric Prism, that stuff. Since I live in the Netherlands I could not obtain them, even though I have been playing in the betas and preordered a collector's edition as soon as I could. Since the 1m edition items are in the shop too, why not these?

3) Limited Edition minipets, only available for 2 weeks or so. I don't like minipets that much but it's a nice thing to sell to the loyal playerbase. And I wouldn't mind buying one if that gives me the bonus pack for free later on.

4) More 'starter' type weapons like the pre-order/coke/CE items, with unique skins.

5) Special guild cape symbols/decorations (like trimmed capes but noticably different so the current trims remain unique) purchasable with whole guild so each player can contribute a few bucks and the decoration appears when enough money has been raised.

6) More storage!!

1. More Storage, again we do this already by buying character slots as mules, why not just let us pay for it?

2. More mission packs, small cheap expansion packs and missions will be a way to keep GW going even when GW2 comes out.

3. Obviously unique weapon/armor packs could work as well, but this might fundamentaly change the business model GW has.

4. Non in game stuff, i.e. physical things people can order, posters, collectables, etc.

I'd go for the option to change a characters hair or face, a lot of people have been crying out for it.

Other than that, Storage space and maybe some exclusive already customised items (So they can't be traded).

Storage space definitely, and I'd most certainly going for some ACTUAL merchandise, like hoodies, mugs etc....

I would like to buy storage space too.

I'm not against actual merchandise, like mugs etc. I think however this is less profitable for Anet. It will take time and people to send the goods or hire a company for that part. Also other companies would have to make the stuff for Anet. Not much profit imo versus software packs which Anet can make themselves.

Since collector's edition of Guild Wars is no longer available it would be nice if people could pay the difference and upgrade for the divine aura. No harm to players that were fortunate enough to be able to purchase collector's edition as they still received the other bonus content and the rest of us that want the aura wind up paying the same price...

EDIT: To Clarify..

I agree that having the special things, such as the divine aura in the store is probably a bad idea. People who paid extra for them or were there for that event will feel slighted.

I missed the first halloween event and would love to get the hats that were there.

I'd like to set the pets for sale though or more storage...and really this "bonus mission" pack should be way less then "spend 30 bucks". Try "spend 15 bucks".

Outside of real world there should be a lot more bling you can buy - people will spend money on it.

I would get divine aura - but everything will sell - bonus dances, new special emotes that do weird and wonderful things...extra emotes etc..

I agree that Anet are missing out on a big opportunity to capitalize on this - incremental small payments are the future....

fortunately the devs have already flatly stated that ingame CE items like DIVINE AURA will not be offered.

the AURA was the ONLY reason i got it as i didnt need the rest of the box items.

That would indeed harm us as the CE is a limited pressing, in offering it again the divine aura becomes more common and less special. That's hurting. End of discussion.

I completely agree. CEs are CEs for a reason. It's a limited amount of them and by allowing the special things from the CEs to be bought/used by everyone would make it beyond pointless to do.
