There are so many perma pre toons in pre these days and we did pay money for these items and will do when they add more costumes in the future.
Also add a hat maker while there at it would be nice.
Thoughts?
Add a Costume maker in Pre searing

I suggest they add one to Pre it won't give us any armor advantage so I can't see why they shouldn't.

i disagree in my opinion i think it would ruin the pre experience. you dont want to see people running around in pre with "elite" looking anything. its pre for pete's sake.

It obviously has no effect on the game, so there really shouldn't be a problem. Pre is about enjoying the scenery game wise and enjoying its own lil niche community, which consists pretty much of hanging out in town
If people want to wear costumes...I'd support it.
/signed
P.S. If you want to use there shouldnt be anything "elite" in pre thought process..... Then lvl 20 shouldnt be available and with it obviously the title.

It should just be a matter of putting one NPC in Ascalon City. That'll only take a few mins. Given that there are so many people with perma pre characters, it'd be a nice addition.

Festivals do not take place in pre-Searing, and thus I see no reason to add NPCs for handing out festival gear.

Pre is meant for players to start off and then LEAVE to the real game. Not that I wouldn't mind this, though, but I am familiar with some of anets intentions for some things. This idea would go against one of them.

edit: The only way this idea would work is that Ascalon City in post-searing ALSO got this update. Otherwise, when a character sears, they'll no longer be able to change costumes until they reach Lion's Arch. And that would piss me off.
Thanks, Mike.

At his wiki page, John Stumme mentioned he would like to see a poll about whether people would mind having a costume maker in Pre-Searing. Since he's the main GW1 designer, I think it's a good idea to make such poll. The admins will add the poll itself here sortly, but in the mean time the options would be:
1) I would like costume makers in Pre-Searing.
2) I wouldn't use them, but I wouldn't be bothered if they were added.
3) I think ArenaNet should not add costume makers to Pre-Searing.

it doesnt hurt the game play in pre. would be nice to be able to get costumes so i can stop seeing clones of myself walking around. and what makes you think they didnt have parties in pre? from what i can remember it was kinda peaceful and a happy time then until the searing.

i want to know about the ppl who voted no.
would you vote no to all costumes anywhere?
have you purchased any costumes?
because it seems like, if you pay $10 or w/e for a costume, u'd want to use it as often as possible.
my assumption is people that don't have the costume and don't like other people having stuff they don't have are the ppl that vote no.

Many People like to roleplay in Pre.
Costumes and masks help people disguise, and that helps roleplaying.
And the only costume that is has some... 'lore incosistencies' is the White Mantle one, although the White Mantle was established before the Searing, it's not likely they ever got to Ascalon, but seeing as collectors have Krytan armor, they perfectly could.
The rest are rather generic.
The gods where known before the Searing.
The mad king, undead and liches (like Palawa Joko) existed before the searing.
Weddings could have perfectly being a common thing in Ascalon for a long time.
As for the shinning blade costume, the emblem is quite subtle, disguised as a dagger-brooch.
The only reasons I can think against it are not lore reasons.
Only motivations from envy against those that have them, a tantrum against ANet for not doing the things they want, being a retrogade that is against any and all changes that differ from the GW of 2005 (the kind of guy that was against Nicholas Sandford and the new drops from charr), or just plain malice.

However, the rage from those who just have to have 6-7 identical toons from multiple accts standing around would be amusing.

+1 to the previous post.
I have all the costumes, and I don't want to see them in Pre. Ironically, before I had the costumes, I would have liked to see them around.
Pre is getting Postified enough (too much) as it is. And as someone else mentioned, there aren't costume or hat guys in Post-searing Ascalon either.
Besides, how could I show off my '250K armor' in Pre if it's covered up?

No reason why costumes can not be in pre. I would like it verry much.
Also i want a costume maker in the guildhall and a kick hengemen from guild hall option.
We have costume makers in Shing Jea and Kamadan. No white mantle there.... so who cares. And there are all kinds of mini's that are not walking around in pre. Do they have to be removed to because some mini's dont fit in the past?

I don't actually care about lore or see it as a good basis for most decisions, but, if lore matters to the folks in charge, your argument is invalid.

Personally, I'd prefer not to have costumes because it would ruin the lovely simplicity of pre much more than minis and tonics have, and it just make it look more like post. I already hate seeing wings and flaming heads in post, so it would be even worse seeing them in pre. Festival hats wouldn't be as bad, but meh.
Also, making a bunch of dyeable things suddenly available would seriously inflate the dye economy, but whether that's a good or bad thing is subjective, I suppose.

Note that White Mantle formed at 1070, the same year when the Searing Happened.
It was not 'before they existed' it was 'around the time they were formed'.
The last Guild War ended, and then the Charr attacked Orr, Kryta and Ascalon.
And then the Searing and the Rise of the White Mantle happened, but I couldn't find which one of these two happened first.
One year later, in 1071, the Great Cataclysm happened in Arah, and in 1072 is when happens the Great Northern Wall mission.
By the time of the Great Cataclysm, the White Mantle were already in power.

Anyways, I insist that lore isn't a good basis for a decision such as this; if most people want costumes, they shouldn't be withheld if they don't fit, but costumes also shouldn't be added just because they can if they do fit. Lore is irrelevant. My problem's with Ascalon turning into an flaming, winged craphole like Kamadan or GToB. I'm some or most people would like or not mind that, though.
