Tell the Store Team

[QuarterMasterM]

How it works:
From time to time we'll be asking you questions, and here in our thread, you tell us: What comes to mind; what you think; how you feel; etc, as it relates to the question(s) at hand.

Ground Rules:
No Personal Attacks, and if you wish to discuss the topic, you must first give your answer to the question. Because we want this to be a place where we can gather valuable feedback from our community, we're going to be a little tougher on the rules enforcement here.

Why do we sometimes ask you to limit your answers?
Because what we’re looking for are the top issues or absolute best answers you can give. Anyone can come up with a top ten list of things they’d like to see. Filling out a list is easy, but coming up with the most important issues or the things that really matter takes a bit more thought. Those are the responses we’re looking for.

Reminder: This is not a discussion thread. It is a Q&A. We ask questions, you give your answers. Multiple posts, editorials, debates/opinions about someone Else's answer, will be ignored or deleted.

Polls: Polls will allow you to vote only once. You cannot change your vote once it is submitted.

Question!
What items/features currently in the game would you like to see added to the Store (aside from the ability for VIPs to buy quest packs)? Please list no more than 5!

Airship beacon x100 or a wand of Airship beacon!

The 10 TP isn't a bad price, but you could sell the larger quantity at a bundle price, maybe 500 TP. Would be really popular with guild runners.

The only thing I can think of is if you are going to sell a "open Quest on Elite" item, it should be "any quest for 3 hrs" vs a 1 shot deal... at least at the current price... spending 4 hrs to grind out points to spend to save yourself 10 minutes just isn't worth it in my opinion...

Else, nothing... I'd actually like to see more store items in game... (have been lucky enough to loot a +3 lesser heart of wood, and a medium loot gem, so far so good)

[SiliconShadow]

* Epic dungeon token fragments
* Blueshine armours (+to hide)
* Elven items (+to move silently)
* Everbright weapons+1
* The easier to get crafting collectables ie prayer beads but not the hard things like slight split soarwood

[darktau]

An Item that changes looted "Bind to Character" items into "Bound to Account, Binds to Character on Equip".

I never get the item I want to drop for X class when playing X class.

[IronClan]

I will repeat: an Item that changes looted "Bind to Character" items into "Bound to Account, Binds to Character on Equip". So I can pass something I pull onto a character that needs it.

Also many many MANY more cosmetic options, including rehueing and re-skinning options for generic and named armors and shields... Visible cloaks, sir coats, a couple hundred more cosmetic helms and hats... A reskin option for Leviks Defender...

I generally don't want in game items to be available in the store. I think it cheapens the game. However,...

I would put in the crafting ingredients for the Live events like "Mabar" and the "Anniversary Pirate one" into the store. Since the events are limited time only, it is not so much about being able to acquire the items given enough time as being able to grind for long periods of time during a very small window (that might conflict with work pressure or planned holidays). Being able to short cut these events with instore purchases seems reasonable given the nature of these events. *



* I should add that this does risk the issue of conflict interest for Turbine if they release an event where the ingredient needs are unreasonably high thus making it appear that store purchases are required.

Shroud Shards
Mindsunder Discs maybe
ToD boot ingredients maybe



Im a fairly new player, (just got my first toon to 20) Have played mmo's for a long time. I think adding any type of wearable endgame type gear to the store is just a bad idea.

Even if you could by shroud shards (cause I can never ever ever seem to get a small one to even start my greensteel upgradings, I already have two supreme ones!) you would still need to grind ingredients thus making the gathering meaningful for us newer guys.

Mindsunder discs are just annoying to grind out, and you would still need to complete mindsunder and hope for the item you want anyway. ToD

Boot ingreds are the same, your still gonna want to run the quests to get the set items you want but at least if your major unlucky and or want to just head towards ToD while your still grinding out that belt, you could buy those items as needed.

Here we go....

The ability to buy a level 20 character *ducks for cover*

...but I am serious

Greensteel deconstruction.

I am only leaving one suggestion for emphasis.

I second this vote. doesn't even have to be really cheap. i'd pay 500-750 per tier for it, just to have it.

[Valindria]

Greensteel deconstruction.

I am only leaving one suggestion for emphasis.

My #1 as well. Hopefully done correctly and not too expensive in terms of TP.

From a coding perspective it seems like not that hard of a fix. This is theoretical as I have never seen the code but If you know X+Y+Z = item then you should be able to Destroy Item and add X+Y+Z back into the inventory.

[amethystdragon]

To be honest I can not think of one thing in game (other than named items) that we can not get some type of version in the store. I think the store should be for upgrades for Free players, cosmetics / fun stuff, and quick conveince items. For the most part you seemed to have done that. We don't want to be able to buy everything from the store, because then there would be no point in playing the game.

[alcosebahair]

change first name / surname
instead of just turbine tuesdays as 50%, maybe add turbine fridays as 50%

[dkyle]

None. I cannot think of anything currently earnable in-game, using in-game resources, that should be made available for TP on the store. And none of the remaining, meager benefits only VIPs get should be made available either.

[dunklezhan]

I thought and thought, and couldn't think of anything really currently in game that I'd want to see in the store. The only things I could think of that weren't represented in the store were crafting ingredients and collectibles, and I wouldn't actually want to see them there.

If you were to ask about things in store that I'd like to see in game, or even just 5 things I'd like to see in the store it would be much easier to answer. Sorry. This isn't a helpful response I know.
