Q:

Just a quick question…
Will we ever see old, cosmetic items in the gemstore like the wide rim glasses or aviators again?

I would count on it. I don’t know about those items specifically, but they’ve been re-circulating previous gem store stuff for a while now.

They have the items already made. There are probably people who would buy it. They would be stupid not to sell it again at some point. I guess they don’t make such things permanently available because it:
a) increases their value/allure if they are more rare or harder to get
b) keeps players paying attention to what is rotating in the store
c) keeps store clutter to a minimum

You probably wont see this sold because things that are limited edition tend to sell a lot more and keep value.

The OP was talking about gem store items that were worth a fixed amount of gems and not sellable to other players. Anet is making exactly 0 money from not having them for sale, and a lot more if they do put them up for sale. (And soon please, I want my bunny ears)

some of those models are bugged on charr, bringing them back would mean they have to actually fix charr problems, so it will never happen

If there’s one thing I’ve learned with ANet, it’s that “Never say never”. Colin was quoted once as saying that he didn’t want to see the Molten Jetpack return as that would devalue its status, and yet lo and behold, it came back during the Battle of LA.

If there is enough demand for something, and ANet can profit from it, it will return.
