I love this game and i’m having fun playing but i have to say that the items available in the gem store kinda suck. I would have thought there would be many more cooler looking armor skins to buy for your toons. I have not purchased any of the skins available because i dont like them. If you had a larger variety of better looking ones available then i would buy more gems. The only item i think looks kinda cool is the Aviator sunglasses but i haven’t purchased them because i cant wear them in combat…

yup they do indeed need many more choices.

and this game is suppose to be funded by that cash shop….not doing great that’s for sure.

it’s like walking into your local sweet shop and seeing 3 of your most hated sweets and the clerk saying well those are your choices..don’t want them…move along then.

Selection after 6 months – 1 year > selection at launch. In the real world, everything doesn’t happen at once.

I remember when I was young, if you wanted to watch a movie you had to leave the house and either go to a theater or a rental store instead of selecting one through Netflix… sometimes you just have to wait for things…

Normally I don’t say this but, the game is young and they’re still gauging what will and will not be acceptable in the gem shop. Trust me you’ll start seeing things in there that people will buy. Already people ARE buying and thats with subpar stuff in there.

true it will get better, and i’m usually the first to say the very same thing as well.

but i gotta be honest the light armour is just nasty looking…profane uggg just horrible.

how that passed a visual style panel for inclusion as the first choice of light armour i’ll never know.

I know things dont happen at once but they could add more weapon and armor skins, maybe different dance moves, even different spell animation.

Well, you also had a vast selection of cable channels and movie channels too!

I understand your point though. But I could/would have easily spent $40+ on this game if they had some cool things in the shop. Bank space and Bag space is all that I have purchased and I’m starting to forget the whole Gem store is there honestly as nothing really seems that interesting.

But, I’m one person, I’m sure there are a ton of people buying sunglasses and pirate outfits.

Ah, at least the game does not tempt me to spend more money than I can spare

I don’t really care about gem store items… except minipet packs (I am a minipet addict).

Well lets wait for the 10/22 update. Devs already announced new stuff… the makeover kit alone appeared for like 2 seconds and a lot of people bought it immediately before it was taken down (not ready yet).

Cancer is also a Zodiac sign.

They’ll surely add more and better stuff. But having “cooler” armor skins in the gem store than available in-game right from the start would’ve soured the game for a lot of people that just spent $60.

I agree the gemstore is very bare right now with not a single thing that tempts me to spend money

Here is how to get me to spend money –
Style options – Top Hat, Pirate costume, sunglasses, ect.
Get rid of the no combat thing. Why is that there? who cares if my character is running around in a top hat or pirate costume. have it disabled only for pvp if that matters. But there is no reason for me to buy clothes that I can only use walking about a town.

Random dyes and Random pets – Why would I spend money on something that I dont know what I am getting? Its like going to a store and buying a “box of clothes” with no idea whats inside. I will never buy random items. That includes lockboxes or keys.
Give us a list colors and pets for purchase and then ill spend money.

So far the only thing that sounds like something I will purchase is when they eventually put a character customization and rename kit up.
