[Suggestions] Gemstore Items
Three more armor sets based off of costumes from GW1.
Heavy would be Agent of Balthazar (my absolute favorite costume from GW1, see attached image.)
Medium would be Augur of Kormir
Light would be Melandru’s Vestment.
I would like these two sets as well
I’d like a Calico Cat minipet in the TP. An art file for a calico cat already exists, as there is one walking around by a farm house in Queensdale, near an npc named Cassie. I don’t think it’d be too hard to convert it into a purchasable minipet.
Anet needs to just open up the gem store and stop selling time-limited items.
I understand the impulse purchase marketing strategy, but it is just one possible strategy and there are so many better marketing strategies that don’t leave a sour taste or punish the player base.
Personally I find impulse-time-limited marketing distasteful and underhanded and I won’t support it.
If they open up the gem store, I will gladly purchase the stuff I want, but if Anet only offers the stuff I want in a time limited way then I can live without a new skin and there are other games that I play whose honest marketing strategies I am happy to support.
Anet, Please bring back the Grenth hood, So many wantz!
for the love of god, add this grenth hood already, and rox’s quiver too, many missed it during the march sales.
I think the gem store needs some changes.
The prices for some items are quite steep. Lowering the prices or giving people more gems for their money will not only help Anet to look less greedy but also give players the feeling of “oh well whats a few gems” when purchasing items. Players will feel like their money is going further and feel more willing to buy things from the gem store.
The Black Lions chests are underwhelming and the keys are over priced.
Most of the armor skins that have been put on the gem store have been relatively unimaginative. That aside, more new armor and weapon models/skins should be entering the game though game content or just as general drops and less through the gem store.
Some may bash it, but I think its worth considering adding features and content into the game that can also help the gem store grow. For example, player housing. This can offer horizontal progression to the game in allowing players to upgrade their homes and add new things through living story content as well as offer potential upgrade items and themes or wall paintings you find through out the game of concept art that can be purchased from the gem store. Armor displays and weapon racks are other ideas.
Service items are the best items to have in a gem store, however new hair styles, eye colors, faces or any other character creation options should actually be present when creating a new character and not just available through those packs. The actual game needs to be growing, not just the gem store. Players that have invested the time to level up a character they care about are going to buy the make over packs over re-rolling their character if they want any of the new options on their new character anyways.

Yes yes yes! All of this plus permanent (ie not time limited) items in the shop and other quality of life items like permanent toys, tonics and illusions, a race change makeover item and mounts.
So much potential that Anet just squanders by being greedy, stingy and having EA level (junk in other words) underhanded marketing strategies.
I’m guessing this has been said before, if so, it could use to be said again: GW1 Obsidian Armor skins.
Would be a nice throw back for all of us GW1 vets.
Sorrow’s Furnace
reorganize the GEM store, when i look in service i don’t expect boosters and other junk.
i expect character slots, bank expansions and other things to improve my account, things that are based on service.
this is how i would’ve done it:
consumables:
everything that is made for convenience and/or saves time but are a one-time item.
style:
all the skins for your armor and weapons, separated by type.(in both town clothing and armor weight)
boosters:
all the boosters.
finishers:
all the finishers, both current and new.
PvP items:
here are all the PvP custom arena tokens, custom arena time tokens and any possible future items for PvP.
service:
everything that upgrades your account, changes your characters and overall improves your enjoyment permanently. (so all perm gathering tools are here too)
makes it allot clearer then what we have now, i want to see character slots in service, not a tradesman express…
These may have been suggested already buuuut, I would love to see class and race changes in the gem store! I have two characters that I put a lot of work into when I was enjoying their race and class for the moment but now I can’t stand playing them. I don’t want to reroll and loose my 100% world map completion and maxed crafting.
How would that even work with the storyline of your character, the personal instance etc?
Who cares about personal story? I sure don’t.

Anet does.

Anet does.
They are allowed to, they develop the game. I care more about having fun with out having to redo the grind. If I’m willing to pay money for that then I don’t see why they should complain…much.
Hi, just a small idea of something to put on TP for gems.
-Unlimitid revival orb (with 1 charge once a day).
-Unlimited Repair canistair (with 1 charge once a day).
Just some idea’s! Nice thread btw.
GRENTH HOOD! pls anet take money and be done with it, my thief needs it!
Countess Anise’s Armor please
i just want an item to change my character to what ever race i want. i mean if that means setting my story to the beginning so be it.
Wind catcher effect without windcatcher itself
A backpiece that doesn’t clip with TA light helm when in combat.
Deaths Fear [Fear] / The Hardcore Caravan [HC]
Forum Warrior: Black Belt in Ninja Edits
When the Elona expansion is release:
Koss Doll – Special Afro Edition (Backpiece)
Never fight alone ever again, with one of Elona’s Greatest hero, fighting alongside you in style!
So I’m sure this idea has been proposed. At least I hope it has.
An item that allows us to reset our WvW trait points.
Well I agree it should be free. But I’m simply playing to a pattern from Anet, which is to introduce something in the Gemstore, then eventually make it free. Rendering the item useless.
But I would much rather pay gems for such an item right now, than to not be able to do anything about it right now.

How about an item that lets you move a crafting proffesion from one character to another? I know I would love to buy that as I have characters that I really dont want, but I have to keep around for crafting Or you know, make crafting accbound?
GW1: Raiment of the Lich outfit for Halloween!!!!
Class change tokens. Un-soul(account)binders.
Statistical Recombiner
Activates the option to switch between stat sets on a piece of equipment. (One-time ability)
125 gems each.
I really want Obsidian armor again. But NOT from the gemstore. It should be tier 7 craftable and require the same amounts of mats as the GW1 set http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Warrior_Obsidian_armor Just convert plat cost to gold cost for Recipe’s and make recipe’s purchasable after a world event or new dungeon or instance.
Gemstore Wishes
1: Actual Weapon skins or Straight up BL Tickets
2: Dungeon Pass → Enables you to earn another Daily Bonus chest every time you use one (For those who want dungeon armor faster)
3: I second third and fourth bringing back many GW1 armor and weapons as packs (I agree that they should be spruced up not kittenized like some imports)
4: InGame VoIP activation (gem cost covers server overhead I really want it to be just added but I understand that cost vs benefit prevents this)
5: Limited use or Permanent Hero Summoning Stone (lets you summon an NPC to help with events or personal story block them in world events wvw PvP and the like)
6: Character “Aura’s” or glow effects
7: Backpieces that don’t look like a 5 year olds backpack (1 was cute but now they are really getting old)
8: Customizable “gradient” dyes or Dye mixers + mix ins ie. metallic glowy shiny matte
9: Make Airship pass or Queen’s pass Account Unlocks PLEASE
10: Create separate “Gemstore” where items are bought with gold and price goes up with demand Real Gemstore purchases drop price of that item in Gold and get rid of Gold → Gem conversion (keep Gem → Gold though)
Bring Rox’s Quiver skin back!
Neenu Waffler-Warrior for what once was the Toast-
Bring Rox’s Quiver skin back!
This.
Toxic Mantle
Toxic Gloves
Grenth Hood
Mad King´s Outfit
I really want the paper bag helms and I’m hoping the Bloody Prince’s outfit makes an appearance soon.
-Mike O’Brien
Because we can’t be angry about both?
Self Style Hair Kit
Change it so if ‘all’ you change is your hair ‘accessory’ color, it does ‘not’ burn the kit.
This would allow us to buy one and bank it to change ‘only’ the hair accessory color from time to time (to match our clothing dye changes, as an example) without having to spend $3.13 each time.
If we change our hair style, color, anything else related to our hair, then it burns the kit as it does now.
Might ultimately encourage a few more sales, as you’d have to buy at least ‘one’ kit from the gem store to give yourself a perma-hair accessory color changer (if you will).
Seems like it would be a ‘relatively’ inexpensive thing to implement, adding code to check to see if all you changed was the hair accessory color, then not do the step that then removes the item from inventory.
Food for thought.
I would please like a level 80 scroll with the requirement of having 3 characters at 80. Leveling at this point is the most boring chore in the game and i would pay 1600 gems for it easily.
Yes please to Lyssa’s Armor, and I myself would like to see a return of the Mad King’s Outfit now that it’s no longer town clothing, but rather skins that can be used on any armor :-D
If I knew about the changes to the Mad King Outfit earlier, I would have bought it long ago, but since we didn’t, I didn’t buy it back then. It needs to return ASAP!
Toxic skins and Grenth Hood skin. Would be so happy.

Mad Kings outfit is available in the Gem Store right now, for 7 days.
On a sidenote, please do return Rox’s Quiver, Rox’s Bow, Grenth hood.
I don’t ask much, I am happy to get (primarily) Grenth Hood and Rox’s Quiver ç.ç

Woohoo! Thanks! It wasn’t there before so I thought you must have been mixed up with the executioner’s outfit that was in the gemstore earlier, but then saw your post was only posted an hour ago, so thought perhaps it truly was in the gemstore – and it is!
Anet must have read this :-D
I am a mini collector I have missed some of the event minis, Please bring those minis to the gem market please. Or make them sellable.
They would complete me…and no I do not have 30 cats.
I know several new people to the game that were not around for the events would appreciate them as well.

Ohh Ty for that info. (Trots off to gem store, gems clutched in her hot little hand while simultaneously burning a hole in her pocket).
Grenth hood.. Do it.. Take our money..
Echoing the voice of all and requesting the elusive Grenth hood.
ZzZz | Zombie Coast
For the Toast!
I’m also wanting to buy a Grenth Hood.
A lot of people have been preaching that it is a season item. Well, so is the Mad King’s outfit and the Wintersday costume. That didn’t stop them. Bring it on!
That phantom hood that’s always mocking me in the wardrobe. If mad king didn’t just come out, I would have held my gems till I stopped playing waiting for that hood.
Grenth hood, Festive Hat please!
Mad Memories complete edition as skin to be purchased for gems or the old quest please!

Mad Memories complete edition as skin to be purchased for gems or the old quest please!
I don’t see why they don’t have that quest every year. There are new people continuously buying the game as well as people from the start who deleted the books. (No comment about whether I have all mine, purely disinterested, of course). Guild Wars 1 had the same quests every holiday. It was fun and looked forward to.

I want the phantom hood back too. Would go nicely with my necro.
Please, for all those who got unlucky and are in the blackhole of the ladder (for SoloQ expecially, given the new affluence of ppl in there and the infinite drama of 4 vs 5), can we have a Ladder Reset Contract? (to zero obviously)
At least those who are currently screwed due to fail MMR/bad circumstances, can have another chance.
Title “I can’t believe I bought this” – 5 gems
On a serious note: skin packs for items already in game (unlocks a or group of skin(s) and gives a few charges), unlock reward tracks in PvP (there should be enough people willing to buy this to make it worth making/coding), Unlockable themes to be placed in claimed buildings in WvW (graphical themes such as biomes (forested, tundra, desert) and extra NPC’s ( Norn in Wintersday gear, an eclectic asuran with a bow and arrow running around during valentine’s day, more troubadours), Tonics that could be used during battle like the ones in GW1 (6th year b-day presents).
Inspiration is only as good as it’s interpreter
