cash shop suggestion

i think they should allow players to buy a "set" of glamours for a small fee for example say you want the Demon set of healing from World of Darkness but you don't have the time why not allow you to buy a set of its skins from the cash shop (each item would be a lv 1 white item with no stats so that way players cant buy an actual Ilv upgrade or anything) I am not saying add every item "set" in the game only stuff from say coil 1,2,3 and Tower 1,2 and 3, now i have no problems going to farm theses myself but the ques are well over 60 min each and i know not everyone has that kind of time to sit around for a glamour item.

what do you all think? is this a good idea or do you think i am only "enabling" people to be lazy?

My suggestion would be to remove the cash shop not add to it

that would probably be nice as well i don't care for or agents it really but i am sure it here to stay so why not use it for "good"

What IveraIvalice said. Cut out the cash shop, for fuck's sake. This is already a paid MMO. You want new ways to get glamours? Get the devs to make certain items tradeable. Make a revised glamour system. There are plenty of options that don't involve screwing over the players for more money.

The cash shop is here to stay , it will only continue to grow larger.

I am not against it in any way but thats just my opinion.
I would love to see more glamour in the shop as you described op and not just the hideous head gear and silly event items we have now.

I do respect those that do not support it, but the best thing for them to do if they despise it so badly is to not use it..or not play the game if it truly offends them (and i dont want that to sound like a diss because its not meant that way, its just reality if they really really hate the idea of it, they have a choice)

No. If it's in the game then earn it like everyone else had to.

I'd agree to this only if they had no intentions of keeping the content relevant. If so, then sure, throw the design onto a Lv. 1 glam and sell it. But knowing their past track record of setting up grinds (like the relic quest line) for the purpose of keeping old instances active, I'd say there will probably be no need, at least for a long, long while- once we've got multiple expansions for instance. Even then I'd prefer they somehow cycle that particular look back into more relevant gear so that it's still available in game, maybe dyable or something.

I don't think that things which are obtainable as normal drops should be in the cash shop, but I don't see a problem with continuing to add missables to it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can use the Bomb Dance unless you participated in that event (last year?), and most of my characters weren't there for it. I'm glad we can purchase it instead of waiting for the event to pop again.

well as i said to IveraIvalice i wouldn't be agents the removal of the cash shop ether but as Mindylou stats it is here to stay i am not for or agent it i just fell like it should be used for some "good" rather then just 20 bucks for a mount that dose not look that great or a few minions.

well that's why i used the tower 3 healing set as an example i don't think adding the say lv 50 DF green sets would not be a good idea but like say Tower 3 I'm helping some one farm there demon helm and its a 60+ min que to get a group that can barley get to the boss they need that has the item so for some one like that this would seem like a good option for them.

that is what i do but i know not a lot of people have the same amount of time to play that i do i play 18-20 hrs a day 7 days a week but i know some people that can only play 20 hrs a week so they don't have the time it takes to sit in que for say tower 3 (60 min on my server) then they don't have the 60+ min it takes to run it (cuz trolls) to get 1 or 2 items just for a glamour item.

well that's sort of why i suggested a "zeroed out" version (you know like how you can craft a lv 1 white no stat version of the Foestriker's Tabard just for the sake for glamour) if they left the stats on it would just be well bad.

If it's actual items from raids then that should be an incentive to run them.

I'm perfectly fine with the addition of glamor-only things in the cash shop that are outdated from events useless as gear.

But it would nullify the hard work some people had to go through for those actual sets.

As many said, I know it's not a new player's fault of queuing for sake of getting an item for glamour. Yet it's also not fair for old players who waited for queues and re-queued for an item.

What was once grinded now is an already MSQ reward, I don't intend any harm.. But seeing a white mage walking with yagrush i110 as reward given, verses my yagrush which I grinded the tome in Syrcus tower for weeks. Please be considerate that owning some items is a privilege for the players that stayed and played for a long time. As suggested you can also grind them the same method, I still want few items myself.

I am not against or with adding glamours to cash shop, adding won't hurt any one if they are Not the same exact looking as the ones in game.. Similar armor sets or cooler in some sort of way, yes, but not the exact Demon set, Light set, or whatever set.

i am not saying you can pay like 10 bucks to be handed usable i90 items i am more or less saying why not a zeroed out skin for a few bucks (sort of like the event items you mentioned just well the tower or coil skins)

in response to Kuwaitum
see as a person from beta that has earned all this stuff the old way i wouldn't really be that offended by it personally (as long as the stats on said item where removed as stated a few times in this thread) yes i agree that buying a set of demon gear with its stats still on it would be bad and i am not suggesting that I'm suggesting why not pay a few bucks for its SKIN of said item not to get the ACTUAL items themselves.

here we go again.

i am afraid you are going to have to explain yourself as i don't get what you are referring to

Why ask for it in the cash shop?

Why not ask for it as something in the GC, which can be purchased with GC seals (a nearly dead currency as it is). MGP perhaps?

The primary complaint from most you will hear, is that you are asking to pay for something already achievable in game. Why not just ask them to make it easier to get in game by adding it to a dead vendor (like they already did with seasonal rewards and i90 gear).

There is really no reason, to not add these for a usable in-game currency that we already have.
