    Acceptable Cash Shop Items: Suggestions!

    I would like to start a discussion of suggestions for acceptable (not P2W) items, effects, and services that SE can make more money on with out destroying the game.

    Here are some of my initial thoughts:

    *Race abilities switch: Allow you to replace with the appearance of one race but the statistics of another. Basically glamour for race selection. Yes this is a minor benefit, but hey, some like myself would buy it. Noticed a few days ago, an Roegadyn the other day had a lower item level gear, but had more HP than my Miqo'te by a few hundred HP even. Not much, but it was disturbing they were lower iLvl than I at the same time.

    *Glamour Items: I am 50/50 on this one, but its a possibility. Perhaps 1 set a year? Gender nutral too would be preferred.

    *Barding: More acceptable than straight up glamour to me. Maybe a cycle with a different set of barding for each zodiac period. When that gets old have versions 2+ show up, with the originals/older versions being on sale for a cheaper price.

    Anyone else have any additional ideas?

    Now if you have any suggestions granting any sort of game mechanic idea, I won't be addressing them here, and I kindly request it not be dealt with here. If you want my impute or join in the discussion, you can check it out Here.

    OOOH I TOTALLY agree. However they will need up up their money intake, so I think it is unavoidable. I just want to help steer it in a good direction.

    Idk, even Fantasia is really P2W... I see people buying 100's of them to be able to switch race when they switch class.

    A mount would be ok at most if you ask me.

    Learn, explore, and think for yourself. Make your choices, take actions, and let yourself be free.

    NON. I don't want a cash shop.

    Cash shop in ok, But because it's to easy once one is in place to make the game pay2win, I will have nothing to do with it.

    If you think $10 for every class change is worth the +/- 5 points in any given stat that various subraces give....

    On topic, there is nothing acceptable. SE has already caved to the demands of fools eager to part with their money. Stop clamoring to spend more money than your subscription. If you want something, ask to have it implemented without begging to pay extra money for it.

    Why on earth would anyone *want* a cash shop added to a pay monthly game?

    Your already paying for the service, why don't they just add more things *everyone* has equal access to.

    I could never, not even once accept something that gave even a minor benefit if you had to pay with real money (no matter how useless it might seem, it still matters). I can accept anything that made things look good, perhaps some mounts or cool looking armor to glamour, but nothing that modified your gameplay.

    Fantasia is fine. But I don't even want to see glamour items, mounts, or bardings. As soon as that stuff gets added to a cash shop it gives the dev an incentive to not give us good looking gear and put the best looking stuff in the cash shop. We already pay a sub we should get any items introduced without the need to pay extra.

    Agreed. This is probably one of the reasons I've steered clear of many an MMO. I don't like that in order to look like I put in work, I had to put in money. I like how it is now. I look like an awesome bard because I put in the work and time needed to. I could look better and will (if T1 and T4 ever decide to drop my stuff instead of tank/monk all the time). I'd hate to see this game digress into a contest of who has the most disposable income.
