What Would You Like (or not like) To See In The Cash Shop?

I hope it's called 'Grinding Gear Game Gold' or just GGGG for short.

Megaphones come to mind, as something I don't want to see. Forced world spam is one of the reasons I don't play Asian MMOs. If anything like this was added to PoE I would simply not play the game, regardless of any other factor.

I guess it's going to be a bartering-system.. you'll have to send in your clothes, especially pants (highly demanded), which rewards you aforementioned GGGG.

I consider it a fair tradeoff, wearing a pair of pants in front of the computer is uncomfortable anyway. ;p


edit: to provide some sensible input:

I'd consider buying
- character-skins
- minion-skins (! I'd like my oily, tary, black zombies)
- extra character slots (I do not like creating additional accounts)
- to a lesser extend armour-dyes

Being able to use your stash remotely from anywhere for a fee could be a good idea. Basically you would pay to be able to use your stash anywhere for a set period of time. Something like 24 hours in game time or perhaps just a week real time. Pretty much this just is a convenience thing for people with money to blow who don't want to waste time with a town portal, or to just stash items quickly. I know some people may think why would people pay to be able to use the stash remotely when they can just use a town portal. But you would be surprised what some people will spend their money on for convenience.

Another idea is perhaps being able to save the gear your character is wearing when you die in hardcore. An example would be when you die in hardcore, you could pay for item which will stash everything you have equipped on the hardcore realm. You would have to buy the item before you died and have it in your inventory. I'm sure some people would be against this and personally I don't really like it too much either. But I really want GGG to succeed with this game and be profitable, so I'm just trying to help them out with any ideas.

hmm im not sure, all i know is that if things from the cash shop give ANY advantages to dmge or items or anything like that i wont be playing, along with my 3 friends,ive played free games befor, not knowing how bad the cash shop is, and it bascily ruined the hole game. thats my 2cent :)

Its my understanding that this WONT be the case. GGG have stated they wont be selling any game changing things for real cash, but more stuff like vanity items (gear skins) and stuff which just makes the process of playing a bit less time consuming like extra stash space.

I would absolutely hate if we had to purchase a currency to purchase items. It makes me so mad when games make me purchase points or bones or gems or some other bullshit to just to turn around and spend those points on another purchase. Companies do that on purpose to trick people. It's all about marketing and psychology. I would be so much happier if GGG just made everything a fixed amount in dollars or pounds or any other real currency.

I would love to buy a different cursor. Color/Icon

It's not about "tricking" as much as it is about psychology. It's like buying tokens when you go to an arcade center, or tickets at an amusement park. I actually like the way it works. You basically support the game buying whatever amount you like, and then you don't feel bad for spending like 5 bucks on some stupid cosmetic item since the actual 'money transaction' has already happened. It separates supporting the game and purchasing items so that you buy what you want without bargain shopping. Does this encourage people to spend more money? Yes. Is that a bad thing?

Also I want cosmetic game pets. Like something that changes zombies to clown zombies etc...
