Collected Ideas for Microtransactions

I love these ideas for additional customization! If I were to rank some of those by priority, I'd put hairstyles at the bottom. Gear skins, alternate genders, and additional ability animations would be my top three features I'd like to see eventually in PoE as far as perks rather than content.

Anything that help me make a Witch look like a male necromancer will be instant bought by me ^^

Something about that style that's just too damn awesome, male version of witch (warlock I guess the correct name would be)
Armor skin with alot of focus on bones/dark magic, along with skins for minions to make them even more immersive.

An animation of so much blood splashing away from mobs whenever they take a critical would be fun.

There will be a "More Gore" option in the Microtransaction Shop :)

I notice a lot of ideas like tuxedos or other arbitrarily not lore-friendly things. I'd prefer to not see any people running around in tuxedos. I think it would kind of take away from the atmosphere of the game, and replace said atmosphere with the ridiculous WoW joke atmosphere... which quite frankly, I've seen more than enough of.

I feel the same. PoE reeled me in in part because of its excellent atmosphere. I would like to see Microstransactions reflect that atmosphere, and enhance it rather than tear it down.


Anyhow, a few things I would like to see/support:

Animations
- New animations for destroying enemies (listed already as "Crit animations", but I dislike the double dependency on crit AND death). Particularly the disintegration one (maybe as "chance to disintegrate"?). Or maybe even a chance to 'special' melee kills, like decapitating a foe?
- Additional custom animations for skills. E.g. Double Strike having a different animation depending on which weapon(s) you use.
- Social animations. /dance is in since today, but where is /hello, /bye, /gj, /facepalm? :-D

Appearance
- Opposite gender for each class
- Additional options for Hair, hair colour, skin tone, face
- Toggle option to show certain gear (head)
- Depending on how much work it is, I would like to switch main and off hand (e.g. holding a Shield in the right hand, and your weapon in the left).

Cosmetic Clothing
- Hoods or cowls (well, I WOULD like to see them as regular items, but if not there, the Shop would be nice)
- Cloaks
- Additional Quiver graphics. Maybe even have the option to turn bows into crossbows. Though I would MUCH rather see crossbows as actual item class (maybe Str/Dex hybrid?)
- Speaking of things for your back: A purely cosmetic backpack. You know, to fit all the loot in? Could also be a satchel or a fanny pack or whathaveyou. Adventure-y stuff!

Characters
- Additional skins (such as different tattoos for the Marauder, a blue shirt for the Duelist, etc.)

Misc
- Some way of keeping instances from resetting for a longer time, though I would pose that the player somehow chose which instance to 'hold open' (maybe by dropping a certain item in there, or by having a skill akin to the traps he 'marks' the instance with, and of which there only ever can be one at a time?)
- A Stash tab that is not shared between characters
- Alternate globe skins. Yeah, I'm all for naked globe girls. But why not add naked boys, or cherubs, or Rhoas, or zombies (yeah, those not so naked, please)?
