Federation Bill store changes

    What if the Fed Bill store became a place to get temporary cosmetics? That would include hard to get items, or items that haven't been available for a while. Those who earned these items in the past through special events (or Alliance) would pretty much be the only people to own permanent versions.

    Temporary items really suck... higher priced (but not ridiculously high) permanent versions would be better imo.

    You might as well remove fed bills from game if you put Temporary items.
    Best choice would be what 1 person suggested that Fed Bills functions kinda like Emporium but changes every week or so not 10 hours and all items open to everyone with high price.

    The big thing is the bills themselves are somewhat of an indicator of your time played. If you've got a stockpile of them, you've likely been with the game a while (or spent quite a bit on boxes that contain them) and just haven't found much of a use for them. Ultimately that means the store should feel like a nice reward for sticking with Tera, and right now it's uh, just sorta there.

    So since there's been lots of suggestions, I might as well throw mine out there as well...

    I think the store should be changed to have randomized items in it, similar to the rewards emporium but on a longer cooldown and without tiers. It might even be nice to allow the use of bills to change the store's current inventory.

    Why do this? First and foremost, it makes it interesting again. People will check the shop often just to see what's available and you [EME] can rotate new items into (and out of) the store to prevent it from getting stagnant. (Small example of this, I still login to Destiny each weekend to see what Xur has available that week.)

    With it, you could occasionally put more rare items in there along with certain cashshop items (but make them account bound to control the reseller market), such as name and character changes. In addition, you could maybe add certain consumables (food/nostrum) that could be purchased with bills as well.

    Last thing: if EME decides to rerelease things like the old alliance masks, I think that's a great idea, but I personally believe they should be recolored or given some indicator they aren't exactly the same. The originals should be special because those players were involved with the game during that time period and should have at least that little slice of history to call their own.

    This idea ^

    I did read the rest of his post?

    I'm still sticking with temp = sucks.

    maybe not go with achievement or alliance related items?

    i want the witch hat back in fed bills shop also. I would also like to see a permanent fire halo. please do not make stuff temporary in the shop. another suggestion would be putting pets in the shop. even if they don't loot or do anything, it would be nice to have the older pets in there, the ones that you used to could get in velika way back in the beginning.

    why not add canephora potions and some other combat goodies? consumable supplies are running out pretty fast for people that run 30-man several times with alts.

    Other option is add some items(cosmetics) on a limited period of time, and make some stock in bills store seasonal or something, adding a high value on them would make people think if it's worth to spend their bills on those items or maybe wait other season to see something they like more.

    Even if people don't like this last idea i think is the one more balanced. What about loot boxes of those rare cosmetics. RNG between temporary and chance to get a perma. But if you implement this i guess there should be more ways to get bills.

    I would like to see dragons there but honestly i doubt BHS would approve that idea unless cash shop is involved.

    those masks show nothing, i can name people from your server who fed kills to themselves and have no clue how to pvp just to get the mask and gold, some even got exarch on multiple alliances to feed wins to themselves in conflict. i have had those masks for years when alliance was actually active and i see no point it keeping it exlcusive because there are people walking around now that either fed to get the masks as me or alliance became so dead you could just do the daily quests with no pvp to get ech/commander, making the masks even more insignificant.

    This is true. I got into Alliance close to the end of it's run. I was just farming for noctenium and accidentally got a leadership mask. Our friends used to kid that we could accidentally become exarch and have never even fought a duel.

    Couldn't really happen of course.... >.>

    Initially I liked this idea, but then realized I would not actually purchase anything temporary... I like the idea of permanent items that are recolored versions of discontinued stuff.

    I would dig latrines to get a red hood that is actually RED (not reddish brown, but a color that matches the red cape, Veteran's I think?) Similarly matched hoods for ALL the capes would be amazing.

    Also, how about a permanent fiery halo? (bats eyes)

    Might as well get rid of them or make a rng box of random goodies.

    Temp items suck and just a slap into the player's face, they only work for things like the streams or events.

    Just put some old outfits / stuff you guys won't re-release into it and people will gladly accept this.

    pretty useless and myself and others would literally find that useless.......like we said earlier some of hte people running around with the legacy items did not actually earn it and either exploited glitches or exploited feeding to get them.
