-ALL Unlockable Weapons (grinding 100 Fake Nems or 200 Eyeballs is not fun, not to me anyway)
-Holiday pieces (want to make a character with a toga? Better hope it's valentines or you have to wait a year! Yeah, not fun.)
In fact, any costume part should be on the market. None of them effect stats, there are no Boots of +5 mincing.
I'm still not happy with the 'Acension' armour being locked up behind so many barriers, but I've honestly not found a use for most of the parts anyway, so that bugs me less.
Oh, and forget the store, put the damn emotes OUT of the Incarnate list and INTO the game for free! You should NOT have to pay in any way in-game or out for them. What, you have to be Incarnate to catch your breath or swoon? I don't smegging think so...

Either add the TF commander epaulettes to the store or add them as a reward for Invader. If I want a Villain to have the costume piece I have to go Rogue and then run the TFs.
Recipe-based costume pieces.
I'd say add "off-season" holiday costume unlock offers: Christmas pieces in July, that sort of thing.
Non-Incarnate specific costume items from the Astral/Empyrean stores. I'd rather spend paragon points for some of the items and save the merits for Ascension Armor unlocks.

Yes, I hate discovering on a high level character that I never got around to unlocking the Midnighter stuff and now I have to go back and do that before I can run an ITF. I don't mind the story arc, but I don't necessarily want to do it on every single character, and it gets easier and easier to skip the more new stuff is added.|

Actually, it would be even better if you just automatically unlocked it for all characters once they reach level 35.

I would like the holiday locked stuff, such as the christmas outfits, valentines day stuff and haloween stuff put in the store, so that we can access them on characters created way after these events have passed. You know say for a staff melee or titan weapon or whatever powerset.

Yeah I will second the call for pretty much any sort of in-game unlockable costume part to be unlockable via the market, excluding the incarnate costume pieces (not the emotes. that's ridiculous). I'm happy to work to unlocking them in the game, I haven't purchased the unlocks for the capes and auras because I don't mind doing them in game, but the option is nice.
Though I also kind of think some of the in-game unlocks should be tweaked. Almost all (if not all, though please correct me if I'm wrong) unlockable costume pieces only unlock per character. For stuff like the invention pieces, that's pretty negligible because it's extremely easy to shell out like a few thousand and get the recipe and all relevant ingredients. But stuff like doing the Katie Hannon Task force or the Cimeroran stuff and only unlocking it to that character account... just seems a lil work intensive. It'd be kind of nice if the costume stuff that actually takes a lot of effort to acquire would unlock account-wide when you unlock it.
Holiday stuff should definitely be in. It's great I can unlock it for free on halloween if I do event X or Y. It's better if I can pay a bit of cash to unlock it any time.
Oh and absolutely no 'limited time' shop offerings. 'Limited time' should be things like bargains and deals. 'Pay 600 pts, get 2 costume packs' etc. There shouldn't be *any* items like costume pieces and emotes that aren't on the market year round. New players shouldn't be punished for being new. Oh, sorry Timmy, you want a brain in a jar? Well you joined in December, you'll have to wait. That's just bad, especially with the pieces showing up in the costume creator.

All unlockable costume parts, really. The Family Tommy gun, the Rularuu weapons, the Nemesis rifle, all of it, please. |
I'm never going to have enough emps to buy those auras... but I want them. For the armor, well, it makes sense to have it gated, I guess.

I'd like to throw my hat in on getting anything that can be unlocked also purchaseable, with varying costs, so that players have the option. Costumes, weapons, emotes, and other things that can help define a character should be readily accessable. Like those unlocked by a badge, tommyguns for instance, shouldn't cost much, those that have to be unlocked during holidays or with merits... maybe a little more.

This, so free and Premium accounts can actually get them if they want as well. There's no way currently to do it, and that's a shame. Sure they could lease the invention system for a month and just buy the pieces for fairly cheap, but still... Options.|

Thank you for the time... |
There have been times I've wanted to use the Roman armor or the Rularuu swords on a character right out of the gate, long before they hit the level they can unlock either of those things. It would be nice to be able to have them on everyone somehow... even if it was something you could only buy for all of your characters after you unlocked it the "old fashioned way" in-game on one.

You should be looking at ALL the cosmetic unlockables in game, and asking yourselves : "Is there a reason we can't sell this?"
and then asking "Is it a good reason?"
If the answer to either of those questions is No, then it should be on the Paragon Market yesterday!

I do wish that worked differently than it currently does. I agree, it's a bit of a PITA to get those pieces for new characters.

I agree with all the people saying Roman Armour/Weapons, Patron Pools and Holiday Items. Holiday items could be only unlockable via the store if you've unlocked it with a character if it needs to be tied to the time/doing the content and you would rather not just make them account unlockable because moar money.

That said, agree the OP. I for one was never fond of having a story lock reason for capes and auras and this allows me to just go at level 1 with what I want.
Yes, in my head I just ignored the aura mission text, and personally I never thought of it as any really big time sink. It was more of just "Concept demands cape and/or aura! Wish I could have it at level one!"
I bought these two options the first day

All of the costume pieces being able to be used at level 1 instead of requiring level based unlocks. It's hard to create a theme for a character only to have a not quite fitting costume for 35 levels until you can unlock the pieces you need.

Can I buy a level 50 so I don't have to bother playing the game to get the character I want?
I mean, everyone here has already asked for every single reward short of XP to be available for purchase, and XP is already available, sorta, so, yeah. Just gimme the levels!
And before people start saying there's a difference, because they want to be able to make a fully realized concept character right out of the Character Creator without having to wait X levels and do such-and-such a mission, I counter with this: How many of your concept characters are SUPPOSED to be complete and total weaklings? =P

And I can't actually build him until Titan Weapons is live. >_>

To be able to start a brand new toon with every option available at character creation. Must have a level 50 and have unlocked them on some other toon? OK with me.
I want to be able to log onto the VIP server to join your CS costume contests and create a character with all options available and with the appropriate name. The only way to do that now is to transfer a toon that has all the unlocks, but then my angel of light character would have the halo and Roman skirt, and celestial wings, but still be named Zombie Man. And I'm not going through with the mess of renaming.

I think the hitch with the patron pools is going to be their alignment designation. I know we're just talking about throwing cash to unlock stuff in game, but given how specific the ppp is it feels kind of odd my newbies heroes will be able to follow down the villainous powers path without every actually being a villain when he hits the appropriate level. I kinda feel those should remain gated off without being a villain/doing the arc.
Though I wouldn't mind seeing some better duality and get that Hero patrol pool
The Rune of Warding as a permanent Temp Power like the Blackwand or Nem Staff. I'd gladly pay to unlock that as a permanent power for each of my accounts, as it's a far more suitable ranged option for my magic based toons than the Blackwand.
