Some things I would play money for.

I'd pay for access to a web-based market interface, like the one That Giant Fantasy MMO has.
I'd also pay for stand-alone offline and/or web based Tailor access.

My City Was Gone
I would pay for Super group renaming(Yes that old rhetoric!)
and global chat handle renaming.
4. Already possible. Null the Gull allows you to turn off group fly effects. I just saved you $10!
5. Already half possible, you can buy 2 lots of 10 enhancement spaces on the market for $20 each. There's 2 more lots on Beta, no telling when/if those will ever make it live though.

The suit itself was pretty stupid, as it claimed that CoH encouraged ripping off existing properties, despite the fact that the EULA specifically forbids/forbade it. The truth about the out-of-court settlement is a bit nebulous and vague, but one of the terms, iirc, was that NCSoft/Cryptic Studios never release a standalone costume editor/creator.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though.
I still wish it could happen, though. That'd be SWEET!

But Null the Gull is for me not anyone else. Scenario, Robot FF mastermind with Group Fly. I join a UG incarnate Trial. I turn on Group Fly and everyone starts yelling at me.
Here are my choices.
1. I tell everyone to STFU and exit the mission ( can you even do that ?, don't think so ) and go to Null the Gull to fix THEIR problem. Thus putting the whole trial on hold. Which would promptly have everyone giving me one star along with their favorite choice of words to describe me and not invite my Robot FF mastermind again to any future incarnate mission and then of course promptly vote to kick me from the current Itrial.
OR
2. I immediately turn off Group Fly and continue on.
I know I would pick option 2 and begrudgingly move on.
But if you think this whole null the gull thing would work. I would suggest to put your idea to the test. Use a 2nd build with SOs and join a BAF and see how long you last. Please send me a PM when your going to test out your theory so I can be there and say see I told you so.

And I'd like to add:

Menu - Chat handle - click "Rename."
I want a fart emote that triggers the puking emote in players and NPC's within a 10yd radius of my character.

Also, my main (Aggelakis, Emp/Arch Defender) is pretty much entirely HOs (some white IOs where SOs used to be). What am I supposed to be proving? That I can BAF with the best of 'em? Yes, I can.

In other words, IO sets are handy and useful, but not strictly necessary. At least, I believe that is what Agge is saying.

At least, that seemed to me to be the point that was being made. Though I'm not sure how enhancement type figures into that equation.

Yeah, I'm not sure what it's supposed to "prove" either. I've several 50s with SOs/HOs/common IOs that do just fine, yes even in BAF and Keyes. |

Joining the "Not sure how relevant to the rst of the discussion" crowd here, though.
I would pay to have multiples of my characters sharing the same name on the same server.
Bonus points if they can also share badges and supergroups (yay, I can have my own lair *AND* be able to afford it to look good!?)

I believe his suggestion was that you make an alternate build with Group Fly. Then join a BAF, leave Group Fly running the entire time and see how long it takes for people to yell at you to turn it off.|

While I don't think his attitude is particularly helpful I think he does have a valid point. Back when NtG was originally implemented one of the major complaints was that since the options were tied to a physical NPC as opposed to being a menu command it was impossible to toggle them on the fly. The problem here is that there are people (such as myself) who never actually get around to visiting NtG for one reason or another (in my case I only actually think of it when someone casts Fortune on me and by the time the mission/TF ends I've forgotten). Having the ability to turn off the effect of Group Fly on the fly without needing to visit NtG would be nice for the handful of occasions when someone actually has it. Plainguy is talking about suppressing it from the users end since it seems that the NtG options will never get implemented into the actual UI.

It was a failure, but it was a going concern for longer than, say, Auto Assault.

I don't think the devs want play money though
Why are all your suggestions included with a price you would pay? 
I liked it better when new content was free.

Huh, when was that?|

Because I remember paying a $15 sub to wait 8 months between updates and getting a new powerset every few years if I was lucky. Oh, and still having to buy Super Boosters on top of that if I wanted to stay current with costume options.

Old price for MMs: $15 per month|

New price for MMs: $15 per month or $15 single purchase or free perk for spending a certain amount of money.
In general for a VIP you get more stuff for your monthly sub than you did Pre-Freedom (with the option to pay extra to get even more). Someone who was a subscriber and is now a Premium player gets less but also pays less (potentially $0). And you know what, I'm ok with that.
Basically a list of options or services I would pay for and how much. Feel free of course to add your own or scoff at the prices I would pay.
1. I would pay 20 USD to have the ability to see all the Recipes and Salvage on my account. I'm tired of logging in 20 + toons to see which toon has what.
2. I would pay 10 USD to have the ability to see all my salvage and IOs in storage in one big list sorted by name or rarity. Not as tiresome of logging in toons to see whats what. But still a pain.
3. I would pay 10 USD to see all my auction items for one side at a time red or blue for my account. When bases are full that is the next place I hold stuff. Again I hate having to spend 40 million on a IO to find out the last toon on my list had it stored on the Auction house.
4. I would pay 10 USD to have Group Fly change from its current state to something where players can choose to have it on or not.
5. 20 USD to have a Mids types respec and more slots hold stuff so I'm not force to choose which IOs are worth me deleting during a respec because I only hold 10. Yes I do know I can purchase more slots. But regardless of 500 slots the whole respec process is PAINFUL.
End result 70 USD right now to get this stuff done. I know the price is steep but this stuff is such a pain in the back side to me I would pay high price to see it done.
