@Soukyuu Well prepare your self you think they made a costume slot in your equipment with no intention of selling costumes in the cash shop? May not other classes costumes but you probably wont have to look like your class.
For me, customization is what keeps me in the game as far as ābondingā with my avatar. If I have limited power over how I can customize my avatar, it makes me feel less attached to the gameā¦I donāt know how else to explain it.
It would be so wonderful to have a chance to change the eye style to those that NPCs have - perhaps an eye style slider? I canāt wait to see hair colors and eye colors added (Plus more hairstyles in general, gah!), IDC if itās cash shop only, as long as the option is present. Wasnāt there a prospective skin tone slider mentioned a while back? One of my thoughts when I played in the beta was how much I wish my character had a darker skintone to better compliment her class outfit. ,_,
Customization is so important to me (and others) and I hope we can see more information on what sort of customization will be down the road for us, whether in the cash shop or as a slider option at launch.

Too deceiving. Bad idea.
As always, the forums screw you over when you reply to a post directly above your post. I keep forgetting that.
My post is a reply to @kkanes77, but the forum doesnāt display it. Of course there will be costumes and I welcome it - but Iām against allowing other classes wear your classās costume unless itās on their path (no wizard wearing peltasta costume etc)
In this case, itās just horse armor. If IMC moves past cosmetics and goes into p2w, then we should start complaining.
Exactly Cash shop will lead to P2W itemsā¦P2P is fine you get quality playersā¦ they could do premium accounts that only give you small advantages like free travel or maybe increased rates for some item drops and like 0,5 increase on exp or something that if you were not premium you could still achieve it would just take a bit longer.
I was thinking about the NPC designs the entire time I was playing the beta. I really do hope they expand on costumes and such with an item shop.
Of course, itās only natural that they would. They just have more important things to focus on right now.
I do hope dreadlocks somehow make it into the game.

āP2P is fine you get quality playersā This is not true i wish it was because then i would scream P2P but it just isnāt. Dumb people can have money as well or little timmy stole moms credit card.

Concerning p2p, you may not be assured quality players. However, it is fair for everyone as everyone has paid an equal price for the same experience which results in the same rate of game progression.
Concerning the premium accounts suggestion, how in heavens is that not p2w?
@proxy_mctemporary
I am in no way endorsing P2W im fine with P2P or F2P as long as the cash shop sticks to convince/vanity
ā¦did you just agree with yourself?
Yes, I know. I only included you to the reply concerning p2p and the quality of the playerbase.
I think he was replying to me.
Of course, I donāt agree with his slippery slope and am entirely fine with a cosmetics cash shop.
Itās only when p2w items become included in the cash shop, or when in-game items that players had previous access to are removed only to be included in the shop, then would I have a problem with said cash shop.

cash shop is just a bad ideaā¦ hurts in game economy as wellā¦ There should just be in game items that we can sell and tradeā¦ The shop should not contain items, just services ā¦
A purely cosmetic cash shop is fine, it starts get out of hand when you put items and exp bonuses in there.
@aturner919 Honestly the idea of ToS not having a cash shop when itās already clear they have iCoin currency built into the game is kind of absurdā¦ but thatās just me. I understand your concern though and itās valid butā¦
That being said Iād like for this thread to stay on topic of character customization ideas and how they could be implemented into a cosmetic cash shop. So to everyone arguing about p2p / f2p / whether a cash shop should even existā¦ there is bound to be a topic that is better suited for that discussionā¦? I hope! 
@kkanes77 @thebloodyaugust I think non class related costumes make things a bit complicated but I donāt think itās the same thing as a swordsman straight up wearing a wizard costume. I do think that undermines the uniqueness between the 4 branches and think itās necessary they keep the class costumes an exclusive feature to keep them all distinct. ā I know kkanes didnāt mean any harm by it though, I can sympathizeā¦ Iād totally wear female oracle on my archer. hahaha. (perhaps non-class costumes would simply be unallowed in pvp so people always have at least an idea of what branch a player they are fighting is in.)
I hope the cash shop is used exclusively for cosmetic items like this and not upgrade stones which would kill the game instantly.
Would be nice to have cash shop with costumes, dyes, hats and cute pets 
@Desire
Pets are a bit harder to incorporate, considering some classes are based entirely around their pets/mounts/companions. An alternative would be cosmetics for existing pets.
The rest should be fine.
@proxy_mctemporary
Well if all pets are the same damage/stats they could sell different pets.
