Outfit Shop

[Thaliat Everwood]

So I've been checking out the outfit shop and while I have scored some deals, I'm finding a lot of overpriced outfits listed. I kind of suspect this is going to end up being worse than the marketplace ever was. Some of the outfits are really out there, but those are the ones I go for because they usually have one or two items I really want and quite often the really weird ones have decent prices because the user is clearing out their inventory.

I was wondering what everyone else's take on this is. Will you use it to shop? What do you think will be the pricing trend? Would you actually wear any of the outfits you see there? And so on...

**gasp..I posted a topic. Does that mean I lose my lurker card?**

It seems a bit awkward to me. I think it might have been fine if there weren't so many items with multiple forms to mix things up. I might use it to shop but very carefully. I'm sure there's a few steals here and there, but It isn't like I need a lot more items very soon, I'm already around 1500 items. I get lost sorting through them all. The ones they showcased so far I haven't been the least bit interested in, but I enjoy putting together my own outfits.

Don't worry, rarely posting a topic won't revoke your lurker status.

It sounds ideal for users who have lots of gold and don't have a knack (or the interest) for making nice outfits. I haven't actually seen what's being offered, but I don't think I'll use the feature.

Still, I think it's a great idea in general, and I know a lot of people have been asking for this for ages.

Edit: I just checked it out, and there does not appear to be one blessed thing worth paying for. :s

Also, I want to know WHAT items I am buying before handing over gold. I wouldn't use this feature unless it listed which items are included in the outfit. Apparently they're soon going to add an option to list the items that are in the outfit, but it will be at the seller's discretion. Good to know.

I think it's a neat idea, but I haven't seen anything worth buying it, and I'm definitely not liking that there is no item list.

Granted, it is a new feature, so I'm sure that it'll be fixed up, but I don't know if I'll ever make any use of it myself.

I'm guessin' it's because you're payin' for the creativity. not the items. o.O  

[Taeryyn]

Have you seen most of the outfits? What creativity? lol

FINALLY I CAN NOW PAY TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DRESS UP MY AVATAR AND BUY MY ITEMS. I have a reason to be needlessly rich now.

Some outfits are basic newbie items. Those are lame. But I have seen some that are well thought and not just a cosplay mock up. I like those when I see then, not that I buy them....unless I get a really good deal.

I honestly haven't been seeing anything good at all, but I did give up after like 20 pages. The vast majority of what I've seen falls into two categories:
-"outfits" consisting of starter/free/nearly free items
-every item of a particular set, sold for drastically more than the items are collectively worth

So, can someone drop a link to the outfit shop? I can't seem to find a freakin' thing on this site.

Oh, well it looks interesting.

I am the same way, I like to replicate my own cosplays if I see one that gets me inspired.
