Suggestion- New Thread Preview of Comming Next Gemstore item. Do you think it would help?

Just a suggestion but can we have a thread of ''what item will be added next on gemstore sale'' please?. Just like this one over here https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/458/news-gemstore-items-new-returned-sales/p1 but for comming next item. So we can keep some money to buy gems for a eventual comming next purchasing?

I think it would be very helpful for players to know what's coming up so they can plan their spending accordingly.

I also think that's why Anet are unlikely to do more than the current "Coming this week" sections at the end of Gem Store news articles. The more notice players have that something they want is coming up the easier it is to plan ahead. Firstly that means more time to convert gold to gems when the exchange rate is better and you spend less overall, and potentially time to farm gold to convert. On top of that it means some people are more likely to skip less desirable purchases because they know something they really want is coming later. It also reduces the chances of impulse buying - if you know a new item is coming a few weeks in advance you have plenty of time to think about whether you really want it before you need to make a decision, and some people will decide they don't. All of which results in less income for Anet.

None of which is unique to Anet, other businesses use the same tactics all the time for the same reasons. (And similar ones - like putting impulse buy items next to the queue so you don't have time to think about whether you really want it before you've paid for it.)

I'd love it if they did give us more notice of what's coming, but I won't be surprised if they don't.

Yes I know right... just like I did when i bought the branded pack skin thinking it was the last and a couple days after they added the Mad Realm Pack(i think) with in my opinion was cooler than the previous and cheaper... If i knew I would've saved the gems to buy this pack instead. I wish I were rich to buy both but unfortunally I ain't so I got to do to what I have availiable to buy gold and gems and try not to overspend.

it would allow me to think about my gem purchase before messing it up.

Can we rename to : 'New Thread Preview of Comming Next Real Balance Patch. Do you think it would help?'

No, the balance is just getting worse and the builds are getting dumbed down. The more they balance around zerk or go home the worse the gameplay becomes.

I just would like to be able to purchase something I want that I have the gems to purchase. Oh wait, it isn't available right now... for some reason. Artificial scarcity ticks me off. Get rid of this annoying rotation all together please.

Did my comment just do a /r/whoosh on you?They did them before, balance patch previews before the patch came so that adjustments could be made if it wasnt going to be well recieved.

Significant advance notice of something like an expansion, to perhaps build hype, makes sense to me. Adding a new skin or something similar does not.

No, I do not think it would help ArenaNet's sales one bit.
