I have already seen several Chinese inspired outfits. We really need a Japanese inspired ones, specifically a samurai inspired one. We have a Katana like sword, just need the outfit to match.
Several ideas for gemstore stuff in this post which I will categorize by type (mount, glider, etc.):
Mounts:
Unicorn or Pegasus Griffon
T-Rex Raptor
Raven or Eagle Griffon
Super adventure mounts
Baby Wyvern or Dragon Griffon
Glider/backpiece:
Superhero cape glider/backpiece
Volatile Ley Orb Backpiece (kind of a giant ball of ley energy like we carry during current events stories but as a back-piece).
House within each racial home instance (similar to garden option) that we can unlock with gemstore purchase and decorate using our scribe and chill out alone in.
Eaters similar to candy corn gobbler for excess Heart of Thorns materials like Auric dust.
Fishing pond for home instance similar to garden with account bound chef recipes and maybe some for utilities with healing! (Also related, but not gemstore related but a fishing mini game somewhere in the game would be amazing!!!!!!)
Some other people might already have asked for capes and some stuff probably - don't mean to steal anyone's ideas just adding to them!

Any armor, weapons or toys that are not human-themed! Sylvari in particular look so much better in gear that is designed for them. But some nice norn-themed things with fur and knotwork ornaments would also be great, and something for the charr of course because they're famously hard to find gear for.
Actual armor skins over outfits, for all the reasons that have been stated many times.
Non-gendered armor. Let me wear the exact same, beautifully themed, practical and/or impressive gear that men get to wear. No skirts, heels, underwear, b-plates, b-windows or other "strategic" naked skin.
I once saw someone half-jokingly suggest a cat finisher for PvP, which each time randomly selects from any feline model ... and an Aurene wearing cat ears. That'd be hilarious, and I don't even do PvP.
All of this! I'd also really like more armors and backpack pieces that fit well on the charr model. I love my Griffon Hatchling backpack, but its little back feet hover over my Deadeye's back.
Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but could we have an item on the gemstore which is effectively a tome that lets us slot custom waypoints into it?
So for example something like the LS3/4 portal tomes, but where we could assign maybe 5-10 waypoints of our choice? I think it would be a nice QoL item for quicker access to WPs near the gather spots, events or world bosses that we frequent the most. (would need to have unlocked the waypoints before you're able to add them in of course)
The Book Of Cultural Behavior: An item similar to the How to Dance book that, when consumed, gives your account access to Emotes that aren’t normally available, or possibly unlocks new emote commands. Things like more talk varieties, work poses like hammering and welding, and special Emotes like the Olmakhan floating meditation pose.
There’s a variety of animations that I know people would pay money to have access to. I for one love the new Olmakhan emotes and would love to see them player accessible in some form.
Unbreakable Volatile Magic Gathering tools. OR an unlock to upgrade Unbound Magic tools to also collect Volatile Magic. OR add Mystic Forge recipe to combine Volatile Magic tools into a ones that have 250 uses like the Mystic Salvage Kit.
Unbreakable Volatile Magic Tools
Tome of the Traveler (Portal Tome that stores Portal Passes like Airship etc.)
Account Library Unlock (to store lore books and thanks for adding them )
I'd like to have a dye channel added to backpacks that are part of backpack combo/glider sets.... You can dye the glider but then it looks weird if your dye is different from the backpack item. It would be nice to have the backpack/glider combos match each other in dyes.

Shoulder gear variations on existing armor pieces.
My pictures will display symmetry options, because that's my thing but don't limit them to that. It should be both symmetry and swap sided versions.
For asymmetry to look good, it must still be balanced, it is simply a complex balance and it doesn't always look like when I can't choose which side I want it on.
Increasingly old MSPaint examples (no sense retaking the screen shots):
Again, I prefer symmetry but swapping the looks to the opposite side is worth doing too. I'd buy packages of these oO
Oooo I love this idea and completely agree with you! I would love to be able to have my armor symmetrical (Maybe an OCD thing). I would also love to be able to choose which side had what look. Being able to customize armor like that would be amazing.

I'd love to buy skins for necromancer minions. Those skins shouldn't completely change their look so that they can be easily recognized in pvp, but since you can heavily customize your character, i don't see why you can't change your minions a bit.
That would be awesome! I would absolutely buy necromancer minion skins! I kind of wish there was a way to get different looking ones.
Also I would like to suggest a rework of some of the in store outfits which differ drastically between genders. I would much rather have two versions of outfits like 'noble count outfit' or 'verdant executor outfit' or even 'lyssa's outfit' as I only really play male characters but the outfits for them I don't like as much as the females ones and I would have already purchased all three of those outfits mentioned if the female counterparts was available for male characters. Basically outfits should be similar between male and female with differences only in shapes and not the whole theme of the outfit (verdant executor goes from full plate battle armour on male models to a elegant lightly covered armour on females which is a huge difference - too much).
*** Would be nice to decide for yourself which version your character is wearing, ie if you want the female version on your male character you should get the option to select it etc and vice versa.
Tonics have been mentioned a lot, I would like to suggest having tonics be unlocked like mini's and have them be inside the wardrobe rather than taking up space in the banks or inventory.

I would like to remind anet I am still willing to pay 2000 gems for a normal coloured version of the destroyer wings.
There’s nothing worse than having a destroyer themed main character, destroyer wings dyed like normal fire, but the backpack being a venomous kind of green. Vine-Touched Destroyer Wings
Agreed, I want to be able to have my backpack match my glider..... If I can dye the glider skin I'd like to dye the backpack to match.
Customizeable Mistlock Home instance - Allow us to pick pieces of each racial instance to slap together and a modifiable home.
SAB Beta tester pass - Allow people access outside of when it is normally accessable
Portable Crafting station/stations - Like the Mystic Forge Conduit
More add-ons for Home instance - I personally would like the Fractal cat golems to be available in my Home instance and Crafting stations, for atmosphere.
There already exists the "Top Hat" skin, which i personally like, but sadly it makes ur characters bald for god knows why.. i've seen various of threads on Reddit as well about this, but I haven't yet seen anyone from Arenanet to comment on this matter. So..
1: Modify the existing skin, into having a default hairstyle, i know im nothing but a one guy, but literally any default hairstyle would do instead of the bald.
2: Since some people might not be bothered by this baldness, you could be able to make money out of this idea, by simply making another simple top hat skin, with the addition of hair. And yes i know it might sound like you're "milking money" if you did the 2nd option, but in the end, it is a gemstore item, a cosmetic one, which im sure nobody would mind in the end, but instead would gladly buy even if they already had the old top hat.
3: personally im not interested on the other skins other than the top hat, but there are various of other hat skins that do the same thing, such as the Wizard Hat, where u could make a similar change.
I'm not too sure if anyones reading up on this thread anymore, i surely hope so tho, since these small things can actually make a huge difference.

A loyalty scheme for certain amounts of gems spent, for example 400 gems - Transmutation Charges
Etc.. With more gems spent giving better items like a progress bar?
As long as this applied retroactively I would be ok with this. I just hate to think of all the players such as myself who have already spent hundreds in the gem store to have to start fresh on something like this.

Volume #2 Dance pack adding gw1 dances
I would pay for an Unlock. Having to lug around two sets of tools and constantly switch them out on multiple characters is not a chore I would participate in.
A warning in the gem store when you're gifting an item like cosmetic things or other endless use items like full passes or gathering tools letting the buyer know if they're gifting something the other person already has
And a trading post filter letting you filter out cosmetic and infinite use items you already have, and of course custom filters for items you don't want to deal with looking at anymore
a one time maybe 50/150/250GEMS - Keep / Tower / Castle Skin !. Guild that have the objective claim can use the item to make it looks flashy ~ Example Halloween Theme/ Chrismas etc
Animation packs. Tired of seeing the same run animations and combat idles. Allow us during a total makeover kit to switch animation types, for varied run animations, combat idle, non-combat idle, and perhaps even dodge and jumps.
I think doing this will switch up some of the staleness some of us feel playing the same character a lot. I have multiple maxed out theives of varied races, and I've gender swapped multiple times.
The human male animations are truthfully abysmal compared to human female. Who runs like that? Also that combat stance is terrible.
Asurans, especially noticeable under movement speed effects have completely varying strides when switching from say a shortbow to any dual wield configuration and it just does not feel right at all.
Charr, (amoungst the many model issues) have this very odd backpack sliding thing when the switch from dual wield to 2 handed, sliding the backpack up into the air. It's completely rediculous. Possibly an option to not have them run on all fours when weapons sheathed (just a thought).
Hoping that some of these animation packs could address some of these issues, while not wasting dev time on something that wouldn't generate any revenue to go back and fix. This would also add varying run animations when you have multiple characters of the same race running side by side, getting rid of the army of clones look.
kitten I know I'd pay 2500 gems for each pack per race, per gender. But then again I like to spend a lot in the gems store.
Custom Preset Build Templates - maybe like a certain amount like 3 free as standard per character, and then you have to pay gems to unlock more templates.
By custom preset build templates i mean, you can save traits & utilities & equipment (equipment optional if that's too hard to implement, I know you guys implemented the utilities/traits for pvp though and that is enough) and we can name it, then select it to switch our character to that.
Permanent Volatile Magic gathering tools and a permanent upgrade extractor. Also a head piece and wrist guard for people who want to look a bit like wonder woman.
I'd love to see larger horns then the devil horns available as a hat/headpiece. The horns on the first follower desmina and winter monarch outfits are fantastic, but i'd love to be able to wear them on their own WITHOUT a hat piece attached to them. Just the horns.
Personall build save box - save up 3-5 builds (traits, gear, skills). Not usable in WvW outside of spawn point. Price: you can give it for 10k gems and still I will buy it.
SAB acess pass: all worlds!!! Make it like stand alone dlc , or like build box for 10k gems. I think that there is some items where price doesn't matter, because ppl will want it what ever it cost.
Memory return device: this device will set you back in time to LS1. (Battle for LA...)
Theese items can have high price for your high effort to make them.

I would really like to see a means of refunding unwanted items from Black Lion Chests into either keys or gems. For example. I have the permanent hair contract. Since getting it and opening nearly 60 chests in that time accumulated 10-ish single-use hair kits. Please let me exchange these for something that isn't just sitting in an inventory slot taking up redundant space.
^^^ Yes, please to what Sapphire said . I ,have similar issue with the hair kits accumulating. Would love to exchange for something I do want - converting for keys or gems would be great .
After unlocking this NPC in your home instance, you can talk with them every day in your home instances, and the NPC will gather all available nodes for you and give the materials to you in a series of packages.
If you talk with them while having equipped gathering tools that produce bonus gatherings, this NPC will also produce bonus packages, but it will not produce damaged junk if you have just copper tools.
They will also gather from nodes that do not require tools like the witnersday tree, the leather and cloth racks, the treasure chest, etc.
They will open chests that require keys if you have keys when you talk with them.
There will be extra dialog options to turn on and off gathering of some types of nodes: Metal, wood, harvesting, locked chests and other.
This could be done by creating packages that replicate possible drops from these nodes and gathering tools, checking the flags of the nodes to see what's not gathered, and produce these packages while setting the flags as used.
The price could be something between 2000 gems with no bonus costs, or something much smaller like 800-1600 gems but require a daily fee of 60-90 copper per node.
Both males and female hair styles available for all genders. I have a female Asura main but there is a hair style that is just for the boys that I would utterly love to have on her. Having both option available would be awesome.
Just as with the various "endless" gathering tools (e.g. the Unbound Magic Harvester, logging pulse, and mining beam)
--endless pact crowbar
--endless vial of chak acid
--endless exalted key
Also, a pass book, as someone already suggested. One slot item that holds:
--mystlock pass
--noble's folly pass
--lily of elon pass
--etc.
Perhaps a meta scroll book that holds various teleport scrolls, or teleport books, so we don't need to use multiple inventory slots.
