New store item: Crafter's mark

[Asgaroth22]

Well, if it can be bought from the store as a token, akin to gametime tokens, then it could be traded with the crafters for their goods, as was previously stated.

Sure, it is a bit p2w, but so is trading gametime tokens for ingame items isn´t it?

These marks would then give a permanent upgrade to the character that used it, therefore a crafter would only need 1, unless he dies.

If that was the case, it would be practically a one-time injection of money into J&Ls pockets, which by the way I don't think is bad. But it stills smells of P2W to me. As you stated, we already have the gametime tokens. "Full and unlimited Gameplay" - that's what's written in the store section. As long as I have Play time/subscription on my account, I shouldn't be made to make additional purchases to enjoy my playing to the fullest. Anyway, trading needs to be tweaked to introduce something like this.

I would say its not p2w as the functionality of an item with or without a mark is identical.

Yeah, it is not like the mark would add stats or buffs to the item.

While I think that the idea has some merit, I'm not sure if this should be in the store.

You have access to full and unlimited _gameplay_. This, like the sketchbook, doesn't qualify as gameplay but more as aesthetics and superfluous additions. Being that it would fall along the same line it would make sense it would also have a semi-rare method of making it in-game, much like the sketchbook - thereby still being part of gameplay, albeit easy to purchase.
